Several years ago, my lovely sister Melissa (aka: Angel Princess) got a tattoo in Arabic that says, “the only way out is through.”  Most of our family’s ethnicity is rooted in the Syrian and Lebanese cultures, so I thought the tattoo was really awesome.  But…

• Throwback to the MeCAHT Conference + the Men’s Treasure Team: When Football & Jesus gave me four new brothers. . I love how sport can bring people together. We come from different nations, bearing different wounds and struggles and stories - but on the football pitch, we’re family. We are equals. . These men are overcomers, a team of treasures fighting to break free (and stay free) from the exploitative circumstances that once held them captive. Keep these mighty men in prayer, because as they find opportunity for freedom and healing... so do many others. . To find out how to support them and their football team, contact @mecahtsa. . #wecleanupnice #myteamwon #nohardfeelings #freedomkick
On November 30, 2017 (after 3 years of emailing from 7,000 miles away) we hugged on Ft. Lauderdale beach for the first time - and my life hasn’t been the same since. . Cali, you have taught me more about grace, hope, faith, courage, and unconditional love than anyone else on this planet. You have shown me how to forgive and how to be mindful, you have shown me how to take risks and how to surrender, and you have shown me how to fight the good fight and never give up. . When I experience all that you are - I experience Jesus, and it’s pretty amazing. Yes, we have our (really) rough days, and yes - sometimes you make me want to throw my phone to the lions in the African bush, but I wouldn’t trade knowing you for anything. You are a princess, you are a warrior, and you are a daughter of the King. Your value is unmatched, you are accepted here, and my girl, now you forever have a family. . Thank you for letting me walk this road with you, thank you for trusting me against all odds, and thank you for giving me the privilege of calling you “sister.” I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father thought it was a brilliant idea to hand-make you and put you on this earth. . I love you, @princesswarrior2018. Happy Birthday. . (*save a piece of cake for me.) #sappybirthdaypost
• When my girl Cali’s birthday is coming up and she says she loves pandas - you draw her a fluffy panda. . [swipe for 🐼 sketch pic] .
