Family Devotional Ideas: The Power of the Holy Spirit & Anointing Your Home With Oil
Late last year, I begin to feel the Holy Spirit press on my heart two words, prophetic destiny. Only in this particular moment, He wasn’t speaking of my prophetic destiny… He was referring to my son’s prophetic destiny. He was giving me a small glimpse of the calling that He had on my son’s heart and in doing so, He was shining a light on the irreplaceable role that we play as parents in nurturing that calling. In the months that followed, I began to press heavily into that message, having deep conversations with my little boy about his unique and beautiful spiritual gifts and how God created him with…

“If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29:13 NLT
This is just a short note from my heart to yours. Just a short word of encouragement, love, and light. Just a short reminder and prayer to cover your day, or your week; your battle or your circumstance. But in all its simplicity, it is so very powerful, my friends. So very powerful. So here it is… If I have learned one thing about God’s presence in the day to day, it’s this – When we begin to look for God in even the little things, the daily grind, the seemingly mundane, we get to experience glimpses of His incredible presence in absolutely everything! ❤️ And knowing that He is…

Book Review: The Todd White Story (Life is Short – Leave a Legacy)
Some book reviews are easy to write. This was not one of them for me. Before I get started on this book review, I want to first express that I’m struggling. In fact, I’ve gone back and forth many times trying to decide if I should even write this review for reasons that I’ll explain below. In the end, I decided to move forward with it for two reasons: #1 – Because I’ve committed this year to reading more (I love the way that it feeds my spirit), and… #2 – I’ve also committed to sharing honest and transparent reviews here on my blog of the books that I read.…

Travel: San Isidro Church in Las Mesitas, Colorado (Abandoned, Old Church)
Okay, friends… Confession: This is a totally random travel post. In fact, I usually would just add these photos to our Instagram account and carry on, but I just couldn’t help myself. This old church is an absolute gem, a truly beautiful and incredible piece of history, and because of that, I wanted to pause and give it the space that it deserves. Let’s start here – On a recent hunting trip to Southwest Colorado, my husband stumbled on an old, beautiful, empty church in the most unsuspecting of places. Now, usually when my husband goes hiking, scouting, or hunting, he brings me back heart rocks (my favorite) but knowing…

Book Review: Ten Women of the Bible by Max Lucado
My journey through Ten Women of The Bible by Max Lucado started out as a simple request by my little sister. She wanted to host an online Bible Study group together but didn’t exactly know where to start. As it turns out, neither did I… lol… But after a bit of research on my end, I stumbled onto this AMAZING devotional by Max Lucado with great reviews and we launched forward! And as I look back on the time that we spent deep in this devotional, I am so glad that we picked it! I loved this relationship-based study pretty much from the start, especially for a group setting, for…

A Time to Grow: Exit Gracefully & Carry On
Just write. Sometimes those are the words that I have to begin with. So here it goes… The other day I felt led to respond to a Facebook group discussion about whether or not “beliefs” belong in a medical setting. The author of the discussion was simply asking for recommendations for a Christian therapist for her child, but the post had taken another turn, as they so often do. A woman representing herself as a medical provider responded to this mother’s request with the following: “Religion does not make a practitioner more competent… I’m a medical provider and it would make me very uncomfortable to discuss my beliefs with a…

The Prophetic Destiny of Our Children
Hey mamas… God tapped my heart the other day and I thought maybe you could relate… I went to an event about a week ago and listened to a speaker. His message didn’t necessarily hit that deep spot for me on that particular night, but when he spoke two words mid-meeting, God interrupted my thoughts and said… “Right there. That’s what I wanted you to hear.” The two words were prophetic destiny. Suddenly the picture of my son’s face flashed across my mind. Prophetic destiny. His. His prophetic destiny. And the two pieces of information collided in such a powerful way in my mind that tears pricked my eyes almost…

Shame Thrives in the Dark Corners.
Shame thrives in the dark corners. It isolates. It tells us that we do not belong at the table, that we are not worthy. Shame tells us that if we allow people to get too close, they will see who we really are; that all of our flaws, our mistakes, our deep and painful “ugly” will be exposed and in that moment… when we are seen for the person that we truly are… rejection will inevitably follow. Pain will inevitably follow. More shame piled upon shame. Shame warns us to stay hidden. Stay behind the veil. Stay behind the wall. Stay alone. And my friend, if you feel these words…
