What does a fruitful Christian look like? Is it someone with a large platform? Someone who teaches the Bible? Someone everyone admires? Or is it something much quieter? I recently heard someone say, “The branch that bears the most fruit bows the lowest.” I don’t know who first said it, but the moment I heardContinue reading “When Fruit Bows Low”

True Freedom
For many people, this week is a celebration of freedom. Families gather together, fireworks fill the sky, and people reflect on the blessings they have in their country. But while our earthly freedoms are something to be thankful for, they remind me of an even greater freedom that every believer can celebrate. The freedom JesusContinue reading “True Freedom”
When You Don’t Know How to Pray for Someone
Have you ever had someone on your heart, but you weren’t sure how to pray for them? Maybe a friend is struggling. Maybe a family member is going through a difficult season. Maybe someone asks for prayer, and you genuinely want to pray for them, but you don’t know what to say. I came acrossContinue reading “When You Don’t Know How to Pray for Someone”
When Truth and Feelings Collide
One of the lessons I’ve learned as a Christian is that my feelings are real, but they are not always right. There have been times when I felt abandoned, but God’s Word reminded me He would never leave me nor forsake me. There have been times when I wanted to hold on to hurt, butContinue reading “When Truth and Feelings Collide”
Pharaohs Heart
One of the questions people often ask when reading Exodus is: Why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart? At first glance, it can seem unfair. Was Pharaoh willing to let Israel go, only for God to step in and force him to say no? When I first read that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, I struggled withContinue reading “Pharaohs Heart”
Yahweh in the Quiet
I recently heard someone say that the name “Yahweh” sounds like breathing. Yah… Weh… In and out. And honestly, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I don’t know if that’s linguistically accurate or not, but I know this: the idea of it settled deeply into my heart. Because breathing is somethingContinue reading “Yahweh in the Quiet”
Dressed For Battle
This morning, I found myself in Ephesians 6, reading about the armor of God. I’ve heard this passage so many times before, but today it felt different. It didn’t feel like a lesson. It felt like a reminder. Because if I’m being honest, life lately has felt… heavy. Not always in obvious ways, but inContinue reading “Dressed For Battle”
I Am His
I didn’t always understand this kind of love. Back in 2016, my grandma was on hospice. And instead of being afraid of dying, she couldn’t wait. She kept talking about being with Jesus like it was something she was looking forward to. At the time, it confused me. Because if I knew I was dying,Continue reading “I Am His”
Putting Off The Old Me
This morning, I opened my Bible and landed in Ephesians 4. And honestly… I didn’t expect it to hit me the way it did. There’s a part of me that genuinely wants to live for Christ. Not halfway. Not on the surface. But with my whole life, my mind, my heart, and even my body.Continue reading “Putting Off The Old Me”
The Love I Want Looks Like Him
A dream of mine has always been marriage. I’ve always imagined myself as a wife, caring for my husband, building a home, loving him deeply. I’ve even pictured having a little boy someday. But as more time passes, I’ve found myself wondering if that dream will ever actually become a reality. I’m 30. And ifContinue reading “The Love I Want Looks Like Him”
