  • A Soft Close to 2025

    I do not partake in New Year’s Resolutions, but I do believe that at the start of December I decided that I can accomplish the desires placed within my heart. Life and circumstances can cause us to stop believing, even in ourselves. I am deciding that this is the year (& 2026) I will not […]

  • The Season Will Settle

    Hey y’all, sometimes things fall apart and come together at the same time. It is one of those mysteries of life that feels confusing while you are in it, but makes perfect sense when you look back. It can be hard to recognize the new thing God is doing when the residue from your past […]

  • When Strength Meets Sadness

    Yesterday, I met my father for the first time in person. I had never met him online either, other than messages exchanged through Messenger. But seeing him in real life felt different. Today, I cried. I cried for what had been stolen from us both, an opportunity for a genuine relationship. I cried for my children, […]

  • Recovering the Best Parts of Me

    When I find myself in mental and emotional spaces where everything feels overwhelming, I remind myself to return to a place of gratitude. It’s so easy to focus on the future, on the issues that haven’t yet unfolded, or to dwell on what hasn’t gone the way I hoped. But gratitude grounds me. It reminds […]

  • Every Good Work Isn’t a God Work

    Hey y’all. I feel that the biggest takeaway so far for September is to ensure that we are pouring back into ourselves as much as we are investing and pouring into others. Sometimes I find myself overextending to everyone around me, but when it comes time to invest in myself and my health, I tend […]

  • Grace That Keeps Us Standing

    I’m grateful for His grace. I think about how loving and kind God has been to me, and I am in a place of awe and reverence. I have had moments in my life when I didn’t know how I would be delivered to safety, but God’s grace kept me and covered me. There has […]

  • He’s in the Neighborhood

    He may not come when you want Him, but He’s always right on time. I don’t know about y’all, but I have been given so much grace. I have had so many “ram in the bush” moments when it seemed like there was no way out of my circumstances. Has God been coming through for […]

  • Chapter 28: The Butterfly Year

    We are already in September. The first week has passed, and just a few more remain. I typically write generally, but today’s devotion will be dedicated to a reflection of myself. This month is my birthday month, so I have been in a reflective place, thinking about all that God has done for me and […]

  • The Brook Has Dried, Now What?

    Hey y’all, I was having a conversation with a friend about how unexpected endings can happen so suddenly. You do not see them coming; they just arrive, and God allows them. The question becomes, what do you do with all the thoughts that rush into your mind? Often, what holds us back from moving forward […]

  • When Patience Becomes the Furnace

    I have been reflecting on how dangerous it can be to trust ourselves or others in moments of desperation. Desperation clouds judgment, weakens discernment, and pushes us to lean on our own understanding instead of the will of God. At its core, desperation often grows out of distrust and impatience. We struggle to believe there […]

  • Why Timing Matters More Than Opportunity

    Hey y’all, I have been reflecting on something that has become very real for me in this season of my life: a good thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing. Let me explain. If you receive a large sum of money but do not have financial discipline or maturity, you will mishandle […]

  • Be Still, Even When Life Isn’t

    Sometimes life seems to come at us all at once. Bills are due, the car needs fixing, daily needs are piling up, and assignments for work and school all demand attention at the same time. I have been in that place where it feels overwhelming and heavy. In those moments, the most important thing I […]

  • The War and the Will

    Good morning y’all. Happy Saturday. I do not even know where to start other than with honesty and transparency, since this is our safe space. I have been walking through a really challenging time in my life. On one end there is freedom and liberation, yet on the other side there is grief, pain, and […]

  • Hurt People, Healed Me

    Hey y’all, I hope you have been enjoying your week so far. I have been spending much time resting and focusing on self-care, and I hope you have been able to do the same. Lately, I have been reflecting on the sober truth that we cannot blame God for how someone chooses to use their […]

  • When Enough Is Everything

    I don’t think we truly consider the underrated blessing of daily bread. God is so good that He sustains us every single day. Not only does He sustain us, but also the animals and the world around us. We can get caught up in wanting more and seeking surplus, but daily sustainment from God is […]

  • Check the Cup

    Hey y’all, today is a new day so let us rejoice and be glad in it. I was thinking about how Scripture speaks of the dirty cup and dish in Matthew 23:25–26 NLT, “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the […]

  • Don’t Leave the Field Yet

    Time feels like it has flown this month, it seems like it was just the first, and I have a feeling August will be flying by. So, let’s get into it. I’ve been thinking about how we can be in places that don’t support our growth or healing. Sometimes it’s the season we’re in, but […]

  • Let the Weight Fall

    Happy Tuesday y’all. It’s a new day so let us rejoice and be glad in it. So, I’ve been thinking about something I have struggled with in the past which is striving. Striving not only for the approval of others, but even religiously. I was conditioned to believe that the only way God could hear […]

  • Lost Signal, Same Location

    Hey y’all, today I’m a bit under the weather, but even in that, there’s a word. I was thinking about how my body has been feeling. Have you ever been sick and felt those chills, even when it’s hot outside? You take a hot bath, but you’re still cold. You crawl under the blanket, and […]

  • GPS: God Positioning System

    Throughout August, we expect our minds to be blown in the best way, with overwhelming amounts of blessings. It’s easy to think pessimistically and expect the worst, but this month and moving forward, I am choosing to see the good in today and every day. Even in the challenges and difficulties, I will find the […]

  • Not Every Bag is a Blessing

    Hey y’all, happy Saturday. I hope this weekend is good to you, and y’all stay safe. Let’s get into it. Lately, I’ve been learning to find the beauty in taking my time. I think about the cars I’ve bought in the past, the opportunities I’ve jumped at, and even some of the relationships I rushed […]

  • Dear God, Blow My Mind

    August 1, 2025. I hope y’all are as expectant as I am for this month. I’m extremely grateful for another day and honestly, just grateful to see another day. I think we really have to pause and take in the first miracle of today: the fact that we made it. Another day. Another month. I don’t know […]

  • Unclenching the Heart

    Happy Thursday. I hope July was nothing less than amazing, and if it was a struggle, I’m believing that August is holding promises that will be fulfilled. Today, I was thinking about how the enemy uses the trap of unforgiveness and bitterness. I believe that’s why there’s so much discord in friendships and relationships. We’re […]

  • Full Plate, Full Faith

    I’m grateful to have made it to see another day, and I pray you feel the same. We’re halfway through the week and one day closer to August, so let’s get into it. The solution to handling your life problems is not by looking over the fence into someone else’s yard. Comparison will drain you. […]

  • It Won’t Always Be Like This

    Sometimes we wake up with the weight of yesterday because we wake up face-to-face with the wait of yesterday. What I mean by that is, when you’re in a season of life where you’re waiting for circumstances to change, it’s easy to carry that heaviness into each new day. Yes, the day has changed, but the burden […]
