devotions - faith for every season

There's something about this time of year... March Madness energy. Every game matters. Every possession count. Every point... matters. And here's the thing, a win is a win. It doesn't matter if a team wins by 1 point... or dominates by 30, it goes in the record books the exact same way. A win is a win. And guess what? The same is true for you. It's easy to think growth has to look BIG, dramatic, or even noticeable. Like... I should be further along, this should feel bigger, o

There are some prayers that feel easy to pray. And then there are the ones that ache. The ones you whisper quietly to God because saying them out loud somehow makes the longing feel even heavier. For me, one of those prayers has been the desire to become a mother. If you’ve ever walked through infertility, you know it isn’t just a medical journey. It’s emotional. Spiritual. Deeply personal. It’s test results, medications, hormones, calendars. There were times I joked that I n

Guess what, God is not in heaven like "hmm... let's see if she triple-texts me." He's not waiting to see if you pray hard enough, cry long enough, spiral deep enough, or even go to church enough before He answers. He is not emotionally unavailable. He is not sending mixed signals. He is not leaving you on “read." God is not playing hard to get. You don’t have to chase what is already chasing you. And can we talk about dating for a second? Remember when someone told you... "

Buckle up, because let’s talk about the biggest scam we were lovingly sold at 17... go to college, get the degree, get the job, and you’re set for life. Hold up! Y'all I truly believed that when I flipped my tassel at graduation, confetti would fall from heaven, a CEO would magically sense I had a college degree, and someone would hand me a corner office with a window and a 401(k). Instead? God handed me… character development. Now let me be very honest about my career path,

Yesterday we talked about change. And if I’m honest? I don’t fear change. I actually kind of love it. I have moved three times in less than ten years. Some might say, “maybe you just need to learn to be content.” And whew. That one hits. Because contentment has always been a struggle for me. I've been told that a time or two (or three) by my husband and close family, just be content. It’s not that I’m unhappy. It’s not that I’m ungrateful. It’s not even that I always need to

Has anyone ever told you, "it'll happen in God's timing." Yeah girl, me too. Waiting on God's timing can feel frustrating because we often assume it should look a certain way. Like clear answers. A detailed plan. A timeline we can understand. Unfortunately, that's now how it works. We think if God were really at work, things would move faster, doors would open sooner, and clarity would come easier. Again, not how it works. The truth is, God's timing rarely aligns with our urg

It’s wild how quickly comparison sneaks in. One scroll, one update, one “oh wow, good for them” and suddenly you’re questioning your timeline, your progress, and whether you somehow missed a memo everyone else got. We can be perfectly content one minute… and completely discouraged the next—just by watching someone else run past us. We don’t always realize how exhausting it is to constantly measure ourselves against others. Their milestones. Their success. Their pace. Their hi

Patience is one of those fruits of the Spirit we admire... until we're asked to actually practice it. We want quick answers. Immediate results. Clear timelines. We pray, we hope, and then we wait—and waiting can feel like the hardest part of faith. But patience is not giving up or giving in. Patience is an active trust that God is working, even when we can’t see it yet. Just recently, the week before Thanksgiving, my husband was hit by a truck while running, but it wasn't unt
