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 count."

But real life rarely looks perfect.

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.
