So many things come to mind when you hear the words HOT MESS CHICK…

Some get the image of an out-of-control-lipstick-smeared-girl trying to get through the end of the party, others think of any photo from the archives of People of Walmart. Whatever comes to mind, that’s not the image I get…anymore.

HOT MESS CHICK, to me, is based on my muse (above photo). A 4 year old (at the time) little girl I nannied for. She was the youngest of 3 sisters and full of fire, afraid of nothing and confident beyond her years. She was, and still is a spitfire. Why would I call her a HOT MESS CHICK? Because she is! She’s got a mind of her own, wears 2 different socks with multicolored leggings and non-matching shirt, her hair is a complete nest, but you ask her about the Bible, what God has to say or to expand on a Scripture verse, she can preach until she’s told to stop. That to me is a HOT MESS CHICK. Someone who isn’t afraid to be who she was created to be and knows her LORD.

That’s why my blog is HOT MESS CHICK. It’s a place where I hope to “wear” whatever I like, have my hair a complete nest, but know that I am made in the image of the one who made me. I look like God, in all my messiness. We all do, we are ALL made in His image.

Look! We’re living in a society where EVERYTHING ends up online, (I see the irony in this statement) and in a seemingly “clean” sort of way. Everyone has the cleanest white house with the greenest plants and that’s awesome, but is it real life? Maybe for them but not for me. I have a messy house, from time to time. I don’t want to get out of my PJ’s some days and others it’s all I can do to get out of bed. But I’m living my real life and this is what I want this HOT MESS CHICK blog to be about.

A HOT MESS CHICK doing HOT MESS life.

Not all posts are going to be all about me, but they will be about things close to my heart, close to what I hear God saying, and close to a series of other things – travel, family, food, people I meet, food, anything really.
