🙏🏻 Last night, our community was reminded just how quickly life can change. As a tornado touched down in our town, fear and uncertainty filled the air. Yet through it all, God’s Word brings comfort: “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear…”

📖 “I am the vine; you are the branches.” 🌳 Being a branch isn’t always easy. Sometimes I want to take control, fix things myself, and figure everything out. Sometimes God’s pruning hurts. Sometimes waiting on Him is difficult. But branches aren’t responsible for producing fruit on their own. Th

📖 Matthew 5:3 “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.” 🙏🏻 Jesus isn’t talking about being financially poor. Being “poor in spirit” means recognizing your spiritual need for God. It’s the understanding that we cannot save ourselves, fix

📖James 1:18 •God chose us •He brought us into new life •We belong to Him •We are treasured by Him So often when chaos hits, our first reaction is: • “Where is God?” • “Why is this happening?” • “Does He even see me?” 🙌🏻 But verse 18 pulls us back to truth: God already claimed us a

The fruit of the Spirit isn’t something we fake. It’s something God grows within us when we stay close to Him. Love when it’s hard. Peace in chaos. Patience when frustrated. Kindness when hurt. Self-control when emotions rise. 🍇That kind of fruit only comes from walking with Jesus.

🥹 God’s peace isn’t dependent on my circumstances. It’s not something I have to earn or create on my own. His peace goes beyond what I can understand and guards my heart and mind when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming. So thankful for a God who gives rest in the middle of the storm. 🙌

🙌🏻 Even when it’s hard choose what honors God. 🙌🏻Choose to have peace over being “right”. 🙌🏻 Protect your peace. Protect your relationships. Choose love over division. 🙌🏻 Show more grace, be more forgiving.

📖 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 God gave each of us a role. Some plant, some water, but only God brings the growth. 🌱 🙌🏻 Stay faithful to what He has called you to do and trust Him with the outcome.

✝️ Philippians 3:3 “For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort.” This is what I took from verse 3: God wants our hearts, not just religious performance. It’s about giving Him the

Not everyone in your life will truly be in your corner. Sometimes the deepest hurt doesn’t come from strangers -it comes from people you trusted, loved, prayed for, and let close. Reading Psalm 41 & Psalm 55 reminded me that even David knew the pain of betrayal, disappointment, and realizing no

📖 Matthew 11 Come with your exhaustion. Come with your doubts. Come with your burdens. Come with your questions. 🫶🏻 Sometimes God doesn’t move the way we thought He would. Sometimes He doesn’t meet our expectations the way we imagined. But blessed is the person who still trusts Him anyway!

Matthew 5:43–44 “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” •He doesn’t say wait until they apologize first, invite toxic behavior back into your life, or pretend they didn’t cause pain. ✝️ What He does call us to is releasing personal vengeance and refusing to let hatred take

God is not far away. He is near, even when we don’t feel it. 🤍 If your heart feels distant, call out to Him. Seek Him. He’s not hiding from you. Take a look at your life- are your choices lining up with Him, or pulling you away? 🙌🏻 He’s closer than you think. Don’t ignore His call. 📞 📖

Fear tries to shake me, whispering lies and filling my heart with doubt. But I don’t belong to fear. I belong to HIM! 🙌🏻 📖 When fear rises, truth stands stronger. I will trust His voice over my feelings. 😭By the grace of God, I am righteous. I am who HE says I am—chosen, loved, forgiven, a

Acts 16 They didn’t wait for freedom to praise, they praised in the middle of it. 🙌🏻 Worship isn’t based on your circumstances, it’s rooted in who God is. ✝️ And sometimes… your praise in the dark is what God uses to break chains.

📖 Proverbs 25:4-5 Think about how silver is refined- when you heat it, all the impurities rise to the top and are removed. What’s left is pure and beautiful, ready to be shaped into something valuable. 🙌🏻 God refines like silver- removing what doesn’t belong so something beautiful can be made

We’re quick to say “I don’t know”…even when we do. Fear, doubt, or just not wanting to deal with it. ✝️ But Proverbs 24:12 reminds us—God sees our hearts. We can’t hide behind excuses. ✝️ And Matthew 24 calls us to stay alert, be ready, and live faithfully. Not hiding. Not avoiding. 🙌🏻 Bu

🙌🏻 Saved by grace, through faith-not by rules, not by striving, not by getting everything “just right.” 🥹 What a relief that it doesn’t rest on me, but on Him. 🙌🏻 So grateful for a God who meets me with mercy, not a checklist.

🪴I love spring! 🙌🏻Moments like this remind me to slow down and notice the quiet beauty right in front of me. God’s creation is so full of simple, peaceful blessings- sometimes we just have to look for them.

🪴🙌🏻 Garden season is here, and I’m so ready for it-fresh air, warm sunshine, and those long, full days. It’s a little workout too, because gardening is no small task! Thank You, Lord, for the rain, the sun, and the air. Praying this year’s garden is truly blessed. 📖 Psalm 1:3
