Wow. I feel honored that you stumbled across my page. Whether it be by accident, a gravitational pull, or an invitation from a friend, I know this is not a coincidence, but a divine appointment. I am a strong believer in spiritual appointments. With all my heart and soul, I believe that God is the…

Worship As Prayer Sometimes, the best prayers aren’t spoken words, but through song. Through worship. Through silence. Through tears. Through surrender. A couple of weeks ago, I didn’t have many words to speak to Jesus. Instead, I gave him my tears. My love. And my song. I pictured Jesus’ face, his eyes gazing into my…

Hi! *wave* I don’t know you and you don’t know me but I know someone who knows you. Not just knows you in the deepest recesses of your heart but loves you with an unconditional, passionate, reckless, die-for-you kind of love. Who delights in you and knows you by name. Who thought of you before…

In my 29 years on this planet we call Earth, I have learned quite a bit—enough to fill plenty of books, journals, and Microsoft Word documents (though there is so much more for me to know!). And yet, in all my knowledge, I have discovered that there is only one thing that truly matters: to…

There is an audio devotional I like to listen to called Sing, and on a particular morning a couple weeks back, I was struck with a visual they had shared regarding worship: “Worship is a full contact sport.” What does that mean exactly? When someone is invested in a sport—whether football, soccer, rugby—they throw everything…

Let me tell you (though all you mothers out there know), being a mama is not a walk in the park. Through all the moments of having to change diapers (while my son is trying to help down there with his ever-curious little hands), picking up miscellaneous cheerio’s and crunchy snacks out of the carpet…

Do you remember listening to the catchy beat of the song “Words” by Hawk Nelson? The song starts out by saying: They’ve made me feel like a prisonerThey’ve made me feel set freeThey’ve made me feel like a criminalMade me feel like a kingThey’ve lifted my heartTo places I’d never beenAnd they’ve dragged me downBack…

I am surrounded by so many blessings. All around me, I see God’s fingerprints in every area of my life. Yet, even knowing and seeing God’s promises, I can’t help but feel anxiety for the future. Or also seeing the hard and imperfect things in my life and wondering where God is in all of…

I am someone who has struggled and still struggles with anxiety. My anxiety is often triggered when something happens that’s outside of my control. Feelings and thoughts swirl around, but at its core, I have discovered much of what triggers my anxiety is the feeling of helplessness and powerlessness. I have a “fix-it” mentality. My…

A Perspective On Psalm 63 David wrote this Psalm when he was deep in the trenches of the desert running from King Saul, possibly hiding out in the Cave of Adullam. Civilization was miles away, water and food certainly hard to come by, and he was surrounded by at least 400 men who were hiding…

Disappointments are a real part of life. I wish it weren’t! I wish there was a way around that mountain without having to feel all the feelings that come with it. Disappointments often occur when we encounter unmet expectations. “Well, I’ll just stop hoping and expecting good things to happen.” No! Don’t do that. We…

Awhile ago, I had the privilege of praying a Mother’s Day blessing over the mothers at our church. The Spirit and I collaborated and created this beautiful prayer together. May this be a blessing to you, mamas! I pray that you will pray this over your family and other families that you encounter! Dear Jesus,…

A Story of Healing It was 2021. The world was just opening after Covid. Masks, cleaning, and cleanliness laws were still in place. The world was still a bit of a strange place. I was a young mom of two boys at that time. My children were two and just over one year old. I had…

I first heard these words, purposeful suffering, during one of my audio-guided runs called “Get In Your Head.” This interval speed run was intense—one minute at an almost-sprint pace, with a one-minute recovery; two minutes at an almost-sprint pace, with a one-minute recovery—3 sets of these. Two coaches were motivating me during this run with…
