Sometimes, you simply don’t want to do something. Like… Write a letter. ✍️ Have that difficult conversation. 🗣️ Do the dishes. 🧽 Clean the bathroom. 🚽 Get those test results. 👩⚕️ Face your fear head-on. 😨 Be an adult. 🤷♀️ (My grown kids call this adulting 😀) Sometimes you’d rather skip it. Ever feel this way? When you do, remember you don’t have to face any of this alone. God remains closer than the air you breathe. I needed this reminder today. Consider A couple of months ago, I shared a resource by my colleague Merritt Onsa, which was all about dreaming. This last week, Merritt and I talked about God expanding your dreams beyond anything you thought possible. My dream involved overcoming shame. Embracing my calling. Finding my true worth in Christ. That’s the journey God has led me on—turning my deepest pain into a mission to help other women heal. 💖 If you’re wrestling with fear or wondering how God can use your story, this Devoted Dreamers Podcast episode is for you. You can listen to this podcast here. Reflect Though written to the nation of Israel, substitute your name in the following verses. “But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” - Isaiah 43:1-2 NLT God is with you today. 🙏🏻 May I pray for you? Dear God, you promised to always be with Reader. Thank you for this promise. Whatever Reader struggles with, please bring peace. Illuminate the next step and give Reader courage to take it. Amen. |

This past week has been filled with concerns. One of the heaviest is the sale of our home. We’re approaching the one-year mark since we listed it, and we’re not sure what to do. We believe we are where God wants us, yet the house remains unsold. So we ask God, What are you doing? Did we mishear you? Maintaining two residences has stretched us financially. Thankfully, we have wonderful neighbors and a great realtor keeping an eye on things. And God continues to provide for every need. Still,...
Growing up, February was a month packed with celebrations—my brother and sister’s birthdays, Valentine’s Day (Mom made it extra fun!), and two presidential birthdays that meant days off from school. Back then, we had Lincoln’s birthday (Feb. 12) and Washington’s birthday (Feb. 22) off—until Congress consolidated them into Presidents’ Day on the third Monday of the month. Presidents Washington and Lincoln understood the importance of faith woven into every part of life. Like our Founding...
