So it has been about a year since I last updated my blog. If you don’t know, about this time last year, God completely turned mine and my husband’s world upside down with a sudden shift. It was a shift we had been laboring in prayer for with a lot of tears and a lot …
“he who wins souls is wise”
Recently the Lord has been speaking to me personally and through influences around me about personal evangelism. I love anything to do with outreach, sharing my faith, and engaging in practical acts of love and service that communicate the heart of God to the world around me. I am passionate about discipleship and getting to …
position, push, pray
“So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.” 1 Kings 18:42 NLT I love reading about Elijah! He was one of the most powerful prophets in the Old Testament, solely because of His …
staying hungry & filled.
"Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.” Leviticus 6:13 NLT Have you ever felt that your hunger for God comes and goes? That maybe some days, your inner fire burns a little brighter than others? Why does our desire for the Lord come and …
the waiting room- part two.
If you missed my last blog post, I would encourage you to read that one, Here. Then follow up with this one. 🙂 On my last post I talked about finding ourselves in seasons of waiting, and although difficult, what the Lord does within us during that time, is priceless. I shared a few things the …
the waiting room- part one.
I have been in what some call "the waiting room" for over a year now. You know, it starts with a vision of where God wants to take you and what He has anointed you to do. The desire to move forward into that calling is refreshed and renewed, but instead of walking us into …
How can I put Myself on display, if you’re not on display too?
Recently I was on a walk, talking to Jesus, and expressing my desire to look, love, and sound like Him. It's my greatest aim in life, my purpose, and hunger, to be and reveal Jesus to those around me. I was praying, "God, please let my life put You on display. I do not want …

dwelling in His shelter, abiding in His shadow
Psalm 91 is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. It is one that I pray over my home, myself, my family, friends, our nation, etc. It is a powerful declaration of the Lord's protection and favor on those He loves, and on those who put their trust in him. The first verse says …

the pleasure of prayer.
mystery of heaven, sweet communion. our conversations carry me through. heavenly languages, euphoric visions. talking to You is a pleasure no man can recreate or encapsulate. profound words, holy utterances. I live to sit at Your feet. internal groans, ferocious hunger. I cry out for more all the day long, oh Lord! I can never …
Lord, you are worth it.
the circumstances weren't enough to keep me from You. the harder they got, the deeper I pressed in. the deeper I pressed in, the more love I felt. the more love I felt, the clearer I could see. so those mountains aren't mountains, they're astoundingly large miracles. and those dark clouds aren't storms, they are …
to my beautiful fellow mothers.
In light of Mother's Day approaching I thought I would share a raw and real post with the hope of encouraging any other tired mommas out there. The last 2 months have been some of the most difficult months of my life! I sound dramatic, but the feeling of surviving instead of flourishing is not one …
