This was sent to me by another performer on the ship, because honestly... I haven't recorded anything that I've done so far 🥴 mostly out of shame and dissatisfaction in my vocal ability and even more in myself. It's been an honest struggle to find my voice again and love it after the passing of my father. I've credited soooo much of who I am as a vocalist behind that man that its pretty uncomfortable when you don't have that pillar to hide behind anymore. I feel exposed, naked, raw... vulnerable.

But I place this here as a step towards silencing those thoughts and actually view myself as this audience would:
Confident
Powerful
Commanding
Engaging
Talented
SURE
I stand in this new image of myself, seeing that I have come such a long way. And that what I have to present is ENOUGH and UNIQUELY ME. I thank you Lord for this change of perspective and hope this allows someone else the perspective that it gave me.

Come out of hiding.

rehearsal for DEWLY x @evolve.dfw
this is me being courageous where i wouldn’t have been in past seasons. this is Gods grace literally personified. this is me enjoying the gifts that God has given me, free from personal critique or judgement. this is me falling in love with who He has always made me to be…. a worshipper.

Thanks to Trevor, I finally have some more footage from a show performance. This is what a typical Saturday night looks like in my life. i recognize that it’s not so typical, in fact. and to God, i’m always grateful for that. #jordankahn #weddingsinger #blackwomen taken in Park City, Utah by @demareaaa

This time last year, I was down so bad I honestly didn’t know if I would ever get back up… if I would ever be the same. If you didn’t know, I suffered an achilles injury that literally shook my foundation to the core. I questioned my identity, my capacity became obsolete, and my money was freaking hilarious! That experience made me realize that I had become the source of my life and not Christ, that all the scripture and knowledge I was consuming was indeed puffing me up instead of positioning me before the Cross.

“But thanks be to God…”

Thanks be to God for his kindness. And for redeeming time itself to experience this year’s August with so much joy and newness. From new opportunities of travel and exploration, to even introducing new habits and new regulations of nervous systems. How kind is He to even think of me in that way?!

I’m grateful for that precious season of injury and recovery. That foundation has to be broken so that Christ’s firm foundation could be truly established in my heart. And i’m grateful for God’s love that has allowed me to receive this season with humility and gratitude. What’s wild is, the recovery process is not finished, meaning neither is God and neither am I.

This acrylic praise is for the one and only Dolly Parton. She was such an influence to me, from her addictive southern twang to her amazing fashion and style. I got my first set of acrylic nails designed after her…. cherry red, of course. How fitting that now #this cherry red acrylic set will send you on home.

Dolly, thank you for dying empty. Thank you for your contributions to making the world a better place and for looking fabulous doing it. Thank you for never shying away from your faith and being a light everywhere that went.
Rest Well Dolly Parton 💔🕊️

The Lord has been keeping me up for 2 days about this video so here you go. This is from a moment back on Easter Sunday. I pray the vulnerability you see be an example that things are never perfect on this walk with Christ, that there is grief that comes with transformation/salvation…. I pray this is also an example that regardless of the grief, Jesus truly is the best thing for your life, your plans, and your soul. Be encouraged 💪🏾 by @demareaaa

Ain’t no way around repentance, no matter how we try to excuse ourselves or manipulate around it. i would even be as bold to say that you aren’t fully SAVED without repentance from your old life. Now there are those like me, who struggle to repentance, thinking the first time you repent is the only time you need to. Or even thinking the good that i do or the good intentions of my heart excuse me from it as well…. and that’s just NOT TRUE! Jesus calls for us to repent, every single day. it’s definitely a hard truth, because it forces us to step outside of our pride, take an honest look at our humanity and understand that we are in NEED of Him. it ca be very uncomfortable at times… obedience is often almost always inconvenient. But it really is for our GOOD.

Thoughts on my evening walk at 5:55 pm:

Please hear the heart behind this. There are so many of us who are dealing with financial insecurity right now, regardless of what their instagram has to say. but to that person in the same situation as me, let this please be a word of encouragement. the Lord sees you and cares about what you’re going through. Isolation in these times is the devil’s playground, and no matter what your financial situation may be right now, that doesn’t disqualify you from community or receiving all the benefits that community has to offer.

communication really is key. speak out against the shame and guilt with your honesty and courage to confess. it’s easier said than done (trust me, i know) but it is absolutely beneficial in the end.

just for context:

in just this year alone… i’ve been given better employment opportunities, making almost $10k a month. ive also been exposed to more creative opportunities as well. i’ve been able to travel more, i’ve joined a new church, ive been able to form new relationships with beautiful souls and get closer in relationship to older friends.
and also in that same year i’ve been stolen from, lost friends, gotten fired, suffered a major physical injury, ive confessed addictions to my pride, to weed, to external validation. i’ve made idols of my capability and skill set. my identity in Christ has been tested on multiple levels and i’ve even exposed what really happened between me and my father.

i’ve had to ask for things like help, accountability, grace and forgiveness. i’ve been humbled by the hard truths that ive had to face…. that as capable and hardworking and intentional as i want to be, i am still a sinner. falling short of His standard each and every day, in desperate need of a Savior. this has been my year of pruning. of putting my hands down to get something from God and returning to my knees to GIVE to God…. my yes, my surrender, my life.

i share this not to have the internet in my business, but as a light to those who may find themselves in the same place. i share this to say that following Gods call to DEEPER comes at a price… of suffering, of your comfortability, your idols, your pride, and your plans. i also share this to say that you are not alone. and that whatever God is requiring of you in this season, regardless of what it is, doesn’t compare to what God has in store for you. i share this to be a fisher of men.

take that next step towards God… confess your sins, deal with your flesh, and in the middle of that vulnerability know that the love of God is near to comfort and strengthen you to take another step forward. taken in Dallas, Texas by @demareaaa
