I’ve always had good intentions in life. Intentions to make God #1 in my life – the center of my very existence. I plan on waking up earlier the next day to spend some one on one time with Him… but then I keep hitting snooze on my alarm clock. I have intentions to encourage […] Read more…

Facing Fear through Prayer
It is what gave a beautiful young queen boldness to approach her king in order to petition for the lives of her people. It is what gave a young shepherd boy the boldness to speak against a giant that was taunting his people and his God and bring him down with a few stones. It […] Read more…
Dropping the Comparison Game
It starts when we are just small children. We are happy with our own toys until we see someone else has something better. We try to steal theirs and when our parents take it away we yell “no fair!”. And although we mature and grow up and learn to be thankful for what we have […] Read more…
The battlefield of the mind
Sometimes it doesn’t take a storm to destroy us, a friend to betray us, or a sin to make us fall… all it takes is just one little thought. Physical battles take place on a battlefield with armies, with weapons, and with fire. But spiritual battles often take place in the battlefield of our mind […] Read more…
Press Pause: Take a break from life
I have always wanted to be superwoman. The girl who’s always on top of it. Ready to save the world. Do anything and everything anyone ever asks of her.

How does a […] Read more…
“I want to be popular”
We live in a culture that is obsessed with self. Just look at the magazine covers as you stand in a grocery line. Scan through your instagram or facebook feed. Watch an episode of a reality tv show. And you’ll hear what everyone is trying to say. Maybe not verbally, but still very clearly. “It’s […] Read more…
“I’m not the person I want to be”
Can I be really honest with all of you? Sometimes I really don’t like myself. I wake up in the morning and I don’t like the reflection of the girl I see in the mirror. Not because I’m having a bad hair day (although that may be the case at times) but because I’m far […] Read more…
When you have too much on your plate
We live in a fast-paced world. A world that thrives on getting things done as quick as possible. We run around from one activity to another. Fill our planners with things to do until there is no time left in our day. Keep ourselves on a constant treadmill without taking any time to get off […] Read more…
Elijah Moments
Have you ever felt like you finally reached the end of yourself? That there was nothing worth waking up the next morning for? That nothing good could possibly come out of you or the situation that you are in? That maybe the world might just be a better place without you in it? If you […] Read more…
