Hi, I'm Michelle

For years, I was just the voice behind Daily Dose Devotional. Anonymous. Safe. Hidden.

That's how I liked it.

You see, I'm an introvert who would rather write than speak, rather serve than be seen, rather point to God than talk about myself.

But God has a sense of humor about our comfort zones.

The Calling

My story isn't dramatic by the world's standards. No radical conversion moment. No heaven-opening experience. Just a woman who wore the wrong names for too long:

Not enough. Too much. Damaged. Unqualified. Forgotten.

I believed them all.

Until God started whispering different names:

Daughter. Chosen. Equipped. Beloved. Mine.

The Ministry

Daily Dose Devotional was born from my own desperate need to hear God's voice above the noise. Every morning, before the sun rose, I'd sit with my Bible, my journal, and my coffee, begging God to speak.

He did. And He told me to share it.

The Prison Ministry Moment

Everything changed when I started ministering in women's prisons. I expected to minister to "them." Instead, I found myself looking in a mirror.

These women wore their labels on the outside: Inmate. Addict. Felon.

I wore mine on the inside: Unworthy. Broken. Mistake.

But God? He was calling us all the same name: Beloved.

Watching Him rename women the world had written off changed everything I believed about identity. If He could rename them, He could rename anyone.

He could rename you.

The Book

"Who Do You Think You Are?" wasn't a book I wanted to write. It was a book I had to write.

God wouldn't let me sleep until I agreed to put on paper what He was doing in those prison cells, in my living room devotionals, in the quiet moments where He whispers our real names.

This book is my testimony. But more than that, it's an invitation—for you to discover what God has been calling you all along.

Today

I'm still an introvert. Still more comfortable behind a keyboard than a microphone. Still drinking too much coffee and meeting God before sunrise.

But now I'm learning to step out from behind the curtain when God asks. Because if my story of shedding false names can help you shed yours, then the discomfort is worth it.

I believe in the God who renames us.
I believe your story isn't over.
I believe your real name is waiting.
And I believe you're here for a reason.
