🌱 The Promise You’re Waiting On Might Just Need This…


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 a next step:
​“Prepare the house to list in January.”

And I chose to obey. I didn’t have all the answers, but I had His voice—and that was enough. I laid down my plans and picked up His, unsure where it would lead but trusting that He would guide every step.

That simple instruction—that moment of obedience—was the turning point.
It’s become the core of what I now call the Promised House Project.

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...
