I am on a transformative journey, learning to find peace and abundance in life's interruptions. I’m leaning into the power of flexibility and the unexpected joy it brings, even when plans go astray. Embrace the beauty of spontaneity and the wisdom of leaving room for the unexpected in your daily life.

Today was a hard day. I seem to have trouble accepting the fact that some days are just that, especially with little ones at home. I tried to fight it, and still be productive until I decided to surrender. There is peace to be found in surrendering to God and His power is made perfect in weakness.

The struggle is real! I am working hard at overcoming negative thought patterns and I am seeing so much improvement. Asking the Lord for help to recognize my negative thought-life and stay above it has been everything. Learning to embrace what is, and not bending reality has helped too. It’s truly been a perspective shift. I am grateful for everything the Lord is teaching me through it all.

Turning forty has left me feeling reflective. I feel so blessed to have escaped to Miami for a few days with my husband. While I intended to do nothing, but lay on the beach, I am learning that true rest for me is actually much more active in nature. For me, rest means being present and maintaining healthy habits, even while on vacation.

In a world filled with self-doubt and inner critics, conquering negative self-talk can be a daily battle. If you've ever wondered how to silence that unrelenting voice inside your head, here are four practical steps that have helped me in my journey to self-compassion.

Life can be a bit of a rollercoaster as a mom of five! This was a hectic morning, and I can talk so harshly to myself. Thankfully the Lord interrupted my thoughts and reminded me to be gentle. I’m learning to embrace my imperfections and practice self-compassion.

I pray my daughters know how deeply loved they are and where their worth and value come from. In a world that emphasizes looks and accomplishments, it’s easy to forget. This is a letter to remind them they are seen, loved, and treasured by the Lord.

There are many voices vying for our attention on any given day. There are experts in every field, with conflicting advice. It’s hard to know who to listen to. The truth is there is only one voice that matters and His voice often goes against the grain. I’m learning to trust that voice again and recognize it’s whispers.

What if all the distractions and hard parts of your life are a subtle sign from the Lord, telling you to let go? I think the Lord may be gently teaching me this very thing through a challenging and beautiful baby.

I’ve been feeling lonely. Left-behind really. As difficult as this is, I’m learning that feelings of loneliness unite us all.

I went to bed with four children and woke up with five. A year and a half later, I am still reeling from this reality and all the ways it has changed our family. Most importantly, I am grateful to a God whose ways are so much higher than I could ask think, or imagine.
