July 2013 – In Reckless Pursuit

Got Questions? I’ve Got Answers.

July 30, 2013

One year ago, NightLight Branson was born. During that year, I have been asked a ton of questions. There are always four questions that I am consistently asked. I thought it might be easier to go ahead and answer these questions on here. I will start with the least important and move on to the only one that really matters.1: How old are you? 26, and yes I am already aware I look 14.2: What does your husband think about your job? Is he concerned? I do not have a husband/boyfriend/or love life. So no. He does[...]

Worth the Cost

July 20, 2013

Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, op[...]

In the crazy journey of the last year, one question I get asked pretty frequently is "Why NightLight?" First, let me tell you a bit about NightLight and my job. NightLight is an international organization that addresses the complex issue of sexual exploitation through prevention, intervention, restoration, and education. I am the director of our Branson location. Yes, things like trafficking and prostitution exist in the Branson area. There will be a post about that later. So why NightLight? There are a ton o[...]

My truth about starting NightLight Branson

July 6, 2013

Hello, Friends! It has obviously been awhile since I have posted anything, and there are lots of good reasons for that. Really just one. NightLight. A year ago, NightLight International decided that they wanted to launch a new location in Branson, Mo. Even more crazy than that, they decided that they wanted me to launch the location. NightLight addresses the issue of sexual exploitation through prevention, intervention, restoration, and education. You can find out more about NightLight here. What is true is[...]
