What would you ask the stars of TFIOS?

So I got an email last week inviting me to the Fan Event for The Fault In Our Stars, the movie based on the book by John Green. I thought, “that is so cool! I can’t believe I get to sit in the audience and have a ticket reserved for me.” And then the PR

Wanna come hang out?

Sometimes I just wish you could come over. Maybe I’m a lunatic, but when I type on this side of the screen, it often feels like I’m writing a letter to a friend. I think about you and think about what I want you to know and the funny stories I want to tell you

30 days.

I don’t know why I can’t get this idea out of my head. What if you KNEW God was going to answer your deepest heart’s prayer in 30 days? Like, the clock is ticking and you’ve got 30 days until He does the thing you’ve always wanted Him to do. What would that mean for

New Headshots: It Takes A Village

As these collection of pictures make their way around the internet and magazines and et cetera over the next few

Tuebook Tuesday Part Tue

PCOS Update: After you jumpstart….

Two weeks ago, I spoke at an event where, in passing, I mentioned that I have PCOS. Mainly, I was lamenting that pizza is just a memory in my life. Whah whah. To most people, the acronym PCOS doesn’t even stick in their minds. But for girls who have struggled – with infertility, weight issues,

I’m having all the fun right now on the internet.

I just need you to know this. Here’s why. Talk about God opening a HUGE door! Amazon picked Speak Love (a TEEN CHRISTIAN book!) to be their Kindle Daily Deal. Yes, everyone at Zondervan freeeeeeaked out. Because y’all! What is God up to that He has made a way for this book about the power
