My name is Nicole.
Saved solely by grace through faith 110% and there isn’t a day that goes by that I am not thankful for every single heartbeat <3
My story of coming to faith is one of those extraordinary ones… Trust me, I have zero bragging rights here at all as it was an incredibly lonnnnnng road to get to this point in my life, and I wouldn’t ever wish any of those struggles on anyone in a million years.
Let’s just say, I was lost. Actually, I was completely lost and didn’t step foot into a church on my own until I was 23 years old, and I still can’t fully explain nor understand the shift of my heart that unexpectedly made my feet move. I guess most people would simply call that Love – An undeniable and unexplainable change of heart – That feeling of knowing YOU are LOVED beyond anything you could or couldn’t do. It was more than the building, the religion, and the music. It was beyond all the heartache-pain-alcohol/drug addiction-restless nights-fear-anger-hurt. That shift I believe was Jesus, allowing my heart to awaken.
1 John 4:19 ‘We love because He first loved us.’
I signed up to follow Jesus. To Let Go, and Let God … and He has faithfully rocked my entire world. I am not perfect, I am human.
‘BUT GOD, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ…’ -Ephesians 2:4-5
Most people would say I am a Creative. I am seriously energetic, fun-loving, an extremist to the core, and view spontaneity as a hobby. I am a passionate woman who is marked by her influence and boldness; however, don’t let the tough exterior fool you – I’m not afraid to cry: whether it’s a compelling story, romantic movie, mid-prayer, or I’m just plain happy.
I’m a feeler whose loudly transparent 🙂
And, I pretty much wouldn’t exist without these two people… Whom I love to the moon & back!
p.s. I’m a total daddy’s girl to the tee.
And this good-looking gentleman is my lil brother, Tommy. We are 10 months apart… YES, my parents REALLLLLLLY do love each other.

Therefore, I desire to inspire you that anyone, regardless of their point in life, is capable of making a change and a difference.
You have a voice.
Speak In LOVE.
You have been BLESSED to be a BLESSING.
One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was to start. To just start, and God will do what He’s called you to do.
For me, That is to ‘GO.’
To set aside comfort and leap into the unknown. To remove myself from my desires and pursue the call He laid on my life. To follow Him.
Jesus simply just taps some of us on the shoulder and calls us to belong to people of a different culture so that we can be good news to them. So that we can love them.
