Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a painting class, and though the assignment seemed simple at first glance, it turned into a profound lesson about life, faith, and personal growth. The task was to paint three feathers on small canvases, each with unique colors and backgrounds. The twist? Our only tool was…

Last night, I watched the movie “The Passion of Christ” for the very first time. As expected, my heart simply broke for Jesus as I watched Him suffering in the garden, during the beatings, as he carried the cross through town, and as He took His last breath on the cross. But what I did…

Friday evening, as I began preparing for our church’s women’s brunch on Saturday, I was filled with excitement. I had created the perfect menu for the event, I crafted a delightful opening dish, and I picked out a special little gift for the women attending. But most importantly, I generated a handful of questions for…

Tuesday morning, after I delayed my book launch, I found myself in a state of funk. After preparing for months, I felt like a deflated balloon. I remember spending most of my afternoon, walking around the house, almost in fog with zero drive to do anything. That evening, as I began getting ready for my…

Tomorrow is the release of my brand new book. I have been preparing for this moment for as long as I can remember. It was in the Spring of 2023 when I first felt the stirrings of a new project within my heart. The idea for the book came to me not as a sudden…

I am hoping that when you saw the title of this blog, you did not pass by it because you thought it was not for you. Many Christians when they are asked this question, immediately respond with a resounding “NO”. But many of us fail to realize that the daily choices we make, the compromises…

Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to teach a class at the Christian women’s rehabilitation center that I have been interning/volunteering at. The lesson that the women were about to begin was Louie Giglio’s “Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table”. As I prepared for the lesson, I gained a deeper understanding…

The other day at church, our pastor’s message was based on “The Parable of the Talents”. At the end of the service, he asked all of us one very profound question… “What would it look like if God audited your life?” I remember several years ago I had thought what a performance review of my…

There is nothing sweeter than the kindness of friends, especially when you are recovering from an illness. It had been two weeks since Joe and I came down with the flu and basically became incapacitated. During the two weeks, we had friends offering to run to the store and bring us medicine, even though we…
