I’m a house flipper. That means I search for the ugliest homes in the best neighborhoods and turn them into something beautiful. Where others see mess, money, and stress, I see possibilities… and I see crazy correlations between renovating a home and renovating a soul.

Is misery ever necessary? Could God be protecting us from something we cannot yet see?

Joy isn’t found in the absence of suffering, but in remembering who Jesus is and what He has done for us.

Ever have one of those days when your minds feels like a browser with too many tabs open? I sure have! And the holidays—withall their extra obligations and preparations—tend to land squarely in that category for me.

If you’ve ever lain awake worrying about your grown child, wondering where you went wrong, you’re not alone. Many parents struggle silently when you can’t fix your adult child’s pain, no matter how much you long to help. We all carry unspoken dreams for our children. We imagine them steady, happy, and purposeful. But when life circumstances interrupt that vision (such as depression, addiction, distance, or pain), it can shake us to the core.

“This awful moment wasn’t going to be the end of my story. When life feels impossibly hard, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever get easier. But in the very place where I fell apart, God began to rebuild something beautiful."

Even at night when my thoughts trouble me, I will bless the Lord… but learning to release control was not as easy as I wanted it to be.

Our life is but a vapor, but it will have true meaning when we look to Jesus for everything.

You are my Calm amidst the storm, and I know You will never forsake me—not now, not tomorrow, not ever.

When you feel like you’re not enough, remember: your worth isn’t defined by rejection or circumstances. True strength and peace come from anchoring your identity in Christ’s unshakable love.

Tired of carrying it all on your own? God is near, ready to help shoulder the weight and bring peace where you need it most.

What I thought would be the adventure of a lifetime became a mirror of the shame I had carried for decades.

As worship continued and the next song began, I was reminded how Jesus provides true freedom to those who follow Him...

Peace doesn’t come from perfect balance—it comes from releasing what was never ours to carry.

Some days I don't feel like I am enough.... Not good enough. Not loved enough. Not worthy enough.

In those seasons of indecision, longing, or waiting, it’s easy to miss the truth

I struggled with the cross after Jonathan died. Still, the Cross whispered truth.

The enemy is crafty, twisting truth into lies—but God’s Word is stronger, a light that scatters the darkness.

I didn’t know why this was happening, but God did. Looking back, I see how He turned my deepest pain into unexpected blessings.

I sat back and read the words—harsh and bitter, just like the storm raging inside me.
