Sharing this because I know I can turn a quiet season into a whole investigation of myself 😅 Sometimes I need to put that energy into actually spending time with God instead of trying to figure out why it doesn’t feel like it used to. #faithjourney #christian #trustingGod #growth #heali

Sometimes you’re going to have to be okay with a conversation getting a little awkward. I think that’s part of what renewing your mind can look like in real life. There are little things we can do our whole lives without ever thinking to ask God if they need to change. A manager once told me somet

I’m sharing this because I needed the reminder myself. I can love my family like crazy and still catch myself saying “one second” when I have no idea what I’m even looking for on my phone. Lately I’ve been asking God to help me notice when I’m doing that. So when I catch myself doing it, I leave my

Sharing this because I know I’m not the only one who can turn a little self-reflection into picking myself apart. And sometimes we carry that into prayer, like we need to give God a progress report on everything we handled badly and what we should’ve figured out by now. We can be honest with Him ab

I’ve never been this close to a red-shouldered hawk for this long. I kept expecting it to fly away, but it just stayed, and I got to slow down and really look at it. Moments like this make me wonder what else I’m missing when I’m rushing through my day. I want to leave more room to be amazed by God

I think this is one of those things that’s easier to notice in someone else. Then you start paying attention to how quickly you explain away anything that challenges what you believe, and it gets a little uncomfortable. Definitely something worth bringing to God, because I don’t want to only be ope

I wonder what God felt when the child He had known forever finally called Him Father. #poetry #Faith #christian #poem #Jesus

It’s hard to stay open to something new when you’re still emotionally attached to what you hoped would happen. Give yourself some grace with that. ❤️ #FaithJourney #GodsPlan #Christian #scripture #Purpose

Honestly, it feels a little uncomfortable sharing this because I’m still in it. I miss how personal everything felt in the beginning, and sometimes I wonder how I can spend so much time learning about God and still miss feeling close to Him. I think I’ve gotten so afraid of calling something God

I realized I usually pray about my habits either before I’m trying to do better or after I’m disappointed that I didn’t follow through. But I haven’t really practiced bringing God into it while it’s happening. Like, while I’m sitting there making excuses or talking myself out of something, I can st

I wrote this poem because becoming a mother brought up things I thought I had already dealt with. Watching my daughters with their dad makes me so grateful that they get to know a kind of love I spent a long time wishing for. For a long time, I carried a lot of anger toward my father. I’m farther a

I wrote this thinking about how I can believe God is holding me and still feel myself bracing for something to go wrong. I’ve spent so much time imagining how things could fall apart that sometimes I don’t know what to do with being loved through them. I’m learning to bring Him the things I keep tr

I wrote this thinking about my daughters and how I can be so excited to see who they become but I can’t help but want more time with who they are right now. I love watching them figure things out and hearing what’s on their minds. Then something they used to need my help with becomes something they

The more you talk to God throughout your day, the more you begin to include Him in the parts of your life you used to carry alone. Tell Him what’s bothering you, what you’re grateful for, even what you don’t know how to explain. You don’t have to find beautiful words to be honest with Him. He alrea

I think some part of me will always be standing in the kitchen with a baby on my hip, cutting fruit into pieces smaller than my fingernail. Even when their hands look like mine. Even when I’m the one visiting. I wonder how many ordinary afternoons I’ve already begun to miss. #poetry #moth

Poem: The Author of My Becoming I don’t think I could ever fully explain how much reading the Bible has changed me. There are parts of who I used to be that I didn’t even realize needed to change until I began spending time in God’s Word. And what’s incredible to me is that I didn’t sit down wit

One thing I’ve been learning in my own walk with God is that spiritual maturity should make us wayyyy more humble, not more proud with how much we know. The longer we follow Jesus, the more aware we should become of how much patience, mercy, and grace we’ve personally needed along the way. It’s eas

If you’re going through a difficult season right now, I really hope you give yourself some grace along the way. I know how exhausting it can be when you have a lot on your mind and you’re trying to go about your day while carrying things that other people may not even know about. I’m right there wi
