All my life, I’ve been performing—
learning the right lines to say, the perfect moves to make, trying to create a flawless production.
But behind the curtains, there have been malfunctions: moments of self-doubt, missed cues, and more times than I’d like to admit when I was running late.

People have always seen the finished product of God’s greatness in me, but rarely the depth of the process. I didn’t hear many “Are you okay?” or “Do you need anything?” Instead, I was expected to show up and show out, no matter the circumstances. Giving up was never an option. I was imprisoned by the need for approval—until I surrendered my life to Christ.

I started this blog in my late 20s, when I was still figuring out who I was. Now, a decade later, I’m adding the other side to the story—the lessons, the growth, and the truth that comes with time and perspective.

This blog is about revealing the real work of becoming a fearfully and wonderfully made individual. There will be moments of joy and peace, but also selfishness, anger, love, laughter, insecurity, loneliness, and strength. My prayer is that my transparency will inspire you and bring comfort in knowing: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Late to Rehearsal is for those who hide behind achievements, afraid to fail. You’re not perfect—and that’s perfect. “He makes all things new.” —II Corinthians 5:17
