Walking in Integrity: A Heart After God
Bible Passage: Psalm 26 – Integrity before God is not merely about moral correctness—it is the reflection of a heart devoted to Him. Let’s explore pursuing the Lord wholeheartedly! The story of the potter and the clay in Jeremiah 18 reminds us that we are works in progress. When feelings of inadequacy arise, consider the…
Blessed: What Does It Really Mean?
Blessed. It’s a word we see on wall art, throw pillows, and t-shirts. It’s a word we say in prayers and throw around in Christian circles. Are you blessed? Do you feel blessed? Transliterated, this word blessed is ‘ešer. The simple definition is “happiness.” Are you happy? Do you feel happy? The Psalms and the…
Do you pray but wonder if God hears you?
Today marks 22 years of marriage for my husband and me. Over the years, we’ve replayed this scenario almost weekly: Me: Don’t forget that this weekend, we are going to… An hour later… Husband: What are we doing this weekend? Cue my frustration.

Something about the way this word sounds is so beautiful. It sounds like breath. Breath is life. Some theologians will say this word means pause. Some will say it means praise. When…
Do You Have a Plan?
I am a planner. I thrive on figuring out how to accomplish a goal through a strong plan, as I juggle both a digital planner and a paper BUJO. Add to that my trackers—I track everything from my Bible study progress to workouts and personal goals. Planning keeps me grounded, organized, and focused. But sometimes,…
Do you feel struggle?
Of course, you do. God’s Word tells us that in this world we will have trouble (see John 16:33). What if struggle is a good thing? What if struggle is where we grow? I was recently reading 1 Peter, which Peter wrote to believers enduring discrimination and persecution. These believers found it unsafe to worship…
What Is True?
As I’ve been reading through the New Testament this year, one theme has caught me by surprise—the frequent warnings about false teachers. I always knew Scripture warned us, but the sheer number of times it’s jumped off the page has been startling. This theme has really made me think about the question “What is true?”…
