The wrestling, the wrestling, the wrestling. You never count on the brawl. It sneaks up from a dark alley, and suddenly, there you are, flat on your back. You have no idea what just hit you. You never count on it, never plan for it, and can never be prepared for it. The fight may […]

I have heard this idea, and it is even taught. It has been said so often and has been used so much that people quote it and believe it. It is the idea that you have to “learn to be okay alone.” I understand some of where it comes from, maybe the idea of learning […]

I recently had a conversation with someone where we were comparing big cities, the activities, and things that you can do there, and we concluded, “They are all the same.” You experience good eats, you sit at a rooftop bar or nice restaurant.

I got a text with bad news at 9:45 a.m., right before Sunday morning service. I had trouble breathing from that moment forward.

Waiting on that career that will fulfill you. Waiting for your kids to turn their lives around. Waiting to feel […]

“There is no message without a Mess.” Steven Furtick- I was listening to a sermon this week and was inspired by this quote and idea. Furtick leaned into the idea that often we get caught in the trap of believing that life and our spiritual journey is a strategic set of steps. One, Two, Three. […]

I am a single woman. A single woman with a beautiful career, a calling, purpose, and passion deep in my bones. I live my life with vibrancy and pour my heart and soul into everything I do. Anything I put my hands to, I do it with excellence because I am the daughter of Chuck […]

It was a Sunday morning in 2019, I was driving from a conference I attended for work in San Diego up to L.A. to see my brother lead worship at his church. He called me: “Hey, you want to sing this song with me this morning for our 11am service?” “Yes! I know that song […]
