How bold of you, to warn teen girls and women about "Hollywood". You are a role model to all women. Thank you. And, thank you for believing.

[@isabellagonzalez9959]

I totally agree :) praise the LORD for empowering you to serve Him in such a good way.

[@sumandhabolkar2819]

That's so true, especially with the new Harvey Weinstein scandal. Hollywood is a bad place.

[@curiousbrunette2677]

Agree

[@mollypettigrew7374]

How sad so many have and people and parents STILL push there children or themselves into it.💔💔💔

[@hannahorozco9553]

She's a real model. Not a worldy model, but a good role model ❤

"A beautiful woman without discretion is as a gold ring in a swines snout." Proverbs! But a beautiful woman with discretion and understanding is priceless

Charm is deceptive and beauty is vain/fleeting, but the women who fears God is to be praised. 😊

Women are beautiful with their clothes on. I’m proud of you Nicole. You did the right thing!!! 👍🏽

[@seacoast4950]

Derrick hand, lol, um yeah!! And I’m very feminine 😁 🙋‍♀️

[@mjohnson8206]

@Derrick Hand you are correct this is clearly a man

[@serenagomes42]

Agreed to what you said but then why do so many american ladies go to the beach with a two piece on.

[@seacoast4950]

TRUTH NO LIES , good question. We are supposed to dress conservatively. For some women it’s not important to dress conservatively. Woman are still beautiful with their clothes on.

[@danilaroche1156]

I modeled for years and did major campaigns like Clairol, Avon, Laura Ashley, was a covergirl and more! The Lord to me to get out. There is also a casting couch in modeling. The pressure and competition is intense & demoralizing. I read Nicole's book. Excellent read. Now I am a three times published author. Praise the Lord Jesus!!

[@vv.8927]

The bottom line really is ... that when you see yourself the way God sees you - it makes it hard to then short change yourself by allowing the world to see you as less than or as just a body. So good job girl! Amen

[@Hottielvr]

V V. what?

[@justbecause6472]

V V. Amen 🙏🏾

[@s.m.3608]

V V. I agree 100% It comes down to knowing your identity in Christ. That comes from studying the Bible yourself and seeing what thinks of you, calls you, desires for you etc. once you get the revelation that you are the apple of God's eye, no one can cause you to degrade yourself.

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

That's so weird! I literally just did a video about that. I'm an actor and I'm working on a character that quoted that 😂😂😂 #mysteriousways

[@carlosdyer5868]

Intelligent,articulate young woman; beautiful both inside and out ! Lord Jesus, thank you for testimonies like hers. Your will be done.

[@susandonahue865]

For so very long, I was envious of the perfect women around me. - In hindsight, I’m so very grateful for my journey. As I tell our teen son, there will always be someone with: - A bigger house, someone with a smaller house - More money, less money - Better vacations, no vacations - Parents who buy them expensive cars, parents who buy them bus passes The trick is ..... to stop comparing. 🌿

[@symphonybrown7724]

You know I found a quote that says "comparison is the beginning of misery". It struck me so hard but its so true. Your son is grateful to have you as parents. God Bless you.

[@Candellina]

@@symphonybrown7724 That's a good saying. Here's one I made up years ago: " Comparison is not the measurement of value." Hope it will encourage you all and God bless.

Some people wanted me to go into modelling when I was 15, but I refused. I knew even at that age that it would mean getting undressed in front of other people backstage and being treated like a piece of meat. Thank God I made the right decision.

Many people with be so thrilled to make it in modeling the way you did.. For you to walk away from it had to be hard. You didn't sell out. God bless you and use you to help others.

[@callieruth3941]

ATMC is a Christian agency . But I think it's a scam

[@Audridittlenumba2]

I think your missing the point Gods creation is not a model and the body is not meant to be desired or looked at like that except for by ones spouse

[@nicoleoliver2222]

April Showers but someone has to model modest fashion and maybe change the minds of those who dress immodest. Show people you can still look beautiful and be modest.

[@indigochild4664]

I’m a dude! I know completely what she’s talking about! When I was 21 an agent wanted me to be one of his models! But in order to do it they have to take pics of the whole Body clothes and no clothes, to see where it’s best to fit me! I decided against it! My gf at the same time also got the chance to be a model but it was the same thing with her, so she also decided against it! This women is telling the truth! Modeling isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!

Indigo Child I can believe it because it’s worldly and of the devil nothing gives God Almighty the glory

[@lilbitatrouble8107]

Thanks for your input appreciate it much

[@lcecka8805]

It's no secret. Modeling is about selling and making money. Women want all the glamour it brings and they are very young with young ideals. Just like all the other things in life that tempt young people. The FACT that smoking Causes cancer doesn't make people stop. It's sad but people want what's not good for them

[@creuzm]

God is Good. He put it in her heart to help others, that's all God ever wants to do for us, help us. I love you God.

[@gachaangiell2089]

Beautiful testimony. Everything we go through in our lives is for a reason. Your life is a great example of that. Because of ur horrible experience u are now able to go back and help others that are dealing with the same situation and those that will take heed will not have to go through all that you did. Im so happy for you and proud of you! God bless and keep you! 😉

The irony of this post...

[@ms.fortune2957]

WHERE WERE YOUR PARENTS???? HOW does a 16year old kid relocate to another state on her own?

[@devih9134]

I was thinking this too!

[@cassandrarodriguez2722]

America’s normalized leaving a parents home at a young age. For example, most people graduate high school when their 16/17/18 and then travel to other states to attend out-of-state college or study abroad. It is weird though! I know there’s some wise kids out there but I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting my child move at such a young age!!

[@Blue_Kryptonite]

She speaks the truth. I too went through a horrible experience when I first answered a modeling ad. I met with the photographer who was straight-up creepy AND he was married with a child. On my first photoshoot, he asked me to pose topless. I was 19. WTF?!!!! I never looked back and gave up pursuing modeling.

[@sajinisenaratne7935]

WOW! She's great! A true role model. :D

[@crystalgrose]

God bless this young lady for speaking out and sharing her testimony.

[@JustAThought155]

Why do all of the CBN stories I see end with this happy smiling image of a married person with kids? Do you ever show people who must walk in faith, on a daily basis, as they continue to strive to serve the Lord despite a perfect ending? Maybe you all can show the faith of people who must hold on to the Lord even in the midst of the storm. Not all Believers are lead to a mate and many cannot conceive, so they must walk relationally solely with the Lord throughout their life.

[@FunintheSun813]

That's a great idea. You are right. Not all Christians get married by 25 and have kids. It would be great if they interviewed a 45 -60 yr old male and female waiting on God to bless them with their mate. I hope they see your idea

[@alexanderstevens145]

Its still television it still has to sell in the world. It would be a nice story though I guess.

[@woolfulrebellion]

Bravo bravo bravo!!!! I wanted to say it....im glad somebody did.

[@0906blue]

Are like me, I got married had 2 children and 25 years later I had to leave. Then he punished me for leaving and I walked away with my life, nothing else. My son went to my parents because I can barely keep myself off the street. I had left my trade to be a homemaker. Yes I feel like I'm surviving and not living. Still waiting on the blessing. My faith has been tested completely. Some days my faith is good and I feel God's presence. Some days I feel he has forgotten me. Some days I call prayer lines and believe God for medical care because I'm uninsured. If you can't conceive I would think Jesus may want you to adopt or foster. I had a mate all my life, I don't want one but financially I need one. Praise him in the storm as best as you can.

[@lcecka8805]

Absolutely.....another example of familiarizing something

I'm so glad she got out and turned to God! Way back when, I was asked to model for Vogue and another major modeling agency in NYC , and both times God screamed to me "No, Don't Do It!!" I listened and I am so glad. There are drugs and prostitution involved with modeling. This young lady is doing a wonderful thing through her Project Inspired. God bless her.

[@AGM-ts5bb]

You have become the faith-filled positive role model you needed! Thsnk you so much!❤

[@adamm.6386]

She was way too young. It's sad that parents are not always there to protect them. The message needs to get out that responsible parents are needed to protect their children. I'm glad she has found herself and become strong enough to walk away from the demons who possessed her in lieu of money.

[@privateuser4179]

Das great point!!!

[@adriandlobo]

Sometime children do t want to listen or obey!

[@anon2030]

@Truth-prevails. Why do you think they gave children so much right? So they could take advantage of them. 🍕 pizzagate, n many more of the same.

[@AndrewFerrer3d]

I went to a modelling casting not to long ago and the presence of the devil was STRONG. It was absolutely horrible, everybody felt so dehumanized and the only thing that valued them was their appearance. When the models were leaving and the people casting were saying goodbye they only cared and were polite to the ones that looked the best and could make them the most money. I felt so misplaced in there and could just feel this evil presence in the others staring at me.

[@nicoleoliver2222]
