I hear the Father saying, ”Ask, please, just ask.” He wants to show you the next step. He wants to clear away the confusion, and arm you with wisdom. Just ask and believe.
Father, I trust you with the details, the when, where, why, and how. I know what I need to know you will reveal. Thank you for protecting me from knowledge to heavy to carry. Thank you for equipping me to recognize the truth when you bring it and the wisdom to know how to walk it out.
You get to hold the master plan of my life. Thank you for wanting to hold it all for me.
The Holy Spirit is releasing the revelation of an invitation from the Father. Not just for salvation but to return to Him in every area of our lives. It doesn't come with crippling pressure or an acute awareness of our brokenness. It comes with the welcoming invitation back to the one who made us. Who releases the grace to walk in peace and daily relationship with Him. It is knowing that we can't do it without Him.
Don't settle for life-crushing condemnation. Accept the freeing invitation that real conviction brings.
2 Peter 3:18 tpt
But continue to grow and increase in God’s grace and intimacy with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May he receive all the glory both now and until the day eternity begins. Amen!
There is a false pressure that is causing a sense of urgency and overwhelm on God’s people. Where the enemy is making every single thing seem so Big. The Holy Spirit is whispering, “Relax”!
Be anxious for nothing. Turn back in prayer and lay it all out. Reject the pressure and return to worship. Let the pressure be exchanged for peace!!!
Don’t be fooled, friends. It’s not real.
Philippians 4:6-7 tpt
Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.
Father,
Thank you for sending me here and now. You could of never sent me to this place. You could have never made me. But you choose carefully my life and the weapons you handed to me along with your name and authority. What an honor to be your ambassador and child.
Thank you for our world, our cities, our towns, and our homes. That are being told of the good news of Jesus and His established victory! We will see your kingdom come, and your will be done.
We will see every evil turned for our good. We will see captives set free, hearts healed, cultures change, justice served, and every illness leave. We are your carriers of light! For such a time as this. Thank you!!!

Tonight I am tired. I don't know what tomorrow looks like except for doing the budget and paying all the bills. Good times.
I am staying up later than necessary, watching cooking vlogs, and accomplishing nothing because it is good for my soul. Not every moment feels spiritual, and not everything that feeds us looks like diligent worship.
Rest, relax. Tomorrow will take care of itself.
I heard God whispering while they were cooking rice. He was asking His kids to give themselves permission to chill and let tomorrow be tomorrow.
I know this is for someone’s heart today.
We will never fully know ourselves outside of a revelation of the one who made us and knows every part of us.
It is in the written word of God that our unseen King is shown to us as He also reveals our hidden royalty.
Dive in and expect to see Him. Listen closely as He tells you of hidden truths and promises still to come.
You are fully known, deeply loved, and of a royal calling.
Simple words but when they come from a sincere heart and with actions that respond in faith life is released. I feel the deepest part of my heart calling to Him.
I know without a doubt that Jesus is the way out, through, and forward. I want no other options or opinions. Father, I choose you. Have your way in me.
Psalms 86:11 tpt
Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move,
so that I can walk onward in your truth
until everything within me brings honor to your name.

2020, It has felt like just when the enemy has punch us in the face one more time. We feel the shocking blow of another hit. I know the enemy has been relentless but I want to remind you of something. The faithfulness of our God will not be out lived and certainly not outdone. He is faithful to sustain us, faithful to guide us and in every moment leading us to the victory, He already provided.
Don’t rehearse the evil of these days in your heart. Return to the good news and plant your flag. He who called you is faithful: He will surely do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24) Refocus and settle in peace.
My daughter sat watching me put on my makeup. Then she reminded me to put on lipstick. I offered to put some on her and then the real conversation began.
We talked about how makeup just highlights what is already beautiful. How if your heart is ugly no amount of glitter will cover the brokeness. Parenthood is a road paved with a million conversations that seem to shape my heart as much as theirs. I am so thankful for this gift.
I wrote these words down and they poured out of my heart I heard the Father say, ”I treasure the million conversations I get to have with you.” He treasures the gift of parenting more than we ever could. I am so thankful He patiently guides me all while making me feel seen, known and heard. He is a good, good Father.
Stop evaluating your ability, your provisions, and your strength when considering what God has asked you to do. He asked you to do it with the full intention of backing you up every step of the way.
Remember, it is written.
1 John 4:4
“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”
That also includes you. God is greater than you. You are feeling frozen and discouraged because you are looking at the wrong person to complete this task. He is in you and before you beside you and all around you. Go!!!!
My heart was disappointed this week y'all. So many plans and expectations are not made real in this absolutely wonky (I am running out of adjectives) season. I went to the Father and told him how my expectations were crumbling. How I wanted to pursue grace and stay exactly where He wanted me but I was disappointed.
He didn't scold me or tell me to, ”shake it off” instead, He listened as I unloaded it all at His feet. Then He said, ”Now I need you to look forward and expect to see my faithfulness.”
I have a choice. I am looking forward. My God is faithful.
Rejoice in the middle friends. When your days are not at their lowest and you are not in the highest moments of victory. It is here in the middle where character, perseverance, and true beauty are cultivated. The truth is in these relatively uneventful days we find the most important things in life. I am so thankful I am not at my lows and the beauty of mountain tops is always longed for. But I am truly thankful for this middle. I have been here before and the fruit of this place is lasting and true. Moment by moment I am thankful for this middle. Lord, have your way in me.
Here is to you my friends walking in the land between hopelessness and manifested victory. I see you. I am walking beside you. What beauty there is in this place. Keep walking.
