How 9/11 Traumatized Me: Fighting Fear + Anxiety

How 9/11 Traumatized Me: Fighting Fear + Anxiety

9/11/01: Little 4th grade Gabby in elementary school … RUNNING down to my mom’s classroom in fear … witnessing suicide for the first time EVER on the news (“the jumpers”) … seeing the smoke in the distance …  watching all of my loved ones terrified. It’s etched in my memory. It bombards my thoughts at least once a month. I will never, and CAN NEVER forget.

It had an impact on all of us –…

"He Was Our Jesus..."

“He Was Our Jesus…”

The life and legacy of Ermias Joseph Asghedom. Wow..

Since hearing the news of his assassination last Sunday, I’ve been in a daze. I know everybody worldwide feels the heaviness of this loss, but to be in LA when it happened? It’s a different type of heaviness that I don’t think will pass any time soon. The City of Angels is truly hurting…

Striving for WHOLENESS: Spirit, Soul and Body

Striving for WHOLENESS: Spirit, Soul and Body

If you’ve been following my journey thus far via social media, YouTubeor my blog, you know I’ve been a bit out of the game for the past 2 years. My injuries have come to a point where I can’t do much physical activity. For somebody who has been physical and training since 4 years old, being bound from activity is STRESSFUL.

Uncomfortable Obedience - Let's Keep It Real

Uncomfortable Obedience – Let’s Keep It Real

As some of you may know, my husband and I were called out to Los Angeles right after we got married. A week after our wedding, we flew out to Burbank in obedience to God and left what was similar and comfortable behind us. While God has proven to us DAILY that this is His will (check out our Move On Faith 4-part-series on YouTube ) – it has still been so bitter being away from NYC.

I love Jesus, but can't stand church

I love Jesus, but can’t stand church

DISCLAIMER: This post is not about ALL churches, but a huge handful…

2017 is a year of transparency for me. This topic has been so prevalent in my heart and mind lately and I’ve felt the urge to share it. Not only cause I think it needs to be talked about, but also because I know for a fact that I’m not the only one who feels like this.
