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””

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?”
