Welcome, I’m Nicole
Somehow my life, that started as a no one from the beginning of nowhere, has turned into a crazy adventure as a nomad (or better yet an ivri) living between hicks, hoodlums, and highrises. An adventure that has spanned 30+ countries, all 7 continents, and a whole host of fellow travelers who’ve journeyed with me along the way. Unbeknownst to me, taking a few simple steps of faith has resulted in a commute to work often involving a plane, I now call former gang leaders family, and am regularly reminded that one of the greatest blessings of my life was to being raised poor in the country and the skills and values that came with it.
That said, some stories need to be told and hard-won revelations are meant to be shared. I started this blog to do just that. My hope is that you will journey on the adventures with me, gain from my discoveries…without the hard-won part, and be emboldened in your own walk of faith.

In that facing, we discover our greatest peril is often our own limitations, our ignorance, our weaknesses as they are revealed to us. But when we journey by faith, God intervenes where natural abilities fail. This is a story of one…
