I’m elated to share that I am officially a published author! At the beginning of the year, my mom and I decided to start the process of writing a children’s book dedicated to the life of my little sister, Johannah.

I first noticed my depression while I was employed as an administrative assistant at a mega church. I remember feeling so much shame for being depressed thinking that because I had a good life, a good family, and was working the job that I had prayed for, I wasn’t allowed to have these feelings.

A few weeks ago, I was Jairus, seeking God to urgently answer my prayers. Fetching him and bringing Him to my place of need so he could perform His wonders right before my eyes. And then, a sick woman stumbled onto our path and distracted Jesus from my need with nothing but a simple a touch.
