Nicole Williams grew up in California with parents who embraced all the glory of San Francisco in the 60's and 70's. The middle of three girls, she learned to sail in the bay and eat with chopsticks in Chinatown. She grew up running and exploring the foothills along the Pacific Ocean. The city was full of life and her parents wanted their three girls exposed to all of it. She met God at the end of an aisle in a little church in San Antonio when she was 18. She felt Him smile and say "hey there, I've been waiting for you." God's been with her every step, even to a myriad of places He wishes she'd never gone. Nicole is a Bible study writer and poet. Seeing God's grace and mercy in times of deep personal suffering has given Nicole relentless faith to believe in the power of intentional praise. She loves God's word and its incredible power to change our lives. She lives just north of Houston with her husband Lance, and is mom to two young adults, Hanna and Jack.
