The Mustard Seed They Keep Asking Me About… Let’s Clear This Up I wear this cute little necklace with a mustard seed in the middle of a flower, and ALL THE TIME when I’m out, somebody stops me like, “Uh… what’s that supposed to be?” Oh honey, buckle up. Let me teach you some Bible real quick. Matthew 17:20 (NIV) “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” Now listen — Jesus did not say: “Come back when you have mountain-sized, superhero, Pinterest-perfect faith.” No. He said: bring Me your tiny, tired,…

God’s beauty surrounds us every day… but some of us are too busy stressing, rushing, or side-eyeing life to notice. Look at this sky though — that’s God whispering, ‘I’m here, sweetheart. I’ve got you.’ Take a breath. Let His peace settle in. His artwork is the reminder your heart needed today. If you’re seeking more Encouragement today, you may find comfort in our Devotions or be strengthened by our Verse of The Day or Prayers, offering Scripture to carry with you throughout the day.

Already Handled It Guilt is one of the most pointless things we drag around. It doesn’t correct our past, it doesn’t deepen our faith, and it sure doesn’t make us holier. All it really does is sit on your chest like a weighted blanket from the clearance rack – uncomfortable, unnecessary, and not at all doing what it promised. And here’s the truth we keep forgetting: Jesus already paid for every sin – fully, completely, once and for all. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross… by His wounds you have been healed.” – 1 Peter…

Appreciate Your People — While You Still Have Them The older I get, the more the holidays feel different. Some years are loud and full of laughter. Some years have empty chairs that feel a little heavier than the rest. But every single year reminds me of one thing: Don’t take your people for granted. Hug the ones who still sit at your table. Call the ones you’ve been “meaning to check on.” Make memories — not excuses. And for the loved ones who aren’t here anymore… yeah, that ache hits different this time of year. But their love didn’t…

Protect Your Peace — Even From “Family Reunion but Make It a Thriller” Family is wild, y’all. You’ll have one person praying, one person yelling, one person crying, and someone in the corner making plates like nothing’s happening. Some relatives don’t just bring drama — they cater it. Full service. Appetizer, entrée, dessert, AND to-go boxes. And have you ever noticed the messiest relative is always shocked when you set a boundary? You: “I need space.” Them: “Why? What did I do?” …Ma’am, please. Even the angels are tired. Some of y’all need to start handing out spiritual restraining orders…

You know, life has a way of throwing us all into some seriously interesting chapters. We go through rough patches, we deal with divorces, we step into the wild world of co-parenting and step-parenting, and we figure out how to blend families like we’re mixing a complicated recipe with half the directions missing. Add in the daily juggle of being grateful for the jobs we have and navigating the whole digital parenting maze, and, well… it’s a lot. And let’s be honest — a whole lot of us have walked through divorce or are smack in the middle of it.…

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” Everyone reads this and thinks, “Yep, people need to watch what they say to ME.” Meanwhile, we’re out here talking to ourselves like we’re the villain in our own story. We say stuff like: Then we’re confused when our spirit feels like it got hit by a truck. Let’s be honest: Half the battles we fight are because we keep speaking death over our own day before it even starts. Your words don’t just hit the air, they hit you. They shape your attitude, your hope, your confidence, and your…

Some Days Life Hits Hard Let’s be real… some days life hits so hard you start Googling “How to disappear but still pay bills.” I mean… whew. If struggle had a VIP list, half of us would have lifetime memberships. And listen, when I was writing my book… I was THIS CLOSE to throwing the whole laptop across the room many times. I literally sat there thinking: “Why am I doing this? Who told me I had the audacity to write a book? Who’s even going to read it? Or even care.” But every time I tried to quit, God…

The Sin We Love to Ignore … BUT JESUS WOULD’VE DRAGGED US FOR IT We’ll call out lying in a heartbeat. Stealing? We’ll act like it just made the front page of Christian TMZ. Adultery? Whole committees form. Gossip? Everybody suddenly becomes a prophet. But the one thing Jesus talked about more than ALL of that? The sin most Christians won’t even blink at? Worry. Yep. The “acceptable” sin — the one we treat like it’s a spiritual emotional support animal. Jesus said it plain: (And He wasn’t dropping Pinterest suggestions — He meant that.) But we dress it up,…
