Peace Was My Confirmation
There was a season recently where I truly believed I had found “the place.” I thought, This is it, Lord. This is where I’m supposed to pour out my heart. This is my offering to You. And I meant it sincerely. I walked in wanting to love people well. To encourage. To help. To bring […]
Jump on the Faith Wagon
Sometimes I want to lovingly grab people by the shoulders and say, “Sis… jump on the faith wagon already!” Not because life is easy. Not because there won’t be hard seasons. Not because we’ll always understand what God is doing. But because I have seen what happens when people fully surrender and trust Him anyway. […]
10 Things I’ve Learned at 54
Turning 54 feels different than I thought it would. When I was younger, I assumed this age would feel “old.” But honestly? It doesn’t. It feels reflective. Softer. Wiser. More grounded. More aware of what truly matters and what absolutely does not. Life has humbled me, stretched me, healed me, surprised me, broken me, rebuilt […]
Pentecost Sunday: More Than a Feeling
Today is Pentecost Sunday – a beautiful reminder that God didn’t leave us to do life alone. He sent His Holy Spirit to comfort us, guide us, strengthen us, convict us, and remind us that we belong to Him. He also sent His power – power to overcome, power to endure, power to stand, power […]
The Better Thing
This morning during my prayer time, the Lord gently reminded me of the story of Martha and Mary. I’ve read it countless times before, but today it felt different. Maybe because lately, I’ve been Martha. Not the frustrated Martha. Not the complaining Martha. Just the busy Martha. The Martha trying to figure everything out. The […]
It Feels Like Home
Today I was sitting with the manuscript for At His Feet, working through final edits, reading words that were written months ago in quiet moments with Jesus. And suddenly, I found myself thinking: “Lord… this is really good.” Not because I’m a great writer. Not because I’m publishing another book. Not because the editing is […]
Every Life Has Value
My heart is heavy today. I recently heard a story that has been difficult to shake. A baby diagnosed with Down syndrome was aborted during the second trimester. Since hearing about it, I have found myself grieving. Not because I know all the circumstances. Not because I sit in judgment over anyone involved. That is […]
Don’t Forget What He Has Done
This morning, I spent some precious time with the Lord, and honestly, I’m still sitting here with tears in my eyes. A song popped up in my memories: Healing Is In Your Hands by Christy Nockels. The moment I heard it, I was transported back to a completely different season of my life. A season […]
The Ministry of Showing Up
Lately, I’ve been thinking about faithfulness. Not the kind of faithfulness that makes headlines. Not the kind that gets applause or recognition. Just the quiet, everyday kind. The kind that gets up in the morning, goes to work, takes care of responsibilities, answers emails, folds laundry, pays bills, and does it all over again tomorrow. […]
When God Interrupts My Plans
When God Interrupts My Plans This morning, I spent some time with the Lord that left me both encouraged and convicted.
