Welcome!
I hope this is a space where you can relax and relate. Grab your favorite mug, fill it up, and let’s chat like friends.
Who determines your worth?
PSA:Applicable to men and women… If you have to prove your worth to the opposite sex, they are NOT from God. Don’t walk, RUN AWAY! I never understood the statement, “People only hurt you as much as you allow them.” That is the most factual statement I’ve ever...
Saved by Grace through Faith
Want to be saved but don’t know what to do? Just believe! Acts 16:30-31, the jailer asks Paul and Silas…”Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.” Believe your salvation is a gift...
Moving forward, not on
I'm just a girl standing before a situation, demanding closure. Most often, I get it. I measure my success to be 99%, but this time, I laid my cards on the table, walked out, and put the situation in God's hands. I danced in the light for the first week or so, feeling...
Revival: Powerful Prophetic Word
I don't know about you, but by the end of 2020, I was WORN OUT! Honestly, it started sometime in the fall for me, and by October, I had enough sense to step down from all my positions in the community and church because I knew I needed rest. I would tell my friends...
Gratitude
2020 has given me so much to be thankful for! In a time when fear seems to be crippling our families, our community, and our nation, I have chosen a different perspective. Chalk it up to naivety or trust in the Lord; I have enjoyed 2020. Here are a few things I am...
I Am
The sun rises and sets every day; you can always count on that! I love living at the beach. If I didn't know better, I might even begin to believe and argue that salt and sand ran through my veins. My people know I run, not walk, to the beach when I am uptight and...
Not my will, but Yours
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:42 I chose to follow Jesus in 2011 and have spent the last nine years wrestling with submission and letting God have His way in my life. Eight years...
Time heals all pain
They say time heals all pain. I would say that is only true if you know how to feel pain in the first place. For me, my go-to is to allow the business of life to numb the pain of losing someone close. For so long, I would busy myself to avoid the pain; I wouldn’t...
You’re 15…
Happy Birthday to the young man who captures my heart every time he smiles! Who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes. Thank you for being a light to me and all of those around you…promise me you’ll always keep shining bright. A letter to my sweet boy! Dear...
To all the moms
This Mother’s Day may look a lot different for you this year. Instead of getting that gray root touch-up, pretty manicure, lash fill, and botox fix so you can look on point in your IG Mother’s Day post, you’re probably spraying a little root cover, painting your...
Pressing in…
I don’t know about you, but the end of a year usually culminates in a cleansing of sorts: cleaning out the closets, the fridge, the pantry, the office, and, of course, the homeschool area. All these things usually happen during the week between Christmas and New Year,...
Goodbye 2019…
This year has been quite the year. I think I’ve started 12 posts and only posted two. But that’s ok. It is better to spend time healing than to get lost in busyness and miss the important things. I won’t MISS this decade, but I am still thankful for all I’ve learned...
Rise up
I don’t know where I went in 2018, but when I say I stepped into sin, I went somewhere foreign. Often, you will hear someone say I “fell away” from God or I “fell from Grace,” and those statements are true, I guess, but you always make a decision – to do what is right...
Christmas Magic
One of my fondest childhood holiday memories is getting snuggly in the car, Christmas music blaring from the tape player, riding around listening to mom yell at dad to slow down, and taking in all the holiday beauty around us. I cannot remember the first time we did...
Thankful…Hurricane Michael
I am sitting in Canton, Georgia, with some dear college friends who were gracious to open their home to Aidan and me while we ran, rather quickly, away from Hurricane Michael late Monday evening. The storm, upgraded to a category 4 this morning, will be approaching...
Happy Birthday, to me
Yesterday, I celebrated 38 years of life. If you asked me ten years ago if, at 38, I would be divorced, doing the single parenting thing, and rediscovering myself in a different career, I would have laughed myself into a drunken stupor. But the reality is, here...
Unrealistic Expectations
In my world, birthdays are a big deal. I start celebrating September 1st and go well into October if the party is right. I ensure everyone knows it's my birthday, so there is no excuse to forget me. Don't judge me - I love birthdays. So, seven months into my...
Festival Recovery
It’s become a tradition that every Labor Day weekend is spent at Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach. Their line up of country music artists is always epic and it’s not something you want to miss. However, after being in the sun for 10 hours a day for 3 days straight,...
Don’t forget the birthdays
You know the old saying, Practice what you Preach! That is even more important after you are divorced. I know, I know. You thought you were getting rid of your significant other, but they just became the one person you should treat the best. I want to submit to you...
New favorite cleansing product
I don’t know about you, girlfriend, but I am religious about washing my face. It doesn’t matter where I have been or when my head hits the pillow; I am washing my face and brushing my teeth. I love adding a new element to my routine!!! So, let me introduce you to the...
