Desperate

I was doing everything to manage my anxiety except the one thing that actually helps. What I wasn't doing was praying. Not really. A single verse from Psalm 34 reminded me that the throne room is open and I am not carrying any of this alone.

Can there be Hope in Tragedy - Part II

Psalm 23 gives us two tools: the rod that protects and the staff that keeps us near. Neither works if we run. God's heart for us doesn't change, even when everything else does.

Cool Story, Tell it Again

Seventeen years ago, I packed four kids, two dogs, and a bag of each child's favorite things into a car and drove across the country to safety. If you're in a season where you can't imagine things ever feeling light again, this one is for you. God rescues broken things.

Can there Be Hope in Tragedy - Part I

Tragedy doesn't come with answers. What it does demand is a choice: will we trust the heart of God, or decide we know better? That question determines everything about how we walk through what comes next.

Remember

God knows we forget, and He planned for it. "Remember" appears 172 times in Scripture. In Joshua, God told the Israelites to stack stones so they wouldn't forget what He had done. What are your stones?

Grief

Grief keeps reminding you of what's gone. If you're walking alongside someone in that kind of pain right now, this one is for you. Not platitudes. Just a few honest thoughts on how to sit with someone whose suffering is too great for words.

Spring Cleaning

Some of my faith rhythms had become habit without heart. Spring cleaning with Jesus means moving a few things around, confessing the dusty corners, and finding fresh ways to actually show up in the relationship, not just check the box.

Walk on By

It never starts with a full step away from faith. It starts with a pause. In Psalm 1, David maps out exactly how quietly we can drift from walking with God to sitting comfortably in what pulls us away. The warning is simple: keep walking.

Lessons Learned from the Shore

The ocean has a way of making me think about God. Watching the waves roll in, constant and unhurried, I started counting all the ways the shore reflects Who He is. Creation has a lot to say if we slow down long enough to listen.

The Waves

Not long ago I was a single mom with four kids and three jobs, barely keeping my head above water. God was in those waves with me then, and He's in yours now. He never left my side, and He won't leave yours either.
