Trust God in the Waiting
In the past several months, a couple of my close friends have been going through the most challenging time of their lives. Being a part of this journey with them has also been extremely difficult for me. I am a “fixer.” I never actually realized that until about a month ago as I was desperately […]
The Healer of Wounds
A few years back, my oldest daughter Olivia and I were talking about what happens when a person gets “wounded” internally. With questions like: “What happens when a person tries to heal themselves or use outside sources for healing?” or worse yet, “What happens if the wound goes ignored?” As we were discussing, an understanding […]
Intentional Relationships
I recently had a dear friend from my childhood whom I hadn’t seen in many years visit from out of state. I am sure I am not the only one with friends who were once very close, but distance and circumstances make it hard to see each other more regularly. During our time, she indicated […]
He makes me enough
So many Christians I am in contact with, seem to be struggling with their identity in Christ. The enemy is constantly accusing them of their past sins and telling them that they are fakes, not good enough, don’t measure up, and that they should be ashamed. These are all lies. In my life, I have […]
Trade Your Burdens for His Peace
Decisions, decisions, decisions! Have you ever felt like you just can’t possibly make another one? “I don’t even have the energy it takes to decide what we are even going to eat for dinner tonight. I am all decisioned out!” Is there anyone else who can possibly make this decision for me? Anyone? Lord, please […]
Lonely But Not Alone
It is no secret that our walk with the Lord can get very lonely. We know we aren’t alone; we have His spirit, and He sends many to walk along side of us. For which we are grateful, but in all truth and honesty, sometimes it can just be hard, right? I am a single […]
The Legacy of Crazy Quilts
Having a commute often allows for quiet reflection opportunities, and recently, I was reminded of the deep family traditions my grandparents nurtured throughout their lives. It prompted me to think about my journey and the traditions I’ve started or continued for my children. What stands out most to me is the profound impact my grandparents […]
Forgiveness
I recently did a teaching where I shared a personal testimony. It took me through a pruning season that I did not know I needed. In preparation, I started by asking God what He wanted me to speak on. When He told me to talk about forgiveness I thought “awesome! I’ve got this one down!” […]
The God of Provision
A few weeks ago, the Lord led me to pray differently for our prodigals and lost loved ones, those who do not know the Lord or who are far from Him. Aren’t you glad that He still speaks to His children? I am thankful that not only does He bend low to listen, but He […]
No Longer Broken
In May of 2022, a dear friend was led to send some of her sisters in Christ beautiful everlasting roses. Each one was a particular color, special to each sister. The color of my rose was a perfect pink. My friend didn’t know that I am very drawn to pink (in fact, I have so […]
