When learning about the new identity and calling that the Lord has placed you in is an exciting, fascinating, and terrifying thing. All wrapped into one, it is ever-changing and ever-growing, leaving you in awe of God’s detailed design. For me, becoming a wife and mother has forever been my dream since I’ve been a little girl. And while I love it beyond words, my goodness is it truly humbling. Days you feel on top of the world, others you feel like your barely coming up for air.
God's Healing Power Lies in Rest
What does it mean to sit and be still? Is it actually sitting and doing nothing? Because let’s be honest, there is no way our minds can be still and not think about the hard work day we just had or focus on the stress of paying a bill with a paycheck that barely covers the rent. Maybe your mind and heart are racing with thoughts and feelings of a heartbreak, and you get hit with a wave of tears randomly throughout the day.

How to Have Hope When Life is Hard
Here in the twenty-first century, we have so many great things in our lives—family, friends, and iPhones, just to name a few. But we live with a lot of stress, too, don’t we? Our lives have been turned upside down by an unprecedented pandemic. Social media captures our attention, but the photos of other people’s seemingly excellent, exciting lives twinge our hearts with a little sadness and longing for what we’re missing.

Revival After Divorce
As I sit to write this, putting my past life into words has been a healing journey of saying goodbye to the old me. The old me, who I loved, but am more than okay not seeing again. Someone recently asked me if I could do it all again, would I still marry my ex-husband. That question struck me hard because I honestly didn’t know what I would say. If I hadn’t married him, would there be a lot less pain? Would I have done as much healing without myself and him breaking me down so that God could build me up? I probably will never have the answer, but that’s okay.
