February showed up fast, didn’t it?
One minute it was “Happy New Year,” and now we’re already talking about Valentine’s Day. 💕

I’m over here holding my tea, blinking and trying to catch up.

What’s Been On My Heart

For the last 15 years, I’ve set a goal to read through the Bible each year. Since my mind likes to wander when something feels familiar, I switch translations often. It helps me stay present and really listen.

Last week, while reading Exodus 3, one phrase stood out to me: “Who am I?”
​ When God called Moses from the burning bush, that was his response.

And, honestly? I get it.

Sometimes, when God nudges me toward something new or stretching, my first instinct is to shrink back. To stay where it feels safe. To question whether I’m really the right person.

But I’ve learned this: when I take God’s hand and step forward anyway, He meets me there. And what feels scary at first often becomes sacred ground.
