The Lord Will Restore What the Enemy Has Stolen

God is going to RESTORE, RENEW & REJUVENATE things that we thought for sure we were never going to be able to get back.

Writers are going to write again. Teachers are going to teach again. Those who have strayed from God are going to return to him again.

Now is not the time to throw our hands in the air and give up on God. Now is the time to press in and stand firmly on His Word, and have wild faith that He is capable of working on our behalf, even when we can’t see it!

Are You Hungry?

Are You Hungry?

It was on my bucket list for years to make bread from scratch, and it only took a worldwide shutdown for me to slow down enough to accept the challenge.

Although we have made intentional decisions to slow down as a family over the last several months, this quarantine has revealed to me the restlessness that is still in my soul.

Like yeast rising in the dough, the areas of doubt, unbelief and control have risen to the surface of my heart. Do I really trust the Lord for our provision? Do I really believe that He is our strength and shield? Do I really trust Him for our protection?

Women Are Brave and Capable of Doing Hard Things

Women Are Brave and Capable of Doing Hard Things

I remember reading this article by Frederica Mathewes-Green a few years ago, and this thought stuck with me:

“Nobody wants to have an abortion. And if nobody wants to have an abortion, why are women doing it, 2,800 times a day? If women are doing something 2,800 times daily that they don’t want to do, this is not liberation we’ve won.”

Is abortion really empowerment? No. No it is not. Telling a woman she cannot succeed unless she kills the life that’s inside of her... that’s not empowerment. That’s victimization. Big difference between the two.

I want to be a person who tells women that even though the right choice might be the hardest choice at the moment, that they are BRAVE and CAPABLE of doing hard and right things.

Embracing My Winter Season

I feel like I have been in a winter season for a while now. Having Eliza wrecked me in a way that I didn't expect. These hormones and emotions have felt uncontrollable at times. I have uncertainty about everything --> my calling, my giftings, my likes, my wants... heck even my salvation at times!

But I believe that God has shown me that this season is not a wasted season.
