Stillness Is Still Doing
I’m finding that being in a season of stillness can feel incredibly quiet. Maybe it’s because so much of stillness involves waiting. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been particularly good at waiting. When I’m waiting on God for an answer, direction, change, healing, or simply the next step, my mind has…

Rising From The Pit
For the past three months, I have been missing in action. My absence started in July. July is supposed to be a month of celebration for me. It is my birthday month, a time to look forward to another year of life and thank God for the gift of being here. But since 2006, July has also carried grief. My…

The God Who Sees Me
There are times when I feel unseen. I can be in a crowded room, surrounded by people, and still feel that ache in my heart. It is a strange kind of loneliness, the kind that does not always come from being physically alone. Sometimes it comes from wondering if anyone truly notices the quiet work,…

💞 Love Goes With You
A Near-Death Experience, the Presence of Jesus, and the Love That Remains Wednesday morning on March 18th began like any other ordinary day. My husband, my mother-in-law, and I were finishing breakfast together. Nothing felt unusual at first. I took the last sip of my coffee, set my cup down, and looked at my husband.…

💔 When Grief Comes
Grief is something every person experiences, yet no two journeys through it look exactly the same. Sometimes grief comes through the death of someone we love. Other times it arrives through illness, unexpected change, broken relationships, or seasons of life that feel heavier than we ever imagined they would be. Grief has a way of…

👩🏽💻 When Work Becomes Worship
For many people, the word worship immediately brings to mind a familiar picture. A church sanctuary. Hands lifted. Voices raised together in song. Music swelling as hearts turn toward heaven. And yes, that is worship. But worship is not limited to a song. Worship can also look like quiet obedience. Faithful work. A heart that offers the…

🔥 Trusting God in the “Even If”
There is a kind of faith that is easy to declare when everything feels possible. God can heal.God can restore.God can turn it around. I believe that with my whole heart. There is nothing too big or too small for Him. He is able. He is powerful. He is still performing miracles. But here is…
