10 Small Ways to Bring Christ into Your Day
Need a quick faith pick-me-up? Here is my list of 10 small ways you can use daily to help connect you to Jesus!
Eleven-Eleven
I find beauty in the parallel lines of 11:11; since I look for any excuse to say a little prayer during the chaos of my everyday, I say a prayer when the clock strikes that time. I'll stop what I'm doing, bow my head, and talk to God. I'll say a prayer of gratitude or make a request. I'll check in with myself, and ask the Lord to continue to bless me.
A Model of Godly Love: A Father’s Day Post
My dad was cleaning out his closet one day. He pulled out this shirt-sweater-thing. It wasn't pretty, but it also wasn't ugly. It was really cool, though, and I wanted it. It had varying shades of red, yellow, and green stripes. It was a statement piece for sure.
Bringing God into a Secular World
Bringing God into the secular world doesn’t mean we devalue God. In reality, it means that we invite God to be present in places He’s been intentionally (or unintentionally) excluded from. In order to see Him, we need to look for Him. And it’s not that hard to find Him if we actually look!
A Friendship Like No Other
When I felt abandoned, hopeless, lost, insecure, and angry at the world around me, I made a new friend... But this reality of having Christ as my friend helped build up to the (very important and eternally true) reality that He's so much more than that. My relationship with Him is a friendship like no other.
Choosing Him Every Day
In all moments of our life, we need to find Him. But, we need to realize that finding Him doesn't mean He left; it means we left.
He wasn't lost. I was lost.
She Runs to Me: A Mother’s Day Post
In mothers modeling themselves after Mary, when our earthly mother also holds our hand, we cannot fall. And though we might physically, emotionally, or spiritually fall, we never really do when we are holding the hand of a mother; a woman who will never let go.
Love Written: The Art of Prayer Journaling
Prayer is a love language. It's us telling God that we love and trust Him enough to talk to Him. After all, communication in any relationship is foundational to its success. And documenting this communication in a journal is simply one way of doing it.
It's love written.

To Stand with the Suffering: Using Your Blessings to Power Compassion
"To stand with the suffering means that you need to use your own blessings, whether they be ones you've experienced in the past or ones you are experiencing now, to power your drive to be compassionate... and think: maybe God is sending you to answer their prayers."
