Three can be a crowd, right? Especially when you’re longing to spend time with a specific person one on one. Sometimes I wonder if God just wants to spend one on one time with us and we create 3rd wheels. Between Bible Study, conferences, Prayer Meetings, Missions Trips, church meetings etc there are many things…

Tweens & Teens Lessons I Wish I knew (PT2)

September Monthly Devotional: The Creativity In You
I waited for everyone to leave the house. Running downstairs full of excitement to blast her latest song. Something about it just took me to a whole other world. I’d turned the song so loud I couldn’t hear reality. My ears pierced with freedom and fun.
Counterfeit Forgiveness & Reaching The Real (PT1)
At 13, I was sneaking into clubs pretending I was 18. 14, was filled with many pregnancies scares and back then I was completely open to the idea of abortion. ( Not today) 15, I was skipping school, and hanging out with older men.

God gave me this sweet prophetic word. I pray it blessed you as much as it blessed me. “I’m your advocate” carries a deeper meaning than when God first whispered it to me. In fact, it isn’t just 3 little words anymore. Those 3 little words say, “God-centered Advocacy” which means there is no need…
Hello Spring Reading: Decluttering Your Mind and Soul
Spring has to be my favorite season. It’s the season for jean jackets and walks to local coffee shops. In this season, many people focus on throwing out old coaches, vintage clothes from the ’90’s and much more. However, what is overlooked often is the inner declutter we need in our minds and hearts. I’m…
May Monthly Devotional: Unclaimed Joy
So many of us are walking around unaware of unclaimed properties we own. It could be an ancestor who left us land, or a previous job having unclaimed funding for us. Whatever it is; its something that is ours but we do not have the understanding of ownership to claim it. This happens much in…
