I am a dangerous woman
There is nothing more dangerous than a woman who is unapologetically herself and not marked by fear, filled with ambition and confidence, a woman who stops at nothing to purse the desires in her heart and who finds her strength in God. She is fueled with a spirit of fire, the kind that only comes…

I am not a city girl
I’m not a city girl. A city is where a nurse abducted me the day I was born. Ironically, I spent the last 14 years as a critical care nurse. The city is also where I was molested at the age of 4 and where I had a gun pointed to my face at the…

It’s not easy
Trust & waiting doesn’t come easy. It wasn’t easy for David to believe he would become king. His time of waiting was filled with challenges and near death experiences. But he trusted God.

God, if you were here today
It is you Lord, that I wish I were getting coffee with today. I wish to hear you speak, tell me things I know nothing about. I need to hear that things will be alright. I have so many questions, so many things I ponder. Yet, most of all I need you to see me…

Depths, and all things Honduran
It is as though like clockwork that my deepest thoughts seem to invade my mind at 3am. As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing it were a warm summer day and for all things like a Honduran summer, a rippling effect of questions came to mind. What brings you joy? How can…

The waves are what give the ocean character
Right now I could use the tranquility of the ocean. From sunrise to sunset, the ocean speaks volumes to my soul. I belong there. It’s very rare that you find a beach with the perfect view of the sunrise and sunset. (I haven’t been to very many beaches, except for all those on the eastern…

To the person looking back at you
Look in the mirror. Do you see the person looking back at you? That’s the person God created. Period. Realize Gods love for you is so infinite he thought the world needed one of you. 💙
