Advent, the 40 days leading up to Christmas, has been a favorite of mine since childhood. I love the wreath with the candles, the special devotional books, and most of all, the reminder to focus on Jesus. But it wasn’t until my late twenties, sitting in chapel at a Christian University on Ash Wednesday, that […]
When I hit publish on 3 Verses to Tame Your Tongue almost four years ago, I never imagined how many people would relate to my struggle to keep biting words from escaping my mouth. As of today, that post has been shared over 81,500 times! Countless readers have reached out to me, thanking me for […]
Reading through my blog or scrolling through my Instagram feed, it might look like I have this Christian living thing pretty figured out. And while I won’t ever claim to have it “figured out,” I am living more in line with Jesus than I ever have before. But, I want you to know, it’s been […]
Every year I ask God to reveal to me an area I need to grow in personally and spiritually. Over the past few years, I’ve felt prompted to be present, love better, and most recently, pray more. Usually, I’m like Gideon with the fleece (Judges 6:36-40), asking God to confirm what He wants me to […]

Words like, righteousness, new creation, fasting, and renewing your mind where tossed out during sermons as if everyone listening knew what they meant—only I didn’t. Praying Scripture was one of those practices. I heard it recommended […]
“God, reveal to me an area I need to grow in.” I pray these words every year, seeking guidance for my personal and spiritual growth. So far, God has prompted me to be present, love better, and pray more. Usually, I’m like Gideon with the fleece (Judges 6:36-40), asking God to confirm what He […]
Today I’m excited to have Danielle from Free Indeed here to share about praying like Paul. The focus of Paul’s prayers might surprise you! “Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 is a short verse many of us have put to memory and yearn to practice. What makes it even more incredible is that the person […]
Each day my husband and I stared at the million broken pieces of our life, trying to figure out how it could possibly go back together again. The uncertainty of our future weighed heavy, making each day a struggle to get through. And as the days went by, our hope dwindled. We knew God was […]
