"What I say to you in the dark (privately), tell in the light (publicly); and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops [to many people]." – Matthew 10:27
A friend of mine shared these words with me at a church service a couple of months ago: “God loves you when you’re bare.” What she didn’t know was that right before I had seen a picture in my mind’s eye of a small tree that had barely grown above the ground, which I [...]
On Good Friday, I went to a worship night where the worship leader mentioned that we were celebrating the grave being opened by resurrection life! Before he could say the name of Jesus however, to my surprise, the first person I thought of was Lazarus. You see, Lazarus (whose story can be found in [...]
--------- Part two to my last blog: (Not) Blaming God --------- I want to encourage someone today: Spring is coming. Even better, Spring ALWAYS comes. There are ALWAYS four seasons. It’s the way God created the earth, and it reveals His goodness. He brings us out of the cold, dead Winter into the cool, [...]
Recently God has impressed it on my heart to check my first reaction when something happens that doesn’t go according to my plan. Do I blame Him, or do I praise Him? Whether it’s small, frustrating things that happen in my day-to-day, or huge, horrible things that happen in the world around me, I want [...]
I just want to encourage those of you who aren’t in a relationship right now. 😉 I’ve written about this before (check When the Lord Gives and Takes Away), but a relationship is not a gift God gives you for good behavior, and singleness is not a punishment for not doing or being good [...]
Get ready for a whole entire blog filled with spiritual metaphors that came out of a vision God gave me!

On the one year anniversary of my blog, I want to share something God taught me in October that I still think about almost every day... A couple months ago on my birthday weekend, I visited a church I dearly love and used to go to all the time in college called Upper Room (you [...]
Back in 2016, I received multiple prophetic words about writing from different people all year, but I really didn't know I had a passion for it until my Pastor, Dustin Bates, called me out during one of Church Eleven32's Deeper services about not only being a worshiper, but a writer who writes what the Lord [...]
The Lord has shown me over the last couple of months that THANKSGIVING CONQUERS DISAPPOINTMENT. While waiting on certain things to come to pass, as I have thanked God in advance for them, old feelings of disappointment or discouragement have just not been able to stick, and I have found myself experiencing more and more [...]
A few weekends ago, I had the absolute honor of leading worship at a women’s conference called Wildfire, all about encountering God and realizing that you can't be too on fire for Him. The leaders weren't messing around because during the first session we dove headfirst into watching the scene in the movie The Passion [...]
