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.

When fear and comparison creep in, what if the answer isn’t control—but trust? Pray, then act. God is always trustworthy.

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

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

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

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

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.

God wants each of us to embark on a beautiful, amazing journey, but too often we settle for treading the same old, well-worn road.

I have found one of the harder challenges in life is learning to reconcile who you thought you would be with who you actually are.
