Meet Erin

Hi, I’m Erin. And like you, maybe, I’m on a road I never would have imagined. My dreams took a detour and then, thankfully, God took the wheel. Eternally obsessed with things that sparkle, I dreamed as a girl that I would be on the stage, in the limelight, living a life bigger than myself. (I hadn’t found that whole humility thing yet!) Throughout my teenage and college years, I pursued theatre and acting, until I realized I wasn’t cut out to live a life of such uncertainty. So I turned instead to writing. (Yes, the joke is on me. Do you know how many people want to be writers? About as many as would-be-actors!) Somewhere in the midst of all my dream chasing, I fell in love with the man who would change the trajectory of everything. We did the whole marriage thing, had a baby, and then tragedy struck.

When our son nearly died at four and a half months old, all those old dreams took a nosedive into the abyss of the brokenhearted, and we struggled to make sense of anything. But in that dark place, we sought the face of God and He showed up in a big way. As it turns out, if you believe, you will see the glory of God (John 11:40). Those young dreams took a detour, but God has shown me that those phases, perceived failures, and even tragedy have been fateful encounters with my purpose – and boy have they humbled me. And here is where it comes full circle, and I’m thankful that God took the wheel when He did.

“Now, in this crazy world of hashtags and broken people, I get to share my journey of redemption and hope with you. No matter where you come from, your background, or how you’ve been broken, I can’t wait to share with you how YOU’VE been created to shine.”

Here’s a quick guide on how to navigate my website. Thank you for stopping by and for reading along.

If you want the church to change, go and be the church

When was the last time you were involved in a heated discussion about the church? Maybe it was about your home church and something that drives you crazy. Or maybe some “crazy Christian” made a comment that offended you and a discussion ensued about how “the church” is a hot mess. I’ve witnessed and been…

Waiting on the Promise

Have you ever felt as though God has given you a promise? I’m talking about a whisper in your spirit, a prophecy, or a vision so incredible and fleeting you think surely you’ve been drinking too many lattes. I have.
