My daily dose of sunshine. This dog has the most incredible way of making everyone in her presence feel important and loved.

My 15-year-old niece @addisonbakesco and I loved interviewing the lovely @annewilsonmusic, a 20-year-old popular singer/songwriter whose powerful song, “My Jesus,” reached number 1 on the Billboard charts joins us to share her journey of enduring and worshipping through grief after the loss of her 23-year-old brother at the age of 15. Losing friends and family members we love and care deeply about is an inescapable part of this life and can be earth-shattering.

Anne shares how worship helped her to endure the loss of her brother and led to an unexpected music career. She offers encouragement and empathy for anyone walking through grief and missing their loved ones.

I love the part where Addison asked her about some of the lies young women believe.

It’s been said the most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

These words are how I would sum up Psalm 139:14 and the reason I wrote “Wonderfully Made: Discover the Identity, Love, and Worth You Were Created For.”

“I praise you because I am fearfully [lovingly] and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

It begins with a choice that requires faith - you either believe you have been wonderfully created on purpose for a purpose or that you wonderfully evolved by the result random cosmic collisions (or another theory of your choice). To me it takes more faith to believe I randomly came into existence. I explore the compelling case for a Creator in my first and most foundational chapter “Made by God.”

I believe finding your purpose in life begins with a single truth: you have been wonderfully made.

Of course we are all entitled to own beliefs and I’m sharing mine because by believing this I have discovered my true identity, value and purpose and my life has never been the same.

What do you believe?

It’s been fun slowly making our little house fee

It’s been fun slowly making our little house feel more like a home corner by corner, room by room. We don’t take these walls and roof for granted. California is beautiful and crazy all in one and it’s not easy for so many to make a life here. I hope that can change in the future, but for now we’re California kids through and through and we’re grateful for our family, friends, sunshine and the outdoor playgrounds CA offers.

We evacuated due to a fire last year and it was a reminder to hold things of this world loosely and store our true treasures above.
