These last few months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually because of one simple prayer. A prayer I don’t know why I continually repeat. A prayer that is constantly on my heart. “Break my heart for what breaks Yours”. And God has answered that prayer, because heartbroken I […] Read more…

On your deathbed {what will matter?}
We live in a world of “here and now” and sometimes we forget that there is a bigger picture. A greater purpose. A specific reason for every single beat of our heart. We focus so much on the external, temporary things of life and get caught up in worldly pursuits that we forget the reason […] Read more…
Deciding how your story will end…
You didn’t get to choose what country you were born in. You didn’t get to choose your background. You didn’t get to choose the family that raised you. You didn’t even get to choose your name. You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…
Searching for “something more”
I will be happy when… I marry the man of my dreams. I can afford to buy that Lamborghini. I live in that big house with a white picket fence. I get my dream job. I check everything off my bucket list. I have that important title I’ve been climbing up the corporate ladder for. […] Read more…
You Will Fail
I hate to break it to you, especially this early in the day but you’re going to fail in life. Very encouraging, I know. But please keep on reading. It’ll get better, I promise. 😉 So many of us are scared of that word: failure. The likelihood that we will not succeed at something. It’s […] Read more…
“I’d rather live for myself”
Sometimes I wonder… What if Mary said she couldn’t give birth to Jesus because the possible judgment and ridicule she’d have to face would be too much for her to bear? What if Moses said he wouldn’t lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the Promised Land because he wasn’t eloquent with his words and […] Read more…
Don’t be the “Average” Christian
Sometimes I wonder what Christians would look like if they stopped reciting the scriptures they have memorized in their head and start living by them, literally. If instead of spouting out words when they seem to fit the occasion, we turn those words into action. Because often times I see so many discouraged, purposeless, fearful, […] Read more…
What’s on YOUR Resumé?
If I was looking for a great group of friends to depend on I probably wouldn’t choose any of Jesus’ disciples, they all ran from Him when He needed them the most. (Matthew 26:56) If I was looking for someone to represent our nation in public, I probably wouldn’t choose Moses. He had a speaking […] Read more…
I’m no Mother Theresa but I Can Change the World
When I was a little girl I thought I could change the world. There was a fire burning deep inside that couldn’t be put out. I would lie in my bed and dream about all the ways I could reach out to those around me. I would stay up late crying out and praying for […] Read more…
Going Through the Motions
Some days I feel like I’m living my life to the fullest. Making the most of every second, every minute, every day. Other days I feel like I’m just taking up space. Some days I don’t even wait for my alarm clock to wake me up, I get up bright and early on my own, […] Read more…
