The Practice of the Presence
What if the life God wants you to build feels overwhelming? In this series, I’m being real about the chaos in my mind—wedding plans, extra work, and a relentless inner critic. From the scary truth that God knows all our thoughts (Psalm 139) to the comfort of His calming presence, this journey is about embracing both the good and the bad. Learn to keep moving toward your 2026 goals, trusting that the One who created you is already part of your struggles.
Speaking Life into the “Knit”
I used to think my 2026 goals—the house, the wedding, the overtime—were distractions from God. I felt like they were the things keeping me from being 'spiritual.' But what if the life I’m building is actually evidence of His goodness? Today I’m learning to see my 'to-do' list as a 'wonderful work' and narrating my life with grace instead of guilt.
When Being Known Feels Scary
We’re told that God knowing our every thought is a comfort, but to be honest? It’s scary. It’s scary because He hears the way I bully myself and the 'unfiltered' thoughts I try to hide. Today, I’m putting down the mask of the 'perfect' Christian walk and exploring the relief of being fully known and still fully loved.
When Faith and Feelings Don’t Match
Satan doesn’t need to curse me; I do a good enough job of that myself. My own voice is harsher than any critic I’ll ever face. So why am I still writing this blog? Today, I’m putting down the mask of 'getting better' and talking about the reality of the struggle."
Who Am I When I’m Doing "Nothing"?
🛑 Stop Begging. Start Aligning.
Ever feel like you’re a servant trying to stay employed rather than a daughter sitting at the table? 😬 We often treat our worth like a variable—something that goes up when we’re "perfect" and down when we’re yelling at the ceiling. You aren’t a "fixer-upper" project; you are God’s poíēma—His masterpiece. You aren’t working toward a status; you are already "Completed" (Colossians 2:10).
