Don’t Look Back

Do you ever feel like you face the same struggles over and over again? Like you can't stop the cycle of sin or shame in your life?

I felt like that this week. But God so gently encouraged me (as He always does) to take a different approach and stop looking back. 

He is doing a new thing (Isaiah 43) and it is up to us to look up and see the goodness He is working on in our lives.

Friends Who Pray Together Stay Together

Have you ever wanted to start a prayer group? God kept putting the idea of a prayer group on my heart and over the past year I’ve watched Him do powerful things in this small space where two or more are gathered.

Today I have my two friends Emily and Lily on the podcast as we discuss what God has done in our friendship and through our prayers. 

We are celebrating this 100th episode with a giveaway!! If you entered, please go check my Instagram page to see the winner!

Waiting Well

What I've found is that most of life is spent in the waiting. We wait on God as He does His work in our lives, and a lot of times, that looks like prayers unanswered. Moments of pouring our hearts out to Him and sitting in the silence. But how do we wait well? How do we wait with expectant hope? 

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite devotions from "Quieted by His Love" called Trust in the Waiting. My prayer is that it encourages you to wait well, to wait with hope and confidence, and to wait with gratitude that this is the time where you grow even closer to your Savior.

Struggling with Self Doubt

Hi friend,

Have you ever struggled with self doubt? Not knowing who you really are or if you're on the right path? Sometimes, we even doubt God's love for us or if He is pleased with us.

Today I want to share with you some quotes from a book I'm reading that has helped me see with more clarity why I go through these periods of doubt and what to do about it.

 

Pull up a seat and join me as we talk about losing ourselves and what that looks like as we walk with Jesus.

Making Big Decisions with God

This week I've had some big decisions on my plate, and I'm sure you can relate to that uneasy feeling of...am I doing the right thing?!

Today I want to share with you some steps I take when facing a big decision. God wants our heart at the end of the day, and the more we invite Him in to each and every part of our decision making process, the more we will see the fruit of His will in our lives. 

Be encouraged that big decisions don't have to be terrible, they can actually feel really good and fulfilling! God will lead you my friend.

Living Victoriously When Life Isn’t What You Expect

Do you ever feel like you are living a version of your life you never expected or wanted?

You know the Christian life is a victorious one, but you are struggling to even make it through your days.

Friend, I can SO relate! I have been walking through a very tough season of health challenges with not many answers...but I have a message of hope to share with you today to bring you back to God's will for your life.

You CAN live a victorious life in Christ, and it starts how you choose to fight this battle. 

Can God Stop Loving Me?

Have you wondered if God can ever stop loving you? Most of the time I am asking this question out of fear. Fear that somewhow He could stop loving me.

But friend, there is a much better response. Once we accept that His love can never change, we are free to worship, to love, and to stop the hustle that the world slams in our face.

Join me today as I invite you to accept His love, and to walk in the rhythm of rest.
