If I tried to list every reason I have to be grateful, I’d run out of paper. Not because my life is perfect, but because I’ve learned that blessings are not always wrapped in pretty paper or delivered on sunny days. Some of my reasons are obvious—family, friends, a roof over my head, food on…

What’s In A Song?
Music heals me. You might say I am just a hopeless romantic. You might be right, perhaps I am. Music just has a way of soothing my soul. And there are certain ones that I could listen to over and over again and still have the same effect on me, just like the first time…
Rahab
When Your Past Doesn’t Define You. How God writes redemption into even the most broken beginnings… There are women who wear their past like a scarlet letter — visible, loud, hard to hide. Maybe not in how they dress or speak, but in how they carry shame. Regret. The feeling of being disqualified. The whispers…
Loyalty to Legacy
What Ruth and Naomi Teach Us About Women’s Strength Today… In the quiet pages of the book of Ruth, nestled between the lines of loss and famine, is a story that still whispers truth into the lives of women today. Ruth wasn’t born into Naomi’s world. She married into it—and then, after loss shattered their…
She Is Still Seen
A Letter to the Women of Today… They weren’t given names in the text. The woman who knelt with her alabaster jar, breaking it open in pure devotion.

Learning to Trust in the Stillness… There are seasons in life when God feels quiet. Not absent. Not gone. Just… silent. You pray, and the words feel like they’re drifting into the void. You ask for signs, direction, comfort—but everything around you feels still. Empty. Quiet. It’s the kind of quiet that makes your doubts…

There’s a quiet truth that often gets lost in the noise of achievement and self-preservation: “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” At first glance, it sounds poetic. But if you sit with it long enough, it begins to unfold like a…
Value What You Have
While You Have It.. It’s a phrase we hear often. It sounds simple—almost too obvious to be profound. But life has a way of teaching us just how deep those words really go. We don’t always recognize the value of something while it’s right in front of us. The everyday moments. The people who text…
