Helping Women Find Their Passion, Purpose and Power in Christ
For years I wore “busy” like a badge of honor, filling my days with more commitments and to-dos than any one person should carry. When I plopped into bed at night, I’d recall the day and think it was a “win” because ninety percent of my checklist was marked off. My calendar was full, but […]
The transition from summer to autumn can come with mixed feelings. If you’re like me, I’m torn between wanting the fun of warm summer nights, swimming at the lake, and enjoying concerts in the park to never end, and at the same I find myself longing for normal routines and the schedules that come with […]
Recently my family went through a difficult season of trial that we didn’t ask for, one that felt like a personal attack, and was completely wrong and unfair. As the people leading the attack spread lies and half-truths, I felt anxious, fearful, and helpless. I felt like a caged animal whose freedom had been taken […]

One by one, the women around me rose, their smiles lighting the sanctuary as the ushers handed each a pink carnation. I stayed glued to my seat, wishing the floor would open and swallow me. Our pastor had just called the moms in the congregation to stand for their annual Mother’s Day recognition. They deserved […]
Mother’s Day is this Sunday! But if you’re a mom reading this, we probably don’t have to remind you. You already know because it’s on your calendar, along with the family appointments, kid’s sports schedules, and your own appointments that you keep track of in that beautiful mind of yours, all while meal-planning, bouncing the […]
I love the ocean. I love everything about the ocean, watching the rolling waves and how they repetitively reach for the shore, inhaling the salty sea air, listening to the seagulls above.
