Last week in my women’s Bible study group, our group leader challenged us to pick a picture that represented how we were currently felt. As I browsed through the pictures, there was one that struck something deep within me – a tiny pygmy mouse standing at the feet of towering elephants.  The mouse looked so…

This past weekend, I had the sweet privilege of standing poolside, watching a dear friend I have been walking alongside for the past year step into the waters of baptism. As the voices of the worship team filled the room, there was a sense of holy anticipation, as if heaven itself leaned in to witness…

This past weekend, I sat quietly, earbuds in, listening to Francis Chan speak about the “Quiet Life.” His words fell into my heart like gentle rain on parched ground. The more I listened, the more I realized he was describing the life I long for – a life that is steady, unhurried, simple, and anchored…

This past week has felt unbearably heavy. News of Charlie Kirk’s passing, the tragic death of Iryna Zartuska, and yet another school shooting in Colorado has left many of us with a deep ache in our hearts.

Life has a way of reminding us how fragile promises can be. People mean well, but they disappoint. Plans fall apart, and circumstances change in ways we could never have expected. I’ve experienced this myself, and maybe you have too. But in the midst of all the broken promises of this world, there is One…

Life has seasons when catching your breath feels nearly impossible. Not because you are running a marathon or climbing a mountain, but because the weight of responsibilities, deadlines, and expectations presses in from every direction. For me, that season arrived during my summer semester as I began my journey toward a graduate certificate in theology.…

Prayer has always been both a lifeline and a challenge for me. I know how much I need it, yet I often catch myself rushing in with a busy mind and hurried words. Over time, I’ve learned, though I need constant reminding, that there is great beauty in pausing before I speak. When I stop,…
