You Are Valuable

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. (Exodus 14:14)

Do you ever wonder if there’s more? Have you ever felt ashamed, unworthy, or insignificant? Have you ever felt alone? You, my dear one, are in great company, as many of us have faced these very same questions. In fact, that is the very heart behind the book You Are Priceless. I invited twenty-one women to join me in an effort to bring the message of the Gospel to women in the Sex Traffic Industry. We express how God has taken our moments of insignificance, shame, feelings of unworthiness, and brokenness to express some of His most beautiful work! He truly does bring beauty from the ashes and we are living proof of just that! Read more

One Faith Step at a Time

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. (Hebrews 11:1, TLB)

This could be my theme verse for The Priceless Journey. I often say to people that God has only given me enough light to take the very next step. He hasn’t revealed too much in the future. It’s been one faith step at a time and as I take that step in complete obedience, slowly He reveals the next step. It’s been His perfect timing and for that I’m grateful. But in my flesh I would love to see the rest of this journey more clearly. Read more

You Are Priceless Tampa

God told them, “I’ve never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!” (Jeremiah 31:3, MSG)

The message of God’s love is the one we hope to bring to the whole Tampa Bay Area as we introduce the You Are Priceless book to women all over our city. This book was custom designed for women who are currently in the Commercial Sex Industry, as well as for those who have been victims of human trafficking. Tune in to hear the hearts of Joyce Kelly (Founder of I Am Freedom Girl and contributor to the book), Angie Rodriguez (Former dancer in the clubs who experienced freedom in Christ and one of our contributors), and myself (visionary of You Are Priceless book). Thank you Brandee Nielsen-Smith of Christian Coffee Talk for women for having us on the show! It was a true delight to share our hearts desire and hopefully encourage others to get on board with The Priceless Journey.

Lord, please continue to do the work that only You can do. Please open the doors for us to share the message of redemption and hope with women who have yet to understand their value in Christ. And please increase our sensitivity to Your leading so that we only go where You lead us to go in this!

On The Priceless Journey,

The Priceless Journey

But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes near to God must [necessarily believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6, AMPC)

When I say it’s been a journey, I mean it! Wow! Two years ago, God put it on my heart to custom design a book for the sex traffic industry. I remember thinking, really? Me? I don’t know much about this. I’ve never been in the clubs. I have such a limited scope on this subject. Yet, God wanted to use me. Isn’t that how it works? Read more
