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 session. I've taken 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 t

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

If you've ever been in a place where you feel like you're struggling to open up to God about something that's bothering you, you're not alone. Too often, as Christians, we try to skip to the part where we're full of faith, believing and trusting in God's plan for our lives. However, I don't believe we get to that place on our own. I think God leads us there after we're open and honest with Him about how we feel. So in this blog post, I'll be sharing 7 journaling prompts to g

"Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, and then he said to his disciples, 'Let us go back to Judea.'" ~ John 11:5-7 I've read the story of Lazarus many times, but I've never caught the intentional way in which John wrote this chapter until now. I highly recommend you read the whole thing, especially if you've been waiting on God in an area of your life, and you're low-key starting to

Entrepreneurship is hands down one of the hardest journeys I've ever been on. The amount of faith, resilience, and tenacity that it takes to keep going (even when things look bleak) is just so much more than I could have ever imagined. And yet, no matter how many times I've tried walking away, I always feel led back to this journey because it is where my heart is the most content. I've recently been unpacking the idea of "being graced" for something, and it's made me realiz

I’ve been working on a new project lately that has me excited and full of hope for the future! But there was a point this week where I caught myself procrastinating and pushing back working on a task for this project. I had no reason as to why; the task wasn’t difficult, but I could feel myself running away from it for some reason. So I sat with God to unpack what was going on, and He led me to Numbers 13-14. These chapters recount the time Moses sent some spies into the p

I've been meditating on various parts of Joseph's story lately, and one of the new revelations I got from it is how every single season of trial Joseph encountered positioned him to fulfill His destiny. He had to be sold into slavery, serve in Potiphar’s house, be falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife, and be thrown into prison, where he would meet the man who would eventually mention his name to Pharaoh. That encounter was essential for Joseph to become second in command in Egy

When life starts life-ing and we feel like we haven't caught a break in a long time, it can be hard to find things to be grateful for. Hard seasons can drain our energy and narrow our view until all we see are the problems in front of us. But even in the middle of our trials, God is always with us (Joshua 1:9). Think about how God provided for and took care of the Israelites while they wandered in the desert for 40 years. They didn't have Thanksgiving back then, but I bet eve
