Verse of the Week:

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” – Isaiah 26:3, ESV

Drink your coffee in a wine glass, they said. It'll be classy.

At this point in my life, I didn't expect to have blue hair or be single. I certainly didn't expect to be starting a nonprofit or working at a high school. . . I definitely never thought I'd have to use a wheelchair again. For years, I've told everyone how good God was for allowing me to be fully ambulatory. . . And then, my ability to walk started declining. I had to ask myself if God was still good. . . Yes! He's so freaking good! My walking may be limited but doing my seating evaluation for my new chair today was so liberating! The tech laughed while I zipped through the building with the BIGGEST smile on my face. . . And yes, my wheelchair will have glitter on it. Obviously.

I may never be able to keep my eyes open for a picture but I make awesome things when my heart hurts. Don't we all?

Hello, my name is Emily and I struggle with codependency. I used to think an advocate couldn't be in a codependent relationship. It can happen to anyone. For the sake of your mental health, walk away from those relationships. Whatever you lose in the process can't compare to the goodness God has for you on the other side.

Life is hard. Like really hard. In the last 72 hours, I lost my home, I had to find a new home for my dog and I got physically hurt. I'll be honest - I was angry. I had sacrificed so much for my business and it felt like the odds were stacked against me. But still God. Still friends who jumped in the hole with me Tuesday night and pulled me out. Still laughter and food that others bought me. Still couches to sleep on and coffee to drink. I'm sitting here in a clinic, waiting for the results for the TB test I had to get for my sweet new job and the only thing I'm thinking is, "Not today Satan" I may have been pressed but I'm not crushed. The hustle for my business is real. I'm not going anywhere. It's too important. #mentalhealth #recovery #girlswhorock #smallbusiness #hustle #phoenix #liveyourdreams #trustyourgut #disability #fashion #artsy

In 2013, I had the opportunity to intern for my hero: Joni Eareckson Tada . . What blows my mind the most about her story is how she started Joni and Friends. . . -She was 24. -College hadn't worked out. -She had never held a professional job before. . . She just loved Jesus and people with disabilities and saw a need in the church. In total humility, she surrendered the desire to have all qualifications before she followed the call God had placed on her life. God would and had qualified her. . . I hope to be that kind of brave. . . #disability #mentalhealth #faith #faithoverfear #joy #joni #hero #godisgood #movingforward
