The Hope of Advent
Christmas was always special to me growing up. It didn’t matter how awful my year was or what I was going through, there was some joy in the air. There was such a palpable, real holiness to the season that I could feel. The magic in the lights and the tree, the coziness of a … Continue reading “The Hope of Advent”
What Is Biblical Womanhood?
What does “Biblical womanhood” look like to you? When you hear those words, what comes to mind? Do you picture a woman tucking her kids into bed, cleaning her sink? Maybe you see the Proverbs 31 lady rising before dawn. Maybe Jesus shows you a picture of yourself, right where you are, in the very … Continue reading “What Is Biblical Womanhood?”
Disobedience: Why We Have The Bible Today
My Bible is one of my prized possessions. Nothing brings me peace quite like sitting down and meeting God in its pages. What a beautiful thing we so easily take for granted, access to a Bible. They’re easy to find on Amazon or on the shelves of Barnes and Noble, yet in other countries in … Continue reading “Disobedience: Why We Have The Bible Today”
Faith
I used to pray for unshakeable faith. I wanted to be steadfast in belief that God would always come through, never doubting His goodness.

For The Crushed In Spirit
Two years ago a pastor and mental health advocate I adored died by suicide. When I read the news I wept. He was such a strong, powerful voice for those who loved Jesus and also struggled with depression. In the days that followed I was mortified to see speakers and influencers denounce him and say … Continue reading “For The Crushed In Spirit”
Of Hopes And Dreams
I have wanted to be a writer as far back as I can remember. Poetry, investigative journalism, novels… I just wanted to write. Books inspired me, grew me, and kept me alive. In my darkest and loneliest times I had Jesus and books. I started writing books as a preteen when I learned that Christopher … Continue reading “Of Hopes And Dreams”
The Hidden Pain Behind Mother’s Day
I wrote this post a few years ago on my old blog, but I felt led to share it again. This was written because I’ve met many other women who were raised in abusive homes struggle with Mother’s Day. There’s so many inspirational posts for new moms, great moms, those who’ve lost their moms, but … Continue reading “The Hidden Pain Behind Mother’s Day”
When Shame Writes The Story
If you’ve participated in a church community for any length of time, you’ve likely heard the story of the woman at the well. The beautiful story is found in John 4 and usually has these highlights: Samaritan. Adulteress. Unworthy. Woman. Sinner. Shame. Shame. Shame. Anytime I hear or read the word “shame”, I get that … Continue reading “When Shame Writes The Story”
Prisms and Purpose
I’ve got this prism that is eternally smudged. I ordered it in hopes that it would somehow elevate our cluttered mess of a dining room into one of those Waldorf forest homeschools where kids keep all their Montessori materials sorted in rainbow colored sets and listen attentively to poetry as they finish watercoloring their nature … Continue reading “Prisms and Purpose”
