You don’t owe anyone the same version of you forever.
You’re allowed to outgrow old stories. To shed the pressure to stay the same. To choose freedom over fear, and growth over comfort.

This is your season to rise—to root deeper in truth, to bloom where grace leads, and to trust that the God who planted you has not forgotten what He placed in you.

Let this be the season you bloom bold and grow free.

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” —Isaiah 43:19

There’s a kind of resistance that isn’t loud or obvious—
it’s the quiet clenching in our spirit,
the push against rest,
the holding back of joy,
the ache of trying to control what was never ours to carry.

After enough flights to earn a zip code in the sky, I’ve learned a few things. These 7 travel tips? They’ll keep you one layer, one snack, and one TSA lane ahead of the chaos.
1. Download before you go. Wi-Fi is a gamble—save your playlists, docs, and boarding pass offline.
2. Choose seats like a pro. Aisle for freedom, window for sleep, exit row for legroom—know your priorities.
3. Power up. Bring a portable charger and a backup cord—delays are long, outlets are few.
4. Snacks > regrets. A protein bar and almonds beat airport prices and hanger every time.
5. Dress smart. Layers win—planes swing from freezer to furnace in a flash.
6. TSA PreCheck saves time (and sanity). Shoes stay on, laptops stay packed, and lines move fast.
7. Carry-on always. Lost luggage is a vibe-killer. Keep essentials with you and breeze past baggage claim.

Heading home from Ecuador with dusty shoes and a full heart. This little love is just one of the many faces I can’t stop thinking about. I’ve gathered stories—honest, hopeful, and holy—and I can’t wait to share them.

You’ll get to meet these beautiful kids and hear their stories in the Alliance Kids Missions series this June.

A slow goodbye to Ecuador. Soon, I’ll write their stories but today we sway in hammocks and let the sun kiss our toes.

I’ve spent over 17 years sitting in church pews with my boys—quiet moments of worship, often unseen, but forever etched in my heart.

What a joy to celebrate Resurrection Sunday together, anchored in the truth that everything we are and everything we do flows from Christ’s extravagant love. His grace still reaches, still redeems, and still holds us close.

I’m deeply grateful that my children know and love Jesus—and that we can stand side by side in worship, not just today, but for eternity. There is no greater legacy than faith passed on.

He lives—and because He lives, we live too: abundantly, freely, and forever forgiven.

Christ Jesus lives today!

Holy Week invites us to slow down and see again the light that broke through the darkest night.

I created The Light Breaks Through: A Devotional for Women as a quiet companion for this sacred week—a gentle guide through Scripture, reflection, prayer, and presence.

And alongside it, a companion Family Devotional to help you walk the journey from palm branches to an empty tomb—together.

Both are my free gift to you.
May these pages help you pause, breathe, and remember:
He is still the Light that shines in every shadow.

Sometimes I forget, in this noisy world of platforms and performance, that I wasn’t called to be followed—I was called to follow.
If you see me pointing the way, may it always be toward Him.
Let’s walk this road together, eyes on Jesus.
