Deeper Life: Finding beauty in the ashes of our broken dreams

It’s hard to see beauty when she’s dancing in the ashes of our broken dreams. But with chubby cheeks covered in soot, she’s always there kicking up dust, revealing an eternal perspective, which can be hidden but not destroyed.

Encouragement to share your gifts with the world

What if a storm cloud refused to rain? Would it stay dark forever? How heavy would it get? How many flowers would miss their chance to bloom, waiting for water that never fell?   What if you refuse to share your heart with the world? Will it be dark forever? How heavy will it get? […]

Encouragement! For when you feel stuck

I see you bogged down with stress, like you’re mired in quicksand up to your neck- heavy laden, motionless, stuck, ready to give up- I want to encourage you back into Hope. With God, there is no such thing as a trap. If you lift Your eyes to the heavens, He’ll strengthen you through the […]

Own your sensitivity

It’s crazy, but it’s true – I have to warn you. They’ll literally try to talk you out of being yourself. they’ll go to dramatic lengths to complete this task- It’s like they have an advertising campaign specifically designed to silence you, but don’t let them fool you. Trust me: There is no such thing as […]
