Welcome to my blog! It's a place of heart, humor, & hope. Like if we sat across from each other at a coffee shop and became friends. As you read these words, I promise to be real with you. I don't have all the answers, and it gets a little random over here at times, but I'd love to share this journey with you.

Sometimes I like to sit and admire a beautiful painting. And the coolest, most humbling part? I know the Artist.

Good book + warm sun + view of the deep blue = very happy Saturday.* . . * +sunscreen (added that one for you, Mom)

Here’s the story: Yesterday, @erin_pitts came by my office so we could go to Cow Appreciation Day together. I quickly put on a gray t-shirt, and while Erin drove to Chick-fil-a, I stuck tape on some white spots she’d cut out. We slapped them on each other when we got there, then headed toward the free chicken. EXCEPT PLOT TWIST: All of our spots blew off as we walked. So if you saw two twenty-somethings chasing little papers all over the parking lot (most of the good people of Wake Forest were treated to this show)...that was us. Finally, we stepped inside, clutching our spots in our hands. We slapped them back on, ordered our food, then enjoyed another round of Chase The Spots in the parking lot. By the time we sat down to eat, we had spots in our bags of food and in her car and in our pockets and basically everywhere but on our actual selves. So lest you look at this photo and think we took the easy way with a couple pieces of printer paper and some double-sided Scotch tape, let the record show we put in a ton of effort for our free chicken. P.S. We put the spots back on so we could have a picture in our fancy costumes. #doitforthegram Bonus P.S. Erin and I have so many good times.

A girl running from her past. A quirky Southern town. And a summer that could change everything. . Hop over to Amazon, B&N, or iTunes to get your copy in print or ebook! It’s got sweet tea, sunsets, snark, and Southern boys...everything you need in a beach read ;) . #YAlit #amreading #AllofThisBook

“O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

I took one picture all weekend...and it was of my cat hiding under my bed. But then Ellen snapped this selfie of us so I’d have something besides Oliver’s paws sticking out of the dust ruffle. . Last time I was home, Ellen looked at me and said, “Thank you for coming home to spend time with me.” And I quickly replied: “I’d drive forever to see you.” . Here’s the thing: I want her to remember all the times we hang out and all the times I sneak her coffee. I want her to always want to spend time with her slightly-less-than-cool oldest sister. But more than that, I want her to remember why I don’t live where she does. I want her to see her big sister following Jesus with everything she’s got, even when it’s difficult. I want her to know Jesus is always the best choice, and He has a loving purpose behind every step He calls us to take. . And I want her to trust Him with each step as she grows up, knowing He has an amazing purpose for her life, too.

On the outside, it’s just a paper box from Staples. But inside? The first printed version of my manuscript. I’ve got a new set of pens, and I’m ready for some serious editing. You experienced an unforgettable summer with Sadie Franklin in #AllofThisBook, but her story is just getting started. Stay tuned. #SadiesSequel

“Does a wife mirror the Good News of Christ in a better, more complete way than I do because I’m single? Am I incomplete as a witness because I have a cat instead of a husband?” . Honored to have my article featured on Intersect this week! As always, I get really honest and also mention cats. It’s my brand. . The link is in my bio if you want to check it out! . http://intersectproject.org/faith-and-culture/4-ways-to-integrate-singles-in-the-local-church/ . @sebts

“Because He bends down to listen, I will pray to Him as long as I have breath.” - Psalm 116:2
