I wanted to share some of the practical ways we can lean into the discomfort of doing “hard things.” This by no means is an exhaustive list or in any specific order of importance. Even more, some of the tips may not apply to your current situation. Take what you need! 

This visual and musical representation of the struggle we experience when “doubt comes in” was unfolding right before my eyes. It was all too familiar. I pondered this scene for days after. I was confronted with the ways I allowed doubt to take a seat at the table of my life.

The idea of "whatever is meant to be will be" is a lie that many have believed. It is an excuse to be lazy and gives us "permission" to relinquish our responsibility and put all the onus on God.

I have an affinity for flowers and plants that has increased over this past year. Flowers have always been an inexpensive addition to my home that quickly adds vibrancy and joy. Last week, I walked into the grocery store to purchase a few items. Upon entering, my eyes were drawn to a beautiful flower I now know is called a Protea.

We all want to be happy but is that something we can truly attain? What does the Bible say about “happiness?”

We experience love in many forms. It’s not always hugs and kisses. Sometimes it is correction. Sometimes it doesn’t “feel good” but it is for our good.

It is amazing how intentional God was when you made you and I. Let this be a reminder that you are tailor made.

It is always encouraging to hear about how God has shown up for people in various ways. This is just one of the many ways He has shown up for me! May it be a reminder to you of His goodness!!

Have you ever compared yourself to someone else? I think if we are all honest the answer is a resounding yes! However, comparison kills! There are ways we can fight against it.

Since I moved to California, I spend a lot of time in my car. This has started my love affair with Podcasts. I always learn interesting facts and hear inspiring stories. I wanted to share one of these stories with you because I think it will encourage you as it did me!

In this life we are never stagnant. We are either moving forward and going backwards. Choose to move forward.

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, “There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!” Luke 14: 28-30 NLT

God did not create us to be robots. He gave us the ability to choose and make decisions.

When life gets difficult, what we focus on will determine how we go through these different situations and circumstances.

Songs have a way of speaking to us. When the songwriter is thoughtful about what they are sharing it can have a huge impact on us.

Shame is a feeling many of us have felt before. What is shame? How does it show up in our lives? How do we overcome it?

This is my first ever interview about the blog with my amazing friend, Lakeyia! Check it out the video and comment below!

God created us to thrive and grow in community. We can certainly do more together than we can apart.

When we have “a bird’s eye view” in life, we learn to see the bigger picture. This can be challenging at times because it is easy to get stuck in the minutia of life.
