I’m glad you’re here.
I’ve always loved when truth becomes clear—
not just understood in theory, but felt and lived.
For years, I wrestled with questions I now hear from others:
What does it really mean to be saved?
Why does sin matter, and what did Jesus really do?
Why does God sometimes feel distant, or hard to hear?
I realized many people aren’t far from understanding God’s truth—they’re often just one explanation or honest conversation away.
So I brought those questions to God and kept seeking Him.
I didn’t just find answers—I found Him, far more than I expected.
Here’s a piece of my story. I pray it encourages you to keep letting God write yours.
The Journey
2011+ | Wait, God actually speaks back?!
I met my husband in high school, and at 15 he asked me if I knew for certain I was going to Heaven. It was my first time realizing that God’s Word held real answers to important questions and that He could actually speak and guide me.
That one conversation changed everything.
It stirred me to move from passive prayers to praying with expectancy, trusting He would reveal more of Himself. And He did.
After we married in 2017, we began building our life together. We started a business and welcomed our three fun-loving boys along the way.
2014 | From Secondhand Faith to a Faith That Was Mine
In 2014, moving away to college forced me to face what I truly believed about God. Was I really placing my life and eternity in His hands, or was my trust still secondhand from my parents rather than genuinely my own?
That summer, I began writing what would become my first attempt at a book. I wasn’t sure what I was doing, but I felt a strong need to share the hope God was growing in me. I began sharing those early writings on Instagram (@ourgodinspires).
By 2015, the inward transformation God was doing in me led to an outward declaration. I was baptized at UC Berkeley, publicly surrendering my life to God and committing to follow Him.
2016+ | A Calling That Became Clear
After my baptism, I committed my life to whatever God called me to do and stepped into a role as a middle school religion teacher.
I felt both called and unqualified, but I’ll never forget the day God spoke to me through Jeremiah 1:4–12, reminding me not to be afraid and that He would give me the words to say.
Over time, I saw students asking the same questions I once had: How can I hear God’s voice? If God is good, why does He allow suffering? As I searched God’s Word and taught those truths, I witnessed real transformation in my students—confusion turned into clarity, doubt into confidence, and apathy into hope.
This is where the need for the book became clear.
I could only teach these truths to a handful of students in a classroom, but writing them down meant they could reach far beyond it.
2019+ | Learning God’s Timing
After stepping away from teaching for a season to pursue writing, I threw myself into the book, organizing years of notes and mapping out ideas to bring everything together. At the time, I believed I was walking in God’s timing.
I tried to finish it quickly, but it wasn’t coming together the way I expected, and it was frustrating.
Looking back, I can see I was still growing in discernment and didn’t yet realize how many more experiences God would use to shape the message.
When COVID began, I hosted weekly Zoom Bible studies and saw that adults were asking the same foundational questions as my students. This confirmed that the message needed to be written clearly and shared…just not yet!
2021 | “Old Manna” and Starting Again
During this time, I compiled over 250 pages of notes into a large binder I called “The Things of God,” inspired by 1 Corinthians 2:9–10. I spent a year trying to organize it into something clear and accessible for new believers. Looking back, I can see I was trying to force it—writing ahead of what I had fully lived and understood.
In 2021, after seeking direction, I felt led to reach out to a Christian writing coach. When I showed her the binder, she gently confirmed what I already sensed God was showing me—that it was time to let it go. She called it “old manna.” It had served its purpose for that season, but it was not what the book was meant to be.
She encouraged me to trust that everything God had already taught me—the experiences, study, and understanding He had built over the years—was still in me and would come back to mind when needed, and that nothing would be wasted…something I already knew deep down, but was afraid to have confirmed.
So in 2021, I let it go and started again.
2022 | Back to Basics
I went back to the drawing board. This time, instead of forcing it, I slowed down and followed God’s pace—giving more space to prayer, conversation, and mapping alongside writing. I used sticky notes, wall layouts, and floor spreads to organize ideas, themes, and biblical concepts.
There was more clarity, more done in short, focused stretches, and even lots of space to rest and reflect, instead of long, draining days filled with words on a page that lacked direction and left me feeling unsure.
I always knew God’s way and timing was more effective, but now I was actually experiencing it in real time(which was funny, because it was exactly what I had been writing about—how head knowledge about God can become real experience with Him, deepening our connection in ways we don’t expect).
2023+ | Refined in Real Life
I began rewriting from scratch, not in long uninterrupted workdays, but in small pockets of time as a stay-at-home mom. Sometimes it was just 20 minutes late at night after putting a baby down. Other times, as much as I tried, writing didn’t look like writing. It was rehearsing my thoughts, praying through what story, interview, or truth God wanted me to focus on.
Those moments often happened in a quick shower or in between feeding kids, because sitting down to type or write would quickly be interrupted by a child yanking my pen or keyboard away.
My “office” was my home. Notes were spread across tables, couches, and poster boards, and many days I typed with one hand while holding a baby. I learned to build this message slowly, right in the middle of the season I was in.
During this time, I walked through deep emotional and spiritual stretching, including seasons of depression, self-doubt, and what felt like spiritual warfare. It forced me to rely on God’s Word, not just understand it.
There were moments I questioned whether I could finish, but I also realized I couldn’t be the only one asking these questions. That became part of the message itself.
July 2025 | New Life and New Beginnings
The day before going into labor with my third son, I finished writing the final chapter of my second book, titled Abundant Life.
Just hours before giving birth, I joined one last Zoom call from my hospital bed in a gown, where I met and chose the editor who would help bring this message to completion.
This moment felt like a sacred overlap of new life and a finished assignment.
I thought I was finally done, especially after finishing a chapter titled Abundant Life, but I was really just entering the next phase. The editing process would go on to take another nine months!
Ongoing | God is Still Writing
God is eternal, so knowing Him, becoming more like Him, and enjoying Him more fully is a lifelong journey. We don’t fully arrive on this side of eternity.
While these books are complete and will be released in 2026, God is still writing my story. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m committed to sharing what I’ve seen about God and His goodness to be true—what I’ve experienced, trusted, and continue to walk out with Him.
As He continues to write my story, I pray it helps you in yours. And as He writes yours, I pray it reaches those around you as well.
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 1:6
