Your mornings don't have to be perfect

Hi friend, As this email goes out, I'm heading into one of the busiest seasons of my work year—Chromebook collection at school. Over the next week and a half, I'll be collecting and assessing over 700 devices, which means long days, mental exhaustion, and very little margin. And honestly? That's exactly why this week's podcast episode and blog post felt so important to share. Because in busy seasons, it's easy to believe that if we can't spend time with God perfectly, it somehow "doesn't...

Hi friend, I hope you had a restful Mother's Day weekend. For me, this weekend felt slower in the best way. Church had such a powerful message about overcoming evil with good, and honestly... it felt like one of those mornings where you could almost feel the enemy trying to create distraction and frustration before the message even began. A warm auditorium packed with 500+ people on a warm Sunday morning in West Palm Beach definitely tested everyone's patience a little. But despite all of...

Hi friend, This month is going to be... a lot. My husband is in one of his busiest seasons at work—he's helping host graduations for 29 different high schools and adult education, which means long days, multiple events, and honestly... we will barely get to see him. If's one of those seasons where everything feels a little heavier than usual. More responsibility at home.More to keep track of.Less margin. And if I'm being honest, these are the exact moments when my finances usually start to...

Hey friend, So I recorded my podcast last night... and let's just say—it didn't go as planned 😅 Right as I trying to upload and create the thumbnail, my daughter decided it was the perfect time to come in, talk to me, and completely derail what I was trying to do. And in that moment, I just kind of laughed... because honestly? That's real life. And it's actually a perfect picture of what this season has felt like for me when it comes to spending time with God. I've had this idea in my head...

Hey friend, I published something new today—and it's one of the most honest things I've written about money. If you've ever felt like: no matter how hard you try, you can't get ahead your money disappears faster than you can track it or you shut down completely when things get tight this is for you. Because the truth is... Most of us don't have a discipline problem. We have a system problem. And we've been trying to force ourselves into systems that were never built for real life—or for the...

Hi friend, I've been sitting on this for a while... because I didn't fully realize what I was doing. When it came to money, I wasn't just stressed. I was avoiding it. Not because I didn't care. But because I cared so much that I felt likeone wrong move could make everything worse. So I would:wait too long to pay thingsavoiding checking balancesput things off "just in case" And it kept me stuck. I finally put words to it in this week's post and podcast: 👉 Overwhelmed with Finances? Or watch on...

Hi friend, I've been trying to write this for a while. Not because I didn't know what to say... but because I wasn't fully ready to admit how bad things had gotten. Over the last few months, I didn't just feel overwhelmed. I slowly shut down. Not in a dramatic way.Not in a way anyone would immediately notice. But in the quiet, everyday parts of life—my home, my routines, my responsibilities, my motivation... even my relationship with God. I didn't have a name for it at the time. But looking...

Hi friend, I’ve been trying to publish this all month. Not because I didn’t believe in it…but because I kept delaying it. At first, I told myself I needed to record the video first. And no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it right.Then last week I got sick and was completely wiped out for days. And at some point, I realized: I was still delaying something I knew I was supposed to share. So I just published the post. No podcast.No perfect rollout.Just obedience. And honestly… that’s what...

Hi friend, I want to share something personal with you today—something that’s been stirring in my heart for a while now. A couple years ago, I thought I knew what God's promise for my life looked like. I tried to make it happen my way… and everything crumbled. But when I finally surrendered, He gave me a new promise:“This time next year, you will be in the house with a baby in your belly.” At the time, it didn’t make sense. We were deep in debt, overwhelmed, and exhausted. But then He gave me...

Hey sweet friend, This summer has been a lot — and I’ll be honest, I’ve been under the weather lately while also home with Bella on break. So things haven’t exactly gone to plan. 😅 But even in the chaos and the delay, I still felt God prompting me to share this week's message. Because it’s one that changed my prayer life in a huge way... and I believe it can do the same for you. It’s all about creating your own prayer wall — a space in your home to organize your prayers, focus your heart, and...
