"Ask Christa" #4 Boys, love, and heartbreak.
Melanie from Lake Forest, IL wrote me this:
I found this quote about a year and a half ago on your old blog and I’ve always wanted to know the story behind it…
“I gave my heart to someone—the thing that my life flowed out of—my emotions, my days, my speech…everything. I handed that heart to someone who had never fought to pursue it, or even shown...
cestdeboncoeur asked: Christa, first of all let me tell you I' cannot wait for your book to come out. I'm just wondering if it is coming out in Portugal? If yes, where can I buy it? I'm truly happy that you went forward to this project and arose to the challenge of writing a book about such deep matters. You are such an inspiration sista :)
I have just one more question for you; when you first...

Laura Barnett from England writes:
I was going to ask you a deep though provoking question, but I can’t think of one. Sooo, I’m going to ask you, What your favourite thing about Christmas and this time of year?
Most definitely….CHRISTMAS MUSIC! Harry Connick Jr, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Bing Crosby, the classics. I literally can’t get enough. Studhubs said the...

"Ask Christa" #2
My sweet friend Angela Vera from the gorgeous country of Venezuela (Yes, I can’t WAIT to come back) asked me one of my favorite questions:
How can you describe the love of God?
And When are you coming back to sing solo to Venezuela? :) Is your book coming in spanish too?
Let me answer the second questions first. When am I coming back to Venezuela? As SOON as I get my first world tour...

"Ask Christa" #1
The first question I’ve chosen to answer is from the adorable Poppy Pike from the UK (I mean, how can you not be adorable with a name like Poppy Pike?).
Poppy asked me this:
Even though you obviously were able to overcome a difficult time with your confidence, are there some days when you still feel a little self-concious? I’m just wondering because it’s only natural...

"Ask Christa."
I’ve had so many of you tweet me questions over the past year, but keeping up with tweets is about as hard as chasing a piece of paper down the street in a Texas windstorm.
That’s why, I’ve decided to start an email dedicated to your questions, inquiries, curiosities, and question marks. Ask me anything. Ask me hard questions and silly questions. Ask me personal questions...

Do you ever look in the mirror and hate what you...
Thought it was about time you guys knew what this book was all about—and what better way to do that than posting the back cover. (:
Many of you have asked me if God Loves Ugly is a biography, and the answer is no—however…I definitely use myself as the guinea pig on the chopping block. I took parts of my story (and my friends stories, who i’ve received permission from)...

Q&A...
So my sweet online friend Marie Lemma asked me a few questions for a school paper, and the questions were so good, I asked her if I could add the interview to my tumblr.
So friends, here you go:
1) What type of Artist/songwriter would you classify yourself as?
Kind of like ‘Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch’….minus the rap and the underwear modeling. (: No…just a plain ole...

Empty House
So, we went from this:
To this:
Our fabulously furnished West Hollywood rental house is no longer fabulously furnished (with our landlord moving across the country to Connecticut with furniture in tow), and we’re now the proud owners of 3 chairs, a rug, a thrift store dining room table, some guitars and a violin, clothes, books, and an air mattress.
Now, at first—I was in a panic....
