Recently, I was at the ER with my son because he was having severe abdominal pain. We sat in the busy waiting room for hours. But in the middle of the waiting, I became in awe of the people around us. The ER is usually not where people want to be, and yet, I saw some of the most beautiful acts of kindness. There was an older woman in a wheelchair whose arm was scarred from a past burn. Her feet were dangling and her toes were touching the cold ER floor. That’s when I witn

Why knowing more isn’t enough. Friend, Many of us have spent years collecting information about God. We've listened to sermons. Read books. Attended Bible studies. Highlighted verses. And yet sometimes we still feel stuck. Why? Because information alone doesn't transform us. Truth becomes transformative when it moves from our heads into our hearts and daily lives. That's where many women get discouraged. They know what Scripture says. But they're not sure how to apply it wh

Friend, One of my favorite things about scripture is that God never meets people after they've figured everything out. God meets them in the middle. Moses was uncertain. David was overwhelmed. Peter was impulsive. The Samaritan woman was carrying shame. And yet God met every one of them exactly where they were. God met me in the middle of my muddy pit… a pit of destruction and depression. I was 19 when I walked into my friend’s house one summer night, and her mom looked at

What if this summer became more than a busy season filled with activities and obligations?

Thankfulness versus gratitude, have you ever considered the difference? They are deeply connected yet different. The Bible tells us it is God’s will to give thanks in everything. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NAS) in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Thankfulness is a quality of being thankful, which shows appreciation or returns a kindness. Thankful: You can be thankful that the long line was quicker than expected and you were not late. Y

Friend, today I want to share a portion of a recent live event I taught called: Your Lane. Your Gifts. Running Your Own Race Faithfully. This teaching and gathering was a blessing to us all and I believe it can bless you as well. In Christianity, the call to "run the race" is a metaphor for the lifelong journey of faith. We are called to run our race with a purpose. Here are a few questions to ponder. Are you running your race, questioning your race, or are you on the sidel

Friend, be encouraged in what Christ has done for you. Today, I will share two things that impacted my heart. I pray they encourage you, too! First, has it ever been hard to call Good Friday good? For me there are times when I’ve called it black Friday. When I think that my Lord and Savior went to the cross to die for me and atone for my sin- that feels heavy or dark. But on my way to Good Friday service, this sentence captured my heart , “Good Friday is good because Sund

I know life can be really tough, and we all need a little encouragement now and then. That’s why I’m sharing this message with you - I hope it encourages you right where you are. This year, I started to read a book called, Praying the Names of God for 52 weeks. Each week you can learn a different name for God. I was delighted to see the name for God on week one was Elohim. Let me share my story with you. But first let me ask you - Have you ever heard God clearly and then do

As I prepared my heart for thanksgiving, I spent a few minutes journaling! I want to share a little of what I wrote. MY JOURNAL ENTRY Thank You Lord, for all - Thank You God for all ... all you have done - all you are doing ... all you will do. ( Then I wrote some of the ways God has shown up and created a blessing! ) Thank you for Who You are! (I pondered Him being Almighty God and yet walking so tenderly with me. ) Thank You for Your ... kindness, wisdom, power, gr

We've got an early Christmas gift for you! Something special to help you find peace and joy before the holidays even begin. A few years ago, God reminded me that the holidays can be hard for many of us. I realized that my mentorship would need to be sensitive to those hard situations and seasons. So last year I shared my heart with Michelle Croyle, host of the Mental Health for Christian Women podcast , and we teamed up to help women during that season. Last year we created

I stepped out back and looked into the early morning sky that was slowly brightening. I wanted to help myself wake up by getting some sunlight into my eyes. Although I could not see the sun, I saw its effects. A beautiful pink color covered the clouds in the distance. Lines of flat pink clouds were embraced by the horizon. It was beautiful! In that beautiful moment I pondered God’s majesty. Have you noticed how late in the year the trees are changing colors ? Today as
