UPDATE MARCH 2008: How is everything going? I’m really bad at keeping in touch, but please know that I have been praying for you and am so proud to be a part of Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ! Yes! It’s so awesome to know that there are Christians in the industry that know that their work and beauty is purposed to glorify God. We are the Esthers and Davids of the world and as long we continue to put God first and use what He has given us externally to show the light that is in us
through Christ our work here will be fulfilled!
Anywho, seminary is awesome awesome AWESOME! I have gone into full-time ministry at an incredible church to 10,000 people! I am the Director/ Youth Minister of the R.I.P. the Runway Young Women’s Ministry and am now teaching 200 girls twice a month! It has been absolutely breathtaking to see how God has used my experiences in the industry to theme and run a ministry teaching teenage girls that they are God’s Couture and they can be fashion forward and “cool” and be a strong Christian young women…. all the while walking it out for His purposes! Words cannot express how incredible this journey has been.
Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me over the years. You and AMTC have played such a pivotal role in the woman that I have become and I will be forever grateful for you, your family, and the countless friendships and relationships I’ve made over the years. I am truly blessed to know such an incredible woman! You are a light in the world! :o)
I am finally attaching photos from my years in the business. Clearly some of them were before I turned to ministry, but I wanted to give them to you anyway. I actually will be in Pageantry Magazine sometime soon (I don’t even know) for a gown designer, and I am shooting a cosmetics campaign. :o) Little jobs here and there. I’m definitely not cool like everyone else anymore… but I’m thebomb.com in Jesusland. :o) Please let me know if I can do anything with you guys soon… you know I’ll be there!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
