I talk about my senior year in NJROTC — 60 cadets under me, boot camp at 3 AM, running five miles in the rain, learning discipline the hard way. I talk about walking into a room of teenage boys’ mess and realizing the real unboxing wasn’t about their socks on the floor — it was about my own stinking thinking, my own bad attitudes, needing to get low and get on my knees before God instead of running out the door with my to-do list first.

We land on Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV): “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” I unpack that a little — the Greek word for “boldly” there is parrhēsia (Strong’s G3954), which carries the sense of freedom of speech, confidence, even bluntness. We don’t tiptoe up to God’s throne. We’re invited to come right on up, no shame, no hiding.

It’s messy, it’s joyful, it’s real talk about motherhood, selfishness, and finding joy in the sticky middle instead of waiting for the breakthrough. And I close it out with the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6:24–26 over you.

Also — sneak peek — Book 2 has 10 chapters shelved and a couple more that came straight out of this beach trip.

But before we get to Chapter 17, I need to slow down and talk about what happened in the space between the love story and the babies — because it wasn’t all angels singing and wedding bells. It was also temptation, a secret I was carrying into church every Sunday, a funky attitude, wild emotions, and a pregnancy test on a Tuesday that explained and Glitterally changed everything.

I talk about purity in this episode — not from a high horse, because honey, I fell off that horse. I talk about it from the mud. From the place of someone who knew better, wanted better, and still chose wrong. And I talk about what God did with all of it anyway.

If you’ve ever sinned and thought you were too far gone to come back to purity — this one’s for you. If you’ve ever been sitting in church carrying a secret — this one’s for you. And if your contractions have ever been literally off the charts — same, girl. Same.

Oh, and 1 John 5:14-15 hits different when you’re learning to pray according to His will instead of your own panic.

Chapter 17 is here. Let’s go.

Some of the best moments with God don’t happen in a church pew or a quiet time journal. Sometimes they happen at 50 years old, driving home in the dark, belching on the microphone, singing the wrong words to the right song, and just being with Him.

This episode? I didn’t plan it. I just hit record.

No script. No outline. Just me, my car, and a God who has never once told me I was too much. Never said quiet down, dull your shine, I’ve had enough of you, girl. Never. Not once. And honey, that alone is worth pulling over for.

But then I started talking about what He’s actually done — and I couldn’t stop. Bipolar disorder. Paralyzation. A shattered disc removed at 14. Twenty-two years of back pain — gone. Shoulders that couldn’t lift a coffee cup — healed. Eleven times the enemy tried to take me out. Eleven.

And I’m still here. Driving home. Singing off-key. Praising Jesus in the driveway.

If you need a miracle — for your body, your mind, your relationships — this one’s for you. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He is still in the healing business.

Come ride with me.
