Jesus, You are my everything! Day in and day out, I breathe in Your grace and exhale “Thank You.” I am in awe of Your goodness to me and for loving me so well. When I grow cold in my love for You, pull me in closer. Remind me of Your lovingkindness and faithfulness. Awaken…

The Secret to the Emptiness in Our Soul
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…

Worship is a Full Contact Sport
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?

Purposeful Suffering
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…

Cultivating Gratitude
Gratitude was something I struggled with for a long time.
