Yesterday morning I got up a little earlier than my daughter to prep her breakfast which usually consists of strawberries, mini pancakes, and eggs. I had just brought home a huge new container of strawberries and still needed to wash them. I had seen a video the day before about letting them soak in bakingContinue reading “Refinement”

the greatest heartbreak may come from obedience
The time is 11:40 pm. I am laying in bed next to my husband who is fast asleep. I myself am in and out of sleep when I feel this pain hit my heart like a semi going at full speed. The tears fall and the fears rise. I can’t sleep. So I go downstairsContinue reading “the greatest heartbreak may come from obedience”
Struggles of the mind
Have you ever heard of the “sundown scaries”? I hadn’t until my daughter was about 2 months old. I was getting ready to go back to work and noticed every evening I would get crippling anxiety. I couldn’t sleep unless I heard her move or breathe a certain number of times in the night. IContinue reading “Struggles of the mind”
Stop and smell the roses – no seriously.
I was talking to a friend at work the other day about what life looks like right now. About how life just feels so “bleh” and still. I mentioned that sometimes I forget I have free will. Which “free will” in and of itself is a topic I could have a deep theological discussion aboutContinue reading “Stop and smell the roses – no seriously.”
“There you are” not “Here I am”
If you know anything about me, it’s that in 2020 I started reading “Live Fearless” by Sadie Robertson. I took months to read, highlight and underline every single thing that I felt like God was using to speak to me. It is honestly what really pushed me to grow in my personal relationship with theContinue reading ““There you are” not “Here I am””

Hi friends, its been a long time since I’ve shared my heart on here. If you are reading this, thank you for taking the time to do so.

Influence
How do you have an influence for Jesus in a world that is ever-indulging in the influence of sin? As I thought about this topic and question, I found it a challenge within myself. I do my best to try to show others Jesus as consistently as I can. But… I am human. I fail.Continue reading “Influence”
Emotions and the Heart
Do you ever feel like somehow your emotions get so built up over time that you’re anxiously anticipating an explosion of emotions? I am right there with you. Over the last three weeks, I’ve been studying my emotions through the lens of the Bible with a daily devotional called “Emotions and the Heart”. It hasContinue reading “Emotions and the Heart”
Questioning connection- relational trauma
Do you ever find yourself walking away from a conversation questioning everything you said and did, wondering if you offended someone or said the wrong thing? If so, SAME GIRL (or dude) SAME. A few years ago (2017-2020) I had gone through a rough few years of hurt. I was at a breaking point ofContinue reading “Questioning connection- relational trauma”
Do my words matter?
You could ask anyone this question and I guarantee every answer would be collectively the same. However, if we asked any one of those people why, I guarantee we’d have a wide array of reasons. “Why does what we say matter?” I’m sure there are plenty of valid reasons, but the most simple and yetContinue reading “Do my words matter?”
