Have you ever looked back and realized that God was taking care of you long before you understood why? For a long time, I thought my job was just something I needed to survive. A way to pay the bills. A season I had to endure. But lately, I’ve been seeing it differently. I’m realizing…

Dear 2026
We’re stepping into you without a clean slate. We’re bringing unfinished conversations, tired hearts, quiet hopes, and lessons we didn’t ask to learn but learned anyway. Some of us are coming in stronger. Some softer. Some carrying grief so gently it almost looks like calm. Some still learning that healing doesn’t always need an explanation….
Subtle Strength
She is not loud, but she is deep… She is the kind of person who notices small things — not because life has been gentle with her, but because she learned early that meaning often hides in quiet places. She carries faith not as a performance, but as a compass. God is not a concept…
Finding Comfort in Familiar Things
There’s a certain comfort in the things that don’t change. The mug you always reach for without thinking. The chair that seems to know how you like to sit. The familiar sounds of a home that has heard your silence more than your words. “Familiar doesn’t mean boring. It means safe.” We often chase what’s…
Life Is A Book
Imagine reading a book with no way to turn back the page. No rereading a chapter. No flipping back to catch what you missed. No undo. How carefully would you read it? Life feels a lot like that.

But the kind that whispers through everyday choices — the kind that keeps going even when the heart feels tired, unsure, or…
Invisible Disease
When Your Body Starts Explaining What You’ve Been Feeling All Along There are moments in life when your body starts giving you answers before you even know the right questions to ask. For a while now, I’ve noticed things that didn’t feel quite “normal” — the kind of tired that sinks into your bones, the…
You Don’t Have To…
You Don’t Have to Carry It Forever. Just because someone projected their hurt onto you doesn’t mean you have to carry it the rest of your life. Sometimes pain passes through people like a storm that doesn’t know where to land. It finds the closest heart—often the kindest one—and pours itself there. And before you…
What’s in a Courtesy?
The Courtesy We Owe Each Other… In the legal world, there’s a word — Esquire. It’s not just a job title. It’s a courtesy. A way of placing respect right alongside someone’s name. The world doesn’t run on Esquire, but it does run on something like it. Because every day, whether we notice or not,…
