Easter: A Time of Victory, Hope, & Life Restored
Why Easter Matters For Christians, across the world Easter is arguably the most blessed and sacred moment our faith rests upon. It is the crux of our beliefs and why we place our hope in God. At the time of Jesus, though, nothing was clear. There were prophecies of the Messiah. There was waiting for the Messiah. There was hope the Messiah would come and rescue the Israelites from Roman oppression. And yet, the rescue God was planning was one that had begun long ago. In Eden. When sin entered the world from two human beings trying to be like God. When two human beings chose to disobey God. From…

Plenty – My 2026 Word of the Year, Part 1
What is a word of the year for? A Word of the Year is a powerful idea, focus, or vision to guide one’s actions and viewpoint throughout the upcoming year. I have adopted this intentional practice the last few years, and it has proved a powerful exercise in keeping my focus and perspective on the Lord’s direction for my life. It has allowed me to step into new and uncomfortable areas of personal and professional growth, such as stepping into “NEW”, my word of the year, in 2025 and being willing to step onto stages and speak professionally on trauma, suicidal crisis, faith, and caregiving. If you want to read…

New Song/ New Thing-My Words of the Year for 2025
For the last 2 years, I’ve adopted the powerful practice of choosing a word phrase for the year. My word(s) of the year for 2025 are: New Song/ New Thing. Keep reading to find out why. Choosing my word of the year for 2025 When I choose a word/phrase for the year, I look for themes in my Bible study and any recurring messages the Lord is revealing to me. What is He trying to communicate? What verse, theme, or mindset is continuing to pop up everywhere I look? During the end of 2024, I continually noticed a similar theme.

Normalize Mental Health Therapy Thru this Powerful Strategy
Let’s Normalize seeking mental health therapy… by talking about it in regular conversations. ➡️ Yes.

Here are some examples of ways to normalize it: “Oh yeah- my therapist has been talking about that too.” “I was at therapy the other day and…” “I’ve been thinking about the conversation I had the other day with my therapist.” Right alongside other conversations: “Oh- I have to tell you this funny thing that happened while I was in line to grab a coffee.”…

An Even If Faith- Mary the Mother of Jesus
I heard a message by Christine Caine, a Christian speaker and author, on Mary the mother of Jesus. “She had to replace her what if with an even if faith.”Her words regarding Mary’s response to the God assignment she was given were powerful. “An Even If faith dispels fear.” These words penetrated my soul as I considered them. Shifting what if this happens or that person responds in that way, etc, etc, to even if this happens God is still on His throne. God is still fighting my battles. God is still the One I worship and choose. Oh how thankful I am for that truth. A Prayer of Focus…

Guest Writer On The Faith To Flourish Blog
I was honored to be a featured guest writer on Dawn Ward’s The Faith to Flourish blog this week. I wrote “Caregiving For Mental Illness During the Holidays” The link to my article is in the article excerpt section of this post. The Holidays Can Be Difficult For caregivers of mental illness, holidays can be especially difficult as you do not get relief from the care you give your loved one. Their need for care doesn’t take a holiday itself. You have added burden also of extra and additional caregiver to-do lists and activities that begin to add to overwhelm and lead you toward exhaustion. They can bring joy but…
