The Holy work of waiting
Hannah’s story in the Bible speaks tenderly to women who know what it is to wait. She longed for a child while enduring years of disappointment, misunderstanding, and quiet grief. Scripture does not rush past her pain—it allows us to sit with her in it. In the temple, Hannah prayed with raw honesty. She poured out her soul before the Lord and surrendered her deepest desire to God’s will. If God chose to give her a son, she would give him back. This was not a casual promise; i
Forsaking All I Trust Him
What is obedience? What is the first thing we do when we question the meaning of a word? I don’t know about you, but I immediately go to my phone, tap on the Google app, type in “definition of obedience,” and in good ole Google fashion, a suggestion pops up for “definition of obedience in the Bible.” So for the purpose of this devotion, I will give you both definitions. “Obedience”- compliance with an order, request or law or submission to another’s authority. “Definition of
Doing the Right Thing, Even When You Don’t “Feel” Like It
I don’t know about you, but some days my “feelings” are all over the place. Maybe it’s because I’m now in my mid-forties (hello, perimenopause).

Learning God's Heart
I am a blessed young mom of three! I have Milo who is four, Maverick who is three, and God gifted us with our first girl this past year, Holland, who is one! I have the opportunity to stay home with these precious babies, and I absolutely love being a mom. It is the hardest, most sanctifying, yet fulfilling calling the Lord has graciously given me. A scripture that I love and that has been a big prayer for me as I parent these babies is Solomon’s prayer in 1 Kings 3:9–10: “Gi
Called to Mother
On my first shift back to work after having my first child, one of the doctors I was working with approached me and was asking how I was enjoying motherhood. In the small talk of how I was already back to work and my baby was 3-months old, he responded, “The days are long, but the years are short.” That was perhaps the first time I ever heard that quote, and I mulled over it the rest of my shift. In the midst of juggling the sleepless nights with work and keeping the househol
The Power of a Praying Mother
When I was a young teen and someone would ask me “what do you want to do one day?”, the first thing that I would think of as my reply would be “to be a mom.” The Lord took that desire of my heart and blessed my husband and I with our three boys - Asher, Micah, and Banner. I always loved being around babies and little children as I grew up. As a young girl, I remember playing with a baby doll and pretending to feed the baby its bottle and wrapping it up in a blanket. I remembe
