Have you ever dealt with insecurity before? I certainly have! My personal journey has led me to appreciate artists who promote confidence and loving yourself. Today, I am sharing a song by Colbie Caillat called “Try”. The song is telling girls and women they do not have to try to be different to be liked…
As I said in my previous post, there are many testimonies from my trip to Brazil. I wish I could share them all but it would take a week! However, if you can spare me some more of your time, I would like to share my own testimony. The morning of Sunday, June 28th, my…
I cannot contain my joy! I have been waiting weeks to share with you the amazing things our Father has done and now the time has finally come. Get some tea, pull up a chair and let me tell you what happened in Brazil… PART 1 On June 16th, I boarded a plane headed to…
A few days after returning from Brazil, God gave me this poem and I am going to share it with you all. I’m praying it encourages you and breaks any lie you have heard or believed about yourself. Your words do not define me. Your labels are not who I am. I am not my…
From June 16th till July 14th, I will be in Brazil on my first mission trip. I am excited and nervous and looking forward to the adventure! God will do amazing things, I am sure. In the meantime, I ask you to keep my team and I in your prayers. We’ll be ministering at a…
This blog was always meant to be a place where I could encourage you. A place where I could teach you what God has taught me. A place to remind you of your identity in Christ, for the days you may forget who you are. I was not prepared for the days when I would…
Today I’d like to talk to you about living passionately for God. Let’s begin with taking a look at the life of King David. David was a great King. He was also a mighty warrior, a poet, a musician but most importantly, God says David was a man after His heart (Acts 13:22). In other…
I was talking with a friend the other day and told her how I have been worried about my job. Since the car accident, I have not been able to work as many hours as usual and I was worried my clients would be frustrated I am not able to meet their deadlines. She was…
The seed contains the blessings of life. It is so small, so frail, yet it produces vegetables, fruit, trees, flowers – all wonderful nutrition from which we thrive. However, does the seed know this when we plant it in the ground? Does it understand how strong and beautiful it will be after its season under…
Lately, I have noticed a pattern in the media revolving around being brave – a pattern I like to call “The Movement of Awakening Courage”. From Disney’s movie “Brave”, to Taylor Swift singing “Shake It Off”, you can see empowerment is everywhere. Do you remember the Sound of Music? I used to love that movie…
I bring to you the last part of the iHonor Series – iHonor Myself. So far we have covered honoring God and others. Though all of the honor you give is almost always three-dimensional, I will be focusing on not so much how, but why to honor your own being – body, soul and spirit…
I feel privileged that Katya has asked me to share with you some of my thoughts on what it means to honor others. The more that I thought about the topic the more I realized, honoring others is pretty darn hard! It’s like a three way game or rock, paper, scissors; God and others are…
