This week is a really exciting week because, in a matter of days, I’m going to be releasing my brand new devotional - For My Single Friend: A 30-Day Devotional! I’ve been working on this devotional for SO LONG, and I’m so excited to finally release it. But if I’m being honest, I haven’t always felt so excited about this book.

A lot of us would like to say we’d follow God’s lead at the drop of a hat. But in reality, a lot of us have avoided (or are currently avoiding) God’s call on our lives for fear of the unknown.
Read MoreIf I’m being honest, fear of rejection and fear of failure have always been two of my greatest fears. They’re often hiding behind the excuses I make for hesitating to take a leap of faith. Fear-filled questions swarm my mind, trying to convince me not to go after something that might seem risky, even if I feel like that something is what the Lord is pointing me towards.
