This is why growth is so important. Without bringing God into our corner daily, the temptation for sin will be too great for us to withstand on our own. We need His daily reminder of WHO we are. The more we move away from that reminder of who we are, the easier it is to... Continue Reading →
The biggest mistake I ever made
Growing in Jesus is one of the most important things we can do. It keeps us out of religious-pharisee territory, and helps us remain our authentic selves. Once we stop growing, and get lazy (present company included), we have to start "faking it." That is, until the inevitable burn-out and breaking-point ensues in our faith.... Continue Reading →
Finding Your Authentic Self
After being "so done" with people-pleasing, and being used by people, I went on a journey of what I thought would make me happy. And I choose isolation and selfishness.

Daughters of the King…
He loved us while we were yet sinners. Who does that? What kind of God does that?! That tells us something about who He is, and how he sees us: priceless. And sin can't, and will never change that. The beautiful thing is, when we come to Him He changes us from the insideout so... Continue Reading →
The Cost of a King
I woke up one morning a few weeks back completely overwhelmed by the love of God. I keep trying to wrap my mind around this thought: the pitiful creatures that we were, God felt we were worth the price of His perfect son. I can't even! 🤯The God of the universe sees us with an... Continue Reading →
When we love ourselves through our savior's eyes we can love other people the way we were meant to. ~Anne Day
To the Young Lady who called my son a “loser…”
I don't think that you intended for your words to have an impact, and you were probably joking. But I want you to know how your words changed something… just not in the way you might imagine...
