I’m a word lover! Anyone who knows me knows I will stop mid-sentence to look up a definition, because words carry worlds, and sometimes one simple meaning can shift an entire perspective. Lately, one word has been holding me, stirring me, teaching me: ‘meaningful’, full of meaning. This month, I’ve been asking myself: How do […]

Tell me this is my offspring without telling me  But on a more serious note… if you’re a parent, you can relate. So, picture this, I decided to get up EARLY (yes, capital letters early) to prepare myself before the house woke up. You know that precious window of peace before the chaos begins? That […]

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective.  How much it shapes our lives, and how different everything looks when we choose to see it the way God does. We all go through moments that make us question, worry, or wonder, “Why this? Why now?” But what if, instead of reacting from fear or frustration, […]

Growth is one of life’s great pursuits. Everyone talks about it, everyone desires it, and in one way or another, we are all reaching for it. But here’s the truth: not all growth is good growth. Some growth looks impressive on the outside but is hollow on the inside. Think of a balloon—it expands quickly, […]

Let me just tell you what the Holy Spirit whispered to me recently, and it stopped me in my tracks: “You are the key.” Whew. He wasn’t talking about someone else. Not the person who hurt me. Not the one who misunderstood me. Not even the one who walked away. Me. You. Us. He was […]

Sis, let’s talk. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of July, sun blazing, calendar packed, energy running low, and suddenly realize… you’re just surviving the month, not stewarding it? Yeah. That. Let me say it plain: never prepare for July in July. Why? By the time July arrives, the pace is too fast, […]

Queen, let’s talk heart-to-heart for a moment. How many times have we found ourselves disappointed and frustrated because he didn’t show up the way we wanted him to? Maybe he didn’t affirm you. Maybe he didn’t plan the date. Maybe he didn’t text first. Or maybe he just didn’t read your mind (which, let’s be […]

“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” — Proverbs 14:1 We live in a world where “building” is all around us—careers, platforms, families, ministries, relationships. There’s a constant pressure to do more, be more, achieve more. But Scripture brings us back to something raw, something […]

There’s a common mindset that asks, “What can others do for me?” But I want to challenge you to flip that question—what can YOU give? What do you have in your hands, your heart, and your life that can bless someone else? The truth is, generosity is more than an act—it’s a lifestyle. And when […]

Picture this: two families decide to build their dream homes. One hires the best contractors, uses high-quality materials, and takes time to ensure a solid foundation. The other rushes the process, cutting corners with cheap materials and ignoring the warning signs of a weak foundation. At first, both houses look great—but when a storm hits, […]
