I didn’t set out to write a book. I was just listening to the news, stocking my pantry, cooking beans, and ugly-crying in my kitchen after a rough day at work—sounding like Scuttle from The Little Mermaid wailing “I want moreeee” to William McDowell’s Stay. If you know, you know.

A few hours later, my mentor Tiph challenged our class to write a book. I felt that Holy Spirit nudge, the quiet kind that hits like a freight train. So I said yes. And boom, we’re here.

Obedience has a wild way of turning into overflow. What started as voice notes on my phone turned into Beans, Baby, Beans, a full-on survival guide for the anxiously-single, Holy Spirit-led woman who’s just trying to make it through dinner without spiraling.

The LORD is so kind. I’m not perfect, obvi. But I’m obedient when the LORD speaks, and that was enough to get the words flowing.

I hope you encounter the matchless love of GOD throughout this book.
