Encouragement for Today, Hope for Eternity
Faith & Hope
I’m so honored for my work to be featured recently with a ministry called Radiant Sisters! I wrote a piece with four suggestions to help you if you’re in a season right now when you don’t feel motivated to read your Bible. If you haven’t felt like cracking open your Bible lately, please know you’re not alone, friend. As hard …

Are you in a hard season right now? If so, you’re not alone, friend. This morning on social media I posted an encouragement for anyone in a difficult season that seems like it will never end. So, before I jump into my blog post for today, I want to share a little excerpt from my post this morning. (You can …

I don’t typically use a post from my social media accounts as a blog post. But after posting this morning, I decided to re-post the below post from my Instagram account and Facebook page for those who don’t follow me on social. Like all of my posts, I hope that these words speak to your heart today! I absolutely love …
Faith & Hope, Infertility
In July, we had multiple weeks when we had no rain. It was in the upper 90’s and even 100 degrees a few days with 1000% humidity but not an inch of rain. None. It was so hot and so dry. Our grass started to die, but oddly enough, the weeds began to flourish. As I watched a handful of …

A few days ago I rushed around my house trying to knock some things off my to-do list. I can’t remember what I was doing, but what I do remember is that I was irritable and flat-out impatient with my kiddos. I told my kids multiple times how “mommy really needs to get this stuff done” which was absolutely true. …

Troll. No, not the fun-loving, long-haired, singing and dancing ones. I’m talking about the kind of troll that says something rude and just flat out ugly. That’s the kind of troll who decided to comment on something I posted on Instagram yesterday. He (someone I don’t know) commented on a video of my son reading from the Jesus Storybook Bible …

“Breathe in…Breathe out…Calm down,” I repeated to myself again and again. It was barely 7:00am, and thoughts about all the things I needed to do that day were swirling around in my mind. Soon, my anxiety over the busyness of the coming months turned that swirl into a Cat 5 hurricane. A heavy weight began crushing my chest. Every minute …
Faith & Hope
I had only been up for a couple of hours on a recent Saturday morning, and already I was doubting my ability to mom that day. I had gotten up early to spend time with God before the busyness of the day ensued. That time, which should have been centered on Bible reading and prayer, was instead a disheveled mess …

“Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 I love this prayer from Scripture. Here, David, who penned a lot of the psalms, is asking God three things: for God …

Confession: My time with God is not always a priority. Let’s be real. My time with God each day has major competition. Things like my phone, my kids waking up early, extra sleep, and even exercise are always standing ready to take the time I should be spending with him and use it in any other way than praying and …
