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

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

'Tis the season to give thaaanks! And while we should be intentional about cultivating an attitude of gratitude all year round, the reality is, that we tend to get carried away by our day-to-day life, and days like Thanksgiving provide an opportunity for us to pause and really think about what we're grateful for. Journaling is an amazing tool to reflect and engage your thoughts and your memories, especially when you're writing in stream-of-consciousness form. When you write

There’s something about hitting November that brings a strange mix of urgency and reflection. On the one hand, you might feel like there’s not enough time left to work on any of the things you wanted to tackle this year. And on the other hand, you might be feeling the pressure of the countdown to the new year, trying to get as much as you can done in the next two months. Regardless of where you stand right now, I believe that these journaling prompts will help you gain a sens

It's crazy to believe that we're already halfway through 2025!!! Like whaaat?! It's weird because on one hand, it feels like the year is going by super fast, but on the other hand, so much has happened already that it's hard to believe we’re only halfway through the year. But while the weight of these past six months still feels a bit heavy, I can't help but be hopeful that only being halfway means God is still writing our stories for this year. There’s still time for a rede

Happy New Year Love!!! 🎆 I pray your 2025 is off to a great start! If not, no worries, no matter what comes our way this year, God remains our constant, faithful, and consistent help in times of trouble. This is why I want to share some Bible verses with you to cling onto this year. Staying rooted in God's Word is one of the most important ways we can stand firm in our faith no matter what comes our way. Matthew 7:24-27 says this: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of
