Thank you, @tanjipatton, for joining me in Rome for such a special day. 💙 After more than 20 years of living in this city, I find myself thinking about how some moments come full circle.

Years ago, Tanji and I sat together @giolittiofficial recording a segment about gelato as @goodtastetv was getting ready to launch. We shared a love of food, wine, travel and Italy. Neither of us could have known that years later, she would return to Rome and our paths would cross again in such a different way. This time, it wasn’t the food that brought us together. It was our faith.

There is something different about opening Scripture in the places where the early Church lived, suffered and carried the Gospel forward. Walking through Rome together, we followed the footsteps of Paul and Peter, but one moment in particular will stay with me.

We descended into the Mamertine Prison, traditionally associated with Paul’s imprisonment in Rome. I watched as Tanji sat there and read Scripture aloud in the very place where a man in chains could still write about joy, peace, contentment and hope.

A place meant to imprison and silence him could not silence the Word of God.

That is what makes these places so personal to me. It was here in Rome, through many of these same places and Scriptures, that the Lord began speaking to me in a different way during my own journey.

I invited Tanji to step into that story with me, and she said yes.

Neither of us knew what the days ahead would bring or what she herself would soon be facing. Looking back now, I can’t help but think that God already knew. He knew what she would need. He knew what I would need. And He knew that a friendship that began years ago over food and wine would become a friendship rooted in something far greater.

Sharing my journey with Tanji felt less like an interview and more like a continuation of the conversation we had been having all day as we walked through Rome.

Tanji, I’m so grateful our paths crossed all those years ago, and even more grateful you came back to Rome with an open heart to experience these places through the lens of faith. 💙

Tanji Patton our longtime Houston Life friend and guest shared a deeply personal update with us today. She's been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her message was clear, if you feel something, don't ignore it. Be persistent and advocate for yourself. We're sending Tanji so much love and she navigates this next chapter. ❤️

Monday was another @mdandersoncancercenter MD Anderson Cancer Center appointment —my fourth trip in recent weeks up the I-10 corridor to Houston.

The first few times, I’ve made that drive with a good bit of apprehension—fear of the unknown, uncertainty about what lay ahead, and all the emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis. Yet every single visit, I left with a beautiful assurance that God had been walking beside me. He’s been showing up in unexpected, tender ways that remind me I’m not on this journey alone. Truly, AWE isn’t a big enough word.

As you know, Monday’s weather was dicey and that drive up I-10 can be tedious—add pouring rain to the mix. But this trip, something changed.

Somewhere along I-10, as we were weaving through the downpour and around the big rigs, it hit me like a bolt of lightning. I wasn’t dreading the appointment anymore. In fact, I found myself looking forward to it—not because I was excited to meet with a surgeon, but because I couldn’t wait to see how God was going to show up this time.

When we pulled into the drive at the Mays Building, I stepped out of the car and slipped my hand into my pocket because I felt something there. I rarely use pockets, so I was surprised to feel something inside.

I pulled out a tiny little Jesus figurine.

The tears came instantly.

A sweet friend from church, Jonnica, had given it to me weeks ago. I had tucked it into the pocket of these pants one Sunday and completely forgotten about it. The funny thing is, I hardly ever wear this pair because they have to be dry cleaned. I had grabbed them at the last minute before leaving for Houston that morning.

There He was....His message was loud and clear!

The words that keep coming to mind are ‘tender mercies.’

As Psalm 103 says, ‘He crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.’ God is so faithful!

I continue to remember all of you in my prayers, am so grateful for yours, and hoping God shows up for you in unexpected ways today. Sending love! ❤️ 🙏🏻 😃

“Always on Time.” He is.

The biopsy I wasn’t looking forward to this week is behind me now, and once again, it’s so clear that God goes before me.

If you’ve ever been to the @mdandersoncancercenter in H-town, you know the dramatic escalators that carry you into the heart of the hospital. As I rode up this week …see more

Only God could transform an early, intimidating, Sunday morning MRI appointment @mdandersoncancercenter in Houston into something beautiful.

A few weeks ago, I learned that I have a malignant breast tumor. Many of you have walked this road, so you know the unbelievable rush of emotions that immediately begin swirling through your mind—and yes, the fear.

When I found out last week that I would need yet another MRI with contrast and biopsy, and that my MRI was scheduled for 7:00 a.m. today—the Sunday morning after July 4th—I wasn’t thrilled. But I also knew the only way through this process was to keep moving forward.

Sitting and waiting in the tiny prep room, I realized my church’s 8:00 a.m. service was about to begin. I grabbed my phone and earbuds and started watching. Just then, the MRI technologist came to take me back. She apologized for interrupting my phone time, and I laughed, telling her I was simply tuning into my church service.

Then she asked, “Would you like to listen to it while you’re in there?” I was stunned by the offer. I later learned this beautiful girl goes by the name of “Gucci.”

Gucci offered to pull up the livestream on her computer and connect it to the MRI headset. I watched as she adjusted settings, found the volume controls, and brought up Community Bible ChurchCBC’s website. I was stunned that she took the time to make that happen for me.
For the next 30 minutes while lying inside…(continued in comments)
