Emma Jane

Many years ago, I got a new phone—and with it, a new number. What I didn’t know at the time was that I’d also be inheriting a name, a past, and a bit of an alter ego.

For over a decade, I received endless texts and calls for someone named Emma Jane. Some of the people on the other end were charming. Others… let’s just say they were colorful. Emma clearly had a complicated life—one laced with stories, secrets, and maybe even a bit of trouble.

When I made calls, the name “Emma Jane” popped up on the screen. She wasn’t just a stranger’s identity anymore. She was showing up for me.

Over time, the name stuck. Friends started calling me Emma Jane as a joke, but something in me held onto it like a thread tied to something deeper. Something more.

The truth is—Emma Jane became more than a name. She became a part of me. She gave me something I hadn’t realized I was stepping into: strength, mystery, edge. There was a grit to her, a kind of shadowy grace. And somewhere between the wrong-number texts and misdirected voicemails, I found her—or maybe, she found me.

I began to write about her. Sometimes she’d show up in stories, quietly fearless, brutally honest, a little flippant, and unbothered by opinions. She walked with fire in her eyes and freedom in her step. She fought battles I couldn’t, and over time… I started fighting them too.

Emma Jane became the side of me that didn’t flinch. The one who put old demons to rest—not just silenced them, but killed them dead. She learned to stand tall, because she no longer carried shame. Christ reigns in her life now. In my life. That truth alone has shifted the way I walk in this world. My stride is different—more sure. My tone is steadier. My heart is lighter.

So if you happen to read about Emma now and then, know this: she isn’t a character I made up. She’s the warrior who rose up when I needed her most. She’s the whisper of God’s grace in a gritty world. And she’s not going anywhere.

If I had to change my name, I already know what it would be.

Emma Jane.
Always Emma Jane.
