Kind of chic to brag on the most powerful force in the universe: God’s love for us. 

Knowing God as the perfect parent and provider has transformed and accelerated my life. My eyes are wide to the true, constant open heaven we are living under as His awakened children.

No matter what we walk through, grief, pain, and deepest heartache, I promise you this: it gets better, it gets brighter, and the love of God ultimately will never fail.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

“Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:8

“The greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13

This last year, I have watched the goodness of God unfold in ways that are mind-blowing.

Giving God control, sitting in rest in Christ and watching His perfect timeline rewind and manifest supernaturally, will be the moed gift I say thank you to the Lord for, FOREVER. 

God has literally reversed a decade for me, spirit, soul, and body, and what's so awesome, is no person or external circumstance ever get to control the truth of what is ALREADY TRUE in the spirit.

Memories to note.

Worshiping through pain with my church family. 
Going to Greece. Seeing Jesus stories come to life.
Going to Quesnel, Canada.
Sitting on the floor and having the honor of ministering to young people struggling with suicide and identity, and watching God encounter and heal them in real time.

Eating homemade waffles with my sweet friend Alexia and her beautiful family. Them naming a lamb after me — which is absolutely hysterical (video incoming on my story). But truly, one of the sweetest friendships. What started as a youth event will probably become an annual event and tradition.

Then her taking me to Banff, Canada, and getting to canoe on Lake Louise, which genuinely felt like experiencing God Himself in the water, the mountains, and the beauty. It was stunning. Marked by that trip.

The support system of my family and true spiritual best friends.
Being fully awakened to grace and truth.
Living in that full truth as a crowned daughter of the Most High God while awakening others to their perfected identity in Christ and the complete, finished work of Jesus.

Exposing religious and abusive systems in homes and church structures while still radically loving people and the Church.

One of my best friends and I creating a world together that we are now stepping fully into.
So many beautiful and sacred projects unfolding this year.

Saying yes to a new vehicle.
Saying yes to a new adventure.
More on that to come.

Living from the high place, seated in Christ, and watching the miraculous hand of God move through surrender to create the life I’ve prayed for for so long. 

Ya'll, God is good. Nothing but grace and goodness on my lips this Birthday.

The Christmas of 2025 was so beautifully merry and bright. Where would we be without Jesus, family and friends that have become family. God is so faithful. Praying peace, joy, love and abundance from my family to yours. 

Merry Christmas ya'll,

Never, EVER underestimate the power of a word in due season.

In the past two days, I’ve had the most empowering conversations—a lovely friend seeing me deeply, 4 treasured voice memos from my bestie restoring my childlike belief, and a chorus I wrote months ago returning at the perfect time.

Lower-level thoughts tried to crush hope, but staying seated in perfect Love Himself—and being surrounded by aligned friends led by the Spirit—flooded me with supernatural empowerment, joy, and strength.

Always follow the whispers of the Spirit. You never know how one word can lift someone out of what the inferior tries to keep them stuck in.

Who you’re aligned with is everything. If your community isn’t empowering you in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit—leading to authentic identity and freedom from religion—love you, but make an adjustment. It can truly be life or death internally.

@sarahjturner thank you for your empowerment, journey, inspiration, and intention. That quote was direct confirmation—Love never returns void. It may not come as we expect, but always better, in perfect timing. So much hope.

@stephanimcdaniel pookie boo, I adore you. You always hit the mark. I received the DNA of the Lord through your empowerment. I love you. We’ll be sisters crafting the future with the Lord and our families forever.

@bayturnermusic @jrusssilver @mayorofthenorthside fam—remember that late co-write and tacos? That chorus just ministered to me again. Let’s finish it.

@sara.gillespie you make all my photography dreams come true. You are the definition of a holistic healthy friend. Sisters forever.

Nashville trips lately. Sweet and abundant—documenting for my digital memory book. Jon Bellion and Bieber’s new records on repeat for the drives. Eating, playing, creating our way through the city. When it’s what you’re created to do, it’s hard to call it a job.

My creative agency partnered with 3 incredible clients to bring to life some heart dreams.

~ Creative direction for first single image, social content + photo shoot | @claracalaway

~ Co-produced client’s 3rd agency single with @cobyjamesmusic | Creative direction for visuals, social content + photo shoot | @malinalovesjesus

~ Songwriter development partnership | Co-wrote, sang + co-produced client’s 2nd agency single with @cobyjamesmusic for catalog | @bovi_kind_of_love 

All captured by my primary agency photographer, the brilliant @sara.gillespie. 

Also, a curated list of favorite Nashville experiences from this trip:

• @curryboysbbq — pulled pork nachos + Good Luck Cluck Curry Bowl = still drooling. Manager treated us like queens + gifted us Ube cheesecake. 10/10. 

• @holidaysalonandbathhouse — Finnish-inspired bathhouse, salon + spa. Rest + recovery after two long creative days. 10/10. 

• @puresweatnashville infrared sauna — health + wellness as we work. Doing this on repeat. 

• @frothymonkey 12 S — amazing breakfast, coffee + seating. 

• @buffaloexchange in Nash— some of the best thrifting. 

• @nokonashville — worth the hype. Every bite perfection, excellent mocktail menu. I’ll be back for the exact meal. 

Sacred moments — getting to know Clara, writing, meeting her family and the guinea pig—ending her photo shoot around their big dinner table, out in the country eating chicken thighs, sweet potatoes and salad. Tired and full of hope. Writing with Sara and Clara, a story song that felt like Jesus therapy, releasing a pain pocket I didn't know I had and being filled with joy, then writing another hysterical song that made us belly laugh. Pool days with Meg and Tiff. Kat's closet sale. Seeing my besting Steph and the fam in Nash. Breakfast with Summer and Sara — speaking into each other, laughing hard & sensing the divine synergy of heaven over eggs and sausage. 

A trip for the books.
