There are hills and valleys all around us. Figuratively the valleys are the low points of life when things just don’t seem to be going right. Of course we ask why? Why me? Why this pain, this pressure? But I believe in order to experience all that the mountain top has to offer we must climb. Continue reading

His arms are open wide. Just waiting. It’s not his job to come to us. He is already there. It’s on us as his children, the appointed ones to come to him. Enter into his gates. When I am lost, he is there. Enter his throne room with thanksgiving. For nothing less than because of Continue reading

The Lord is the author and perfecter of our faith. I think it’s so easy to repeat these common scriptures, but do we actually take the time to digest what this truly means? As we welcome in the new year, its not a date on the calendar that decides what or when the next chapter Continue reading

Every time I step into the thrown room, that’s my moment. When the world around me goes void & all I have is the inner Continue reading

This last year I have spent an absurd amount of time alone & I have learned a thing or two about solitude. When all I had were my thoughts to sit with there were a lot of conclusions I had to come too. I have learned to love my me time, but it wasn’t always Continue reading

I read a book a while ago that talked about the topic of boundaries. The author painted the picture as a fence dividing your yard from mine. A distinct, definitive boundary. Unfortunately, not all boundaries are as visible. In fact most are figurative, which can make it even harder to know where to draw the Continue reading

Coming from a girl whose weight has fluctuated as long as I can remember I have found myself subconsciously attaching my worth to how flat my stomach is or how clear my skin was. ​If I am being honest it’s something I’m still working through. I didn’t realize how much praise I gave my body Continue reading
