When Someone Else's Story Reminds You of Your Own
I can't say that I'll write every day. I would love to get into the habit of writing. I'd love to say that I'm always motivated or that I have some magical muse that tells me when it's time to write. I don't know what makes someone write consistently. What I do know is this: when the moment comes, I want to honor it. Tonight, that moment came through a movie. From what I understand, it's about a father who suddenly finds himself raising his son alone after the loss of his wif

When God Refills What Life Has Emptied.
Still Growing. Still Healing. Still Becoming... Me. A healing journey through faith, wisdom, and present choices series. Yesterday, I felt... off. I don't know if "sad" is the right word. I don't even know if "bad" fully explains it. If I'm honest, I think I was finally overwhelmed. My body was responding to everything my mind had been trying to carry. The doctor's appointments. The medical reports. The financial responsibilities. The weight of being a single parent. The real

Healing is Becoming
So yesterday, during a conference, the presenter asked one question: "What is your superpower outside of the work that you do?" As the presenter talked about the roles and identities of caregivers like myself, she mentioned how we tend to hide behind what is happening to us instead of recognizing what is happening for us. I was actually about to contribute what I thought my superpower was, but before I could, the presenter called on me. LOL. What she did not know was that whi

Led By the Spirit...Not Pushed By Pressure
There’s a quiet prayer that’s been sitting in my spirit lately: “Lord, teach me how to follow You.” Not perform. Not impress. Not over-spiritualize every breath I take. Just… follow. And if I’m honest, that’s harder than it sounds. When Faith Stops Being a Formula Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught—directly or indirectly—that if we “do this right,” life will respond accordingly. Pray more → things get better. Trust God → problems disappear. Make the right choices

Finding My Stance
THE MOUNTAIN DOESN’T MOVE The mountain is huge. Ancient. Rough around the edges. Unpredictable in ways that don’t care about my schedule or my feelings. It doesn’t apologize for storms. It doesn’t flatten itself to be more accessible. It doesn’t explain why today is harder than yesterday. The mountain just is. And here’s the quiet truth I’m learning: the mountain isn’t my enemy. Jesus once said to speak to the mountain and it would move. I used to think that meant the obstacl

When God Performs CPR... A Heart Resuscitation Story
When Heaven Breaks Your Ribs to Save Your Life There are moments in life when you don’t just feel broken—you feel cracked open. Not by chaos. Not by the enemy. But by the very hands of God. And if you’ve ever felt like your chest was caving in under the weight of truth, healing, or revelation… you might’ve been on the receiving end of divine CPR. But here’s the thing: before God ever lays a hand on your heart, you have to admit something most of us avoid for years—you

Twenty Years of Us— An Ode to Sol
In 48 hours, my daughter turns 20. No more “teen” attached to her name. Just a young woman, full-grown, wild-hearted, and walking into her own story. And me? I’m feeling everything. Pride, nostalgia, grief, relief… it’s all swirling like one big emotional smoothie. Someone told me tonight, “You’re such a good mom. I strive to be like you.” And whether I fully believe that or not, it stopped me in my tracks. Because I started replaying the last 20 years. We’ve walked through f

Grief Is More Than Tears
You know… I’ve been sitting with this thought lately: What if most of what we call anger is actually ungrieved pain? I’ve been watching people: families, clients, even believers stay stuck in cycles that all trace back to one quiet thing: They never grieved what died!!! And I don’t just mean death in the physical sense. I mean the death of expectations. The death of childhood innocence. The death of dreams, safety, relationships, opportunities… and nobody ever sat down and sa
