"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10  As we navigate through life, transitions are inevitable. Whether we're stepping into new opportunities, navigating unexpected challenges, or simply facing the unknown, seasons of change can leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. Yet, in the midst of these transitions, even when eve

Last week during my discussion with my life group, the topic of being still came up and we started talking about how hard it is to be still and trust that God is moving when everything around you looks like it’s falling apart.  It made me think of Exodus 14:14 which is a verse that brings me reassurance in the midst of trials and emphasizes this idea of being still and letting God fight for you:  “The Lord Himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” ~ Exodus 14:14 NLT For co

We are on our phones so often throughout the day that in the middle of life’s hustle and bustle, it’s usually the quickest thing we can access. And while I highly recommend downloading the Bible App so God’s Word is always within reach, having a wallpaper with an anchor verse or encouraging reminder is such a quick and powerful lifestyle integration that can help you stay grounded. I’ve recently added Isaiah 41:10 as my phone wallpaper, and having it quickly accessible has a

There are moments in life when our problems feel so loud that they try to take center stage in our hearts. But David reminds us in Psalm 34:3 to "magnify the Lord, and exalt His name together."   To magnify something means to focus on it intentionally, and one practical way we can do that is through praise and worship. Worship shifts our focus back to God's nature and creates an atmosphere where we're declaring the truths of who He is and how good He is. So  if you’ve been fe

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent most of your life being the strong and independent one. You’re the fixer, the planner, the dependable one, the one who figures it all out on her own, and who always holds it down. So when you began your relationship with God and He started calling you to rest in Him, rely on him, lean on Him, and trust Him... those things felt hard for you because for so long, you've only known how to depend on yourself. If this resonates with

Happy New Year love! While January has felt like the longest month already, it is not too late to realign ourselves for the year ahead. And what better way to do that than to choose the verses that will anchor us for the next 11 months. Below are some of the verses I’m clinging onto this year and encourage you to add to your arsenal of verses for 2026:  1 . “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. ”~ Matthew 6:33

There are seasons in life where you need additional guidance and practical tips on how to lean on God in your specific situation. In those seasons, I've found it helpful to look for books that speak to what I'm going through and provide Biblical guidance on how to keep going. In this blog post, I will be sharing 5 of these books that have been instrumental in strengthening my faith. *** Disclaimer: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links.

There’s something about the end of the year that naturally invites reflection. As the days slow down and the calendar begins to close, it’s often easier to notice what this year has held, both the moments we celebrated and the ones that stretched us more than we expected. Right now, you might be feeling proud of how far you’ve come, disappointed by what didn’t happen, grateful for unexpected blessings, or simply tired and ready for the new year to start. Wherever you find you

If you've been internally wrestling with the season of life that God currently has you in, I wanted to share something from a recent sermon  that stuck with me: Joseph thrived in every season of trial he encountered because God hadn't forgotten about Him. Joseph's story started out very promising. He was the son of Jacob and Rachel, who had waited and prayed for a child for so long that when they finally got him, they spoiled him rotten. This stirred up jealousy in his brothe

We often don't realize how much we're carrying until we give ourselves the space to process it. It's so easy to numb ourselves with food, binge-watching our favorite shows, scrolling endlessly, or just staying busy. All the while, the things we're carrying go unaddressed and pile up, eventually leading to a breakdown that could have been prevented. This is why one of my favorite things to do on Fridays is journaling out my feelings, frustrations, and thoughts from the week. T

Journaling is one of the most effective tools to maintain your mental health because it gives you an outlet to release the emotions, thoughts, and worries that are plaguing you. The key is to write in detail about your thoughts and feelings just like you would talk about them in a counseling sessi on. I've t aken this practice a step further and started addressing my journal entries to God. This allows me to pour my heart out to God in a way that can make giving things to Him

Everyone I've asked lately "How are you?" has had the same response: "Life has been life-ing!" And I feel that. Lately, life has felt like receiving blow after blow, all while trying to stay grounded in God, take care of your mental health, be there for your loved ones, and chileeee... it is tiring. But while life has been lifing lately, God has also been God-ing! And one thing He reminded me of this week is that what the enemy plans for evil, He will use for our good. This i
