There have been seasons in my life where my relationship with God has felt full, steady, and deeply alive. His Word felt rich, prayer felt natural, and His presence seemed close and constant. I remember what it felt like to sit with Him without distraction, where time seemed to slow and my heart felt anchored…

There is something deeply comforting about the way God chooses to work – not only through the extraordinary, but through the willing, the available, and the ordinary. This past Sunday, our pastor shared a thought that at one point in time, we were someone’s “one.” Someone prayed for us. Someone believed for us. Someone carried…

This past Sunday during church, our pastor said something that has stayed with me ever since. It was one of those statements that quietly settles into your heart and continues to echo in your thoughts long after the service has ended. He essentially asked a simple but profound question: Why is it that we trust…

Recently, I was given an exciting opportunity that I did not expect. I have been invited to collaborate with several different authors to write a book together. When I first heard about the project, I felt both honored and surprised. Writing has always been something deeply personal for me, often something I do quietly on…

This past Sunday felt especially meaningful for Joe and me. After being away from church for nearly a month, we finally walked back through the doors again. What might seem like a simple return to a weekly routine turned out to be a powerful reminder of how deeply our souls crave fellowship, connection, and worship…

Yet while reflecting on those relationships, I…

Last week I began a fast that looks a little different from the traditional idea of fasting. Instead of removing food entirely, I chose to remove all processed food from my life for a time. During this fast I am eating only whole, natural foods that are freshly prepared – nothing packaged, nothing artificial, and…

At the beginning of this month, I had the extraordinary opportunity to attend the Christian Product Expo. From the moment I walked into the convention center, I sensed it was more than a professional milestone. It felt sacred. The hum of conversation, the thoughtfully arranged booths, and the steady stream of publishers, retailers, and authors…

This past Christmas, the gifts sat under my tree long after the season had passed. I had bought them carefully – each one chosen with intention. Something thoughtful for my daughter. Something practical for my son-in-law. Little things I imagined lighting up my grandchildren’s faces. I wrapped them gently, tied the ribbons, and placed them…

At the beginning of this year, I was determined to publish a new book—a devotional written for every single day of the year. Three hundred and sixty-five reflections, each one designed to gently draw readers closer to God in steady, practical ways. I envisioned something consistent and accessible. Not deeply personal. Not layered with my…
