I’m not sure if you know this, but back in 2010 when I lived in New York I started a blog about my life as a struggling artist, searching for myself amidst the chaos and confusion the city had me enveloped in. I was walking dogs, auditioning, and finding moments in between to sit my butt down in a Starbucks so I could blog about my daily activities. Here I am now, 13 years later, and never did I expect that my journey would find me here.
Since graduating from NYU, I moved my life to Los Angeles, became an executive assistant for some of Hollywood’s top industry professionals, recorded a lineup of original music, performed at the most popular venues in LA, and went through a rough patch in my life where relationships were lost… including the loss of the former me.
The most rewarding experience I give thanks for has been my recovery journey, and finding my best friend, Jesus Christ. After struggling with addiction and eating disorders for years while living in Los Angeles I moved back to Minnesota, entered into a recovery program, progressed in my faith while attending church, only to find myself in the most beautiful place my life could ever go.
I am now a Worship and Youth leader for Hosanna Church in the Twin Cities, MN. The Lord lead me to them. They are my brothers and sisters, the ones who believed in me when I had little faith in myself, the ones who supported me and had faith that I would stay on the path the Lord has called me to. And now, the Lord is calling me to Israel, where a small group of leaders will go to study the life of Jesus Christ.
It is through the love of God, power of prayer, and your generous contributions that this trip has been fully funded. Thank you and HALLELUJAH!
My reason for this post is to ask you to join me on my international, soul searching adventure. The Lord is everywhere, and to have the opportunity to travel where His blessed feet once walked, where His perfect hands healed… I feel beyond blessed. I am running in the direction of my soul’s desire, and my heart desires Our Father and all His goodness.
Come with me and see for yourself the beauty, the miracles, the living hope.
Peace & Love,
Honey
