God, Cocoa, and Chaos: The Real Writing Process

The truth about writing books with Jesus...

It’s not always peaceful candlelight, classical music, and poetic words flowing from my fingertips. Sometimes, it’s me staring at a blinking cursor while praying, “Lord, you sure this is what I’m called to do?”

My process is messy. It’s voice notes at red lights, half-written ideas in grocery lists, and chapters born out of midnight prayers. But every time I want to give up, God meets me in the chaos. He reminds me this is more than writing—it's ministry.

In between cocoa runs and plot twists, I’ve learned this: God doesn’t call the most qualified. He calls the willing. AND HE QUALIFIES THEM.

This blog will take you behind the scenes—into the heart of my creative mess. My journey of writing books that carry the fingerprints of faith. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll help you trust your own process, even when it’s a little wild or VERY inconvenient.

Because when God’s in the story?
The ending is always worth it.

Walking Into God's Wild, Beautiful Plans

✨ For the sons and daughters of the King who secretly wish God would just send a PDF with step-by-step instructions. ✨ When God Calls, It’s Usually Wild. Sometimes the call is loud — a full-blown spiritual siren. Other times, it sneaks in during the soft, sleepy morning hours when your phone is still on Do Not Disturb and the only sound is your kettle clicking off. But whether it’s chaos or calm, the message is the same: "Child, I’ve set you apart. Now let’s go do something eternal." He might ask you to build something no one’s ever done before — like Noah, hammering away at a boat in the middle of nowhere while people walked past like, “Okay but… is he okay??” Or maybe you’ll be called to free people. Not with plagues (please no), but with words, encouragement, truth — like Moses, whose voice shook empires because God stood with him. Maybe your moment is Esther’s: quiet bravery wrapped in royal robes. Or Peter’s: loud, impulsive, and still trusted to help launch the actual C...

Boarding Pass to Grace

I remember the exact moment I realized my writing journey wasn’t just about chasing dreams or hammering out clever sentences on a keyboard. It was a full-on divine flight plan — a God-ordained trip into the unknown where He was the Captain, and I was strapped in for a flight I could never have booked myself. If you’ve ever held a boarding pass, you know the thrill of anticipation mixed with nerves. The gate might change. The weather might turn stormy. And the announcements over the loudspeaker? Sometimes crystal clear. Sometimes, you’re left wondering what language they’re speaking. That’s exactly how it feels when you say yes to writing with God in the co-pilot seat. The Keyboard Is My Boarding Pass Every time I open my laptop, it feels like clutching a boarding pass to an unknown destination. The cursor blinks at me like a little runway light, daring me to take off. But the thing is — I’m not always sure where this flight is headed. Sometimes the destination is a manuscript, someti...
