As we start our journey in 2021, I encourage us to move forward with holy expectation, confidence, and hope. As I shared last week, He makes all things new. No matter how long we may have endured hardship, He can make us new. No matter how long we have been stuck in shame, He can […]
When the snow began to fall on Christmas Eve, my heart leaped with excitement and hope. The snowflakes that soon covered everything in white, brought peace. It reminded me that as this year comes to an end, despite all the not-so-good we have endured, Jesus can make all things new. Behold, I am making all […]
Merry Christmas, friends. Whether or not you will sit around the table together with family or not this Christmas, the greatest gift you have at your table is Jesus Christ. I can just picture us sitting around the table together with the most honored guest, Jesus. And He is more than just a guest, really. […]
Perfect love can be found. While a Cinderella story may sound captivating, there is nothing that will draw us in like the true love of the Father. It’s a love we can keep. It’s a love that is endless. It’s a love that is true. To the one who doesn’t feel loved, can I encourage […]

I was pruning my roses today and couldn’t help to think about how the Father refines and prunes our lives. There is hope in the process because we know fruit will come. Growth requires pruning. Pruning requires cutting back. Even in the pruning, there is beauty – just like these roses I cut while pruning […]
I got to travel this past week and was inspired by the girl next to me on the plane. She shared some of the same uncertainty I was feeling yet her words carried boldness and light that encouraged me and sparked hope. Our words and actions matter. We can be hope to those around us. […]
Don’t miss the beauty of the present. I have heard more than one friend mention to enjoy the journey and to embrace the “now” of the moment. So many times, we want to just get to a desired destination, but there is so much beauty along the way that the Father wants us to embrace. […]
