“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 1:6 (NASB) “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor … Continue reading Two Truths and a Lie

A Radiant Vessel (in the making)
I spent some time digging into my #oneword for 2025 (alabaster). I wanted to share some of my findings before January is officially over. Alabaster is such a unique word for me, as I usually have an action word that I’m focused on each year. It feels like a deep well, and I am excited … Continue reading A Radiant Vessel (in the making)

I’ve read it countless times, but tried to read it with fresh eyes this time. And that’s … Continue reading Speak and See

(Fun fact: I hope one day to have a room in my home devoted as a library and study area.) Words are important to me - writing them, speaking them, reading, listening; … Continue reading Check-In + Prayer Guide

During worship, we surrendered the things we’ve been holding on to a little too tightly. We made space for God, clearing out the clutter, asking … Continue reading You Know Better
