I love my birthday. Always have. It drives me crazy to see people complain about their birthdays and how they’re getting older and blah, blah, blah.
I get to celebrate another year – the fact that I’m still here and alive. I shouldn’t be here and six years ago I had the desire to end my life. But God is bigger and that’s worth celebrating. 
As I prepare to turn 25.. ahem.. 32.. I’d love for you to celebrate with me.

Esther’s House isn’t just a dream anymore – it’s a reality- and we’re inching closer and closer to getting the doors opened by 2016.

The Breakthrough is Coming

I have a feeling a ginormous breakthrough is coming. Usually when things get crazy, a breakthrough comes on the other end. Let me tell you, things have been crazy. Satan has attacked my health, but he will not win. He has attacked my family’s health, but he will not win. He has attacked my church family, but he will not win.
I’m waiting for the breakthrough. In the meantime, here’s what’s happening: 
Our first fundraiser, the Fuel the Gap 5k/10k Race/Walk in my hometown of Belle, Mo., is on September 26, 2015. You should register and come run or walk with us. We’re giving away a Branson Vacation Package, a ton of other prizes, and offering a Selfie Scavenger Hunt. I’d love to see you there.
I’m meeting with women on a weekly basis and God is showing up. I’m watching 2 Corinthians 3:17 play out before my very eyes – freedom! Through tears, Scripture, prayers, and sometimes just a hug, I have the honor of sitting next to these beautiful women of God and watch them surrender their deepest pains to the Lord. There’s no greater feeling than watching God show up in the midst of their brokenness and provide healing.
We’re praying over a house, literally. A friend and I show up almost everyday, head to the backyard and pray together for God’s provision over the house and the land. I can’t wait to tell you more about it! In Deuteronomy 11:24, God spoke these words: “Wherever you set foot, that land will be yours.” I’m holding onto those words.
I can’t wait to keep sharing with you…

Let’s Celebrate My Birthday Together

As my big day approaches, would you consider donating to the mission of offering hope to broken women? It’s the best birthday present I could ask for.
Maybe you would like to give in honor of someone you know struggling with addiction, depression, sexual abuse, or a variety of other life-controlling issues. Let me know who they are. I’d love to have our prayer team lifting them up in prayer.
