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.

Faith allows me to know that even though I’m often caught unaware by my life circumstances, God never is.  He’s already planned how to work through them for my good (Romans 8:28).  It’s hope of God moving in all things that allows me to move forward with joy and freedom, tackling my issues with faith instead of being dominated by them.

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.

The to-do list is still there, but it no longer owns me—my strength comes from God, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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

When you ask God for quiet, He may provide it—or He may teach you to find Him even in the noise. He is in the silence, but He’s also in the sound.

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.

If we wait for everything to be convenient and easy, we may never go—sometimes God calls us to step forward when it doesn’t feel like the right time.

Seeing someone else’s blind spot is easy. Seeing your own? That’s where real growth begins.

Joy dwells deep within me and is not dependent upon circumstances happening around me.

Where God's Spirit is present, there is freedom from every form of bondage.

Spring is a wonderful season to venture into—but it’s also a lot of hard work.

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

“Haunting and amazing, Pompeii’s silent streets remind us how precious—and precarious—our short trip on earth really is.”

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