Crystal Williams is a writer, speaker, and mentor focused on delivering honest stories to encourage others in their walks of faith.

i'm crystal

I could tell you here how much I love Jesus, my husband, my dog, coffee and books. But let’s do something different instead: Here you’ll find imperfection, hilarious honesty and the bit of wisdom I’ve gained in my short 27 years of existence.

No faking; no sugar coating. If you’re ready for truth and grace, stay a while... you’ll find it here.

A new school year is upon us and if you or your kiddos are starting school today, I want you to know there are people praying for them. I am. And I trust so many others are.
.
If you want to share a specific name of someone you know going back to school, whether as a student, teacher or staff, drop their name in a comment so I can be praying for them! Cheers to YOU and cheers to Wednesday! ☕️

It’s my BIRTHDAY WEEK! 🎉

Few new things you should know...
.
Número 1: TODAY at 12 PM (cst) I’m going LIVE on IG + FB to share upcoming speaking events and my latest writing project. So it’s a lunch date, see ya then! 🤗
.
Número 2: I CRIED on my IG stories yesterday. 😭🤪 Did you watch? You’ll noticed I used the hashtag #transparentoverperfect because it got real. I invite you to use it when sharing real life and real thoughts via posts + IG Stories too cause, let’s just keep it real. Right?! (And anyone who clicks on the # or follows the # will be able to see all our posts and be encouraged.) 🤳🏻
.
Número 3: I always bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch. 🍪
.
Número 4: I can’t just read one book at a time, I read like 3. 🤦🏻‍♀️
.
Número 5: I once passed out setting up a high ropes course (I was certified) because I skipped breakfast. Which I should go ahead and share, I’m anemic and hypoglycemic... soooo I really can’t be skipping meals and then do intense stuff high up in the air. 🧗🏻‍♀️
.
.
.
But enough about me, tell me about YOU! #fridayintroductions 👋🏼

Today’s a great day to start that thing.
.
.
I often get asked, “how did you start running”? Or “how did you start blogging”? “How did you start speaking?” “How did you get over being camera shy?”
.
.
My answer: I just started.
.
.
🏃🏻‍♀️ I put shoes on, walked outside and began running.
•
👩🏻‍💻 I opened my browser, googled blogging sites, signed up for one and started writing.
•
🗣 I got in front of people and started sharing stories, what I’m learning, and encouragement.
•
🤳🏻 I got in front of video cameras and my phone camera and just hit record and started speaking what God laid on my heart to share.
.
.
You have to BEGIN doing that thing you want to do or try at some point. So....

How come no one gives us pep talks on Tuesdays? All the motivation comes on Monday. Well, for those who need it TODAY, here ya go:
.
“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - Robert Tew
.
.
.
Hebrews 12:1-2 said it first:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
.
.
.
Whatever is hindering you, whatever sin is entangling you... throw it off. Cut ties with it. Move onward. ✌🏼

REMEMBER: No weapon formed against you will prosper! If you believe He IS alive and confess Him as Lord, the Bible says the SAME power that raised Jesus from the dead is now inside of YOU.
.
If He is for you, who can be against you?
.
If He is with you, what can man do to you?
.
If the Savior of the world, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, our Redeemer and King, calls you BELOVED, then you’re already spoken for, accepted, forgiven, chosen, fought for, and loved. .
Trust Him. Give Him everything. It’s not too late.
.
He overcome death just to have you.

Celebrating 4 years of marriage today! Forever and always, I’m yours and you are mine. I love you more each day, Calvin! 💛 #crystalmarriescalvin #thatwilliamslife

.

@veracruztacos in Austin did NOT disappoint. If you go, you gotta try their Migas Taco. Been dreaming about it since Saturday... 🤤. And don’t get me started on this Agua Fresca de Sandia! 💦 🍉
