Step back and take time to heal

There are so many people dealing with hurt and pain on levels that have literally knocked them to their knees. We go to family or friends for advice, but come up short and most of the time going in the wrong direction. It is my desire that you take the time to go to the one who can make you whole....

When Faith Feels Fragile: Choosing Grace in Hard Seasons

Image
  There are seasons when faith feels less like confidence and more like endurance. When love is complicated. When answers are unclear. When your heart is pulled in multiple directions and peace feels just out of reach. These moments don’t mean you’ve lost your faith. They mean you are human—trying to love, discern, and trust God in the middle of real-life tension. This reflection is for anyone who is weary, conflicted, or quietly asking God to take over where strength has run out. Especially during this season—when we celebrate light entering a broken world. When Love Is Pulled in Different Directions “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 Some situations don’t come with clean lines or easy answers. Loving well can feel heavy when you’re caught between concern, compassion, and truth. You may want peace for everyone involved but feel powerless to create it. If that’s where you are, be encouraged: you are not failing because you feel to...

The Present of Presence: Slowing Down to Truly Live This Season

Image
There is something about this season that quietly invites us to rush. We rush to meet deadlines. Rush to finish projects. Rush to make everything perfect. And before we know it, the season we were trying so hard to manage has passed us by. Somewhere between calendars and commitments, God gently whispers, “Slow down.” Not because things don’t matter—but because you matter. Give Yourself the Present of Presence We spend so much time giving gifts to others that we forget to give one to ourselves. Presence. Undistracted, intentional presence. Presence with God. Presence with the people we love. Presence with our own hearts. Being present doesn’t require extra time—it requires attention. It’s choosing to put the phone down. Let the to-do list wait. Sit in the moment long enough to feel it. Scripture reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Stillness isn’t inactivity; it’s awareness. It’s recognizing that God is already here, already working, already present with us. Deadlines Don’t ...

When All Your Lights Are Blinking — Finding Strength in the Heavy Seasons

Image
Life has a way of stacking emotions at our feet before we even have a chance to process the last wave. One moment we’re steady, grounded, and managing it all with grace—and the next, our strength is stretched thin and every emotional light on our dashboard is blinking at the same time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying more weight than you should, trying not to burden those around you, or silently navigating emotions because you don’t want to “be too much”—you are not alone. You are human. What I’m learning is this: Emotions don’t make you weak. They make you real. And balancing your weight doesn’t mean carrying it alone. God never asked us to hide our tears or silence our overwhelm. He asked us to bring it to Him. Some days your strength will be at 100%. Other days, you might feel like you’re running on fumes. Both are okay. Both are seen by God. The beauty is that faith works in the middle. Right where the load gets heavy. Right where your heart feels stretched. Right where yo...
