Do you look back at what has passed by? Have you walked away from situations, but can’t quite quit dwelling on or reassessing how it could have been different? I was listening to the for King & Country song called Burn the Ships and it hit me so hard how often we continue to look
Do you believe God can’t use you until you have corrected all of your flaws, until you are perfectly pressed and without wrinkle? I hope not. I have a news flash for you, there are NO perfect people in this world. However God doesn’t use us because he has no other choice; he uses
All around me I see society judging based on their OWN knowledge. As a whole they are not reaching out in compassion; not trying to learn, grow and seek guidance…just leading out of their OWN experience and not attempting to understand anyone else’s perspective. It is easy for each of us to operate only
My heart is so hurt right now for our broken world. For days I have not had the “right” words. Each day that goes by I feel more and more that there are no “right” words to fix the racist injustices within our culture. The pain is so deep within the wounded communities that
To be beyond reproach means that the qualities of your character and your behavior speak so loudly about WHO YOU ARE that NOBODY questions what you stand for.

Proverbs 15:1-4 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse
Have there been times where you can barely keep going through the motions each day? I think we all have seasons that are more difficult than others.

Are you able to sit in a peaceful place and quietly focus your entire mind on God? If you let out a chuckle or an exasperated sigh at this question you are not alone. Me too. But why? WHAT is it that keeps us so distracted? I know your mind is instantly listing off
Do you trust God? I mean really, truly trust that he will provide for your every need? In the worst of times, in utter confusion, with no way out… do you call out to him? Or are you scrambling to reason things out with worldly wisdom and lean on your own understanding? I am
I would rather people hate me for who I AM, than love me for who I’M NOT. I have lived by this motto my entire adult life. I don’t want anyone to desire to be around me because they believe I’m something that I’m not; I would rather be hated for what I stand
You might be wondering why I created this blog and why it should matter to you. So here’s the insider information! The peek behind the curtain, if you will, into my heart. I want you to have a place to consistently come and nurture the belief that God is with you and has a
Dare to dream mighty things and do not fear failure. God did not create us with a spirit of fear and he strengthens us through failure.
I believe in dreaming big dreams and pursuing them with tenacity. Since I was a little girl I have believed that it was possible to achieve anything you put your mind to. However many times in my life I was too scared to pursue my desires. Fear is the perfect deterrent to prevent you
We all need to be reminded of God’s strength in every situation. If you are like me you may need more help in this area than others. The Bible should be the first tangible place we visit to seek guidance and assurance that God is in control. I encourage you to surround yourself with
