There was a time in my life when I lived either behind me or ahead of me. Behind me, replaying mistakes, wishing I had done things differently. Ahead of me,  chasing dreams, praying for doors to open, anxiously waiting for “the day” everything would finally fall into place. But somewhere along the way, God began teaching me something softer… something steadier. He reminded me of this: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has e

One year ago today, I sat across the table from my pastor’s wife and shared a dream God had quietly been growing in my heart, a call to discipleship, to walk alongside others as they pursued Jesus more deeply. I remember her kindness, her gentle listening, and her wisdom. She encouraged me to start small, to take the next faithful step, and to trust God with the outcome. That conversation stayed with me. Later that same afternoon, with faith that felt both brave and trembling

This morning, God revealed something deeply inspiring to me—something I believe is meant to be shared with the women of my generation. To the women in your 50's and 60's: you are not winding down—you are stepping into your prime. The Lord says now is the time. Now is the time to teach, mentor, pour into, encourage, and love on others. Now is the time to step up and step out, to serve in even greater ways than before. Now is the time to take your seat at the table—not as a gue

Eighteen years old. Sitting in a room I never imagined I would be in. Listening to women share stories I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear. The very first thing they told us in Al-Anon was this: You cannot walk this journey alone. They didn’t hand us a rule book. They handed us a relationship. They told us to find someone who wasn’t new — someone seasoned. A woman mature in her healing. Someone who reflected the kind of person we hoped to become one day. And that’s where I met

I have the honor of sitting across the table from so many women—different backgrounds, different ages, different stories. And yet, one common thread always seems to surface in our conversations. Quietly, almost apologetically, they say: “I believe God has called me to write… to speak… to teach. But there are already so many incredible women doing that. Maybe I’m just hearing what I want to hear and not God’s voice.” So I ask them a simple question. “What’s your favorite food?

God revealed something that happens to many believers—it’s often how the enemy comes in to steal what God has spoken. Scripture warns us of this very thing: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Let’s say God places an assignment in your heart: write a testimony book, because your story could change lives. At first, you’re excited. You’re full of faith. You tell others what you believe God spoke to you. Then comes the moment you

Isn’t it deeply encouraging to see how the early disciples walked with such clarity and humility when they encountered new believers? When the disciples went out into towns and cities, they often met people who already believed in Jesus and were teaching about Him. Yet they didn’t assume that belief alone meant fullness. Instead, they asked intentional and loving questions: “How did you come to know Jesus?” “Were you baptized with water?” “Have you received the Holy Spirit?”

We must be careful not to chase spiritual leaders, seeking a word from them as though they hold the key to our future. No prophet, pastor, or teacher was ever meant to replace the voice of God in our lives. Yes, God has given gifts to His people. Prophecy, encouragement, discernment, wisdom, these are beautiful and biblical. But  the gift must never take the place of the Giver. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27 God desires a  personal r

In Leviticus 26, God lays out something breathtakingly simple—and profoundly powerful. He speaks to His people about what life looks like when we put Him first: when we refuse idols, honor His Sabbath, revere His sanctuary, and choose obedience. The promises that follow are not small. They are generous. Overflowing. Life-giving. God says He will send rain in its season. Our land will yield fruit. We will never be without—so abundant that we’ll still be enjoying the old harves

A message for the Ministry with Coffee family  There are moments when God interrupts our routines to restore what has quietly been compromised. One evening, while sitting at dinner with pastors, our conversation turned toward a teaching on the Jezebel spirit. As one pastor described it as the most insightful explanation he had ever heard, something in my spirit came alive. I sensed the Lord drawing me in, not just to listen, but to respond. What God began to reveal was not me

I want to share a dream with you, not because it was about me, but because I believe it was meant to  reach you . I dreamed that we owned a piece of land. It belonged to us, but it needed a lot of work. It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t finished. And yet, in our hearts, we carried a dream, to build a huge pond there. That felt meaningful. That felt good. It felt like enough. But then, sometime later, though I don’t know how much time had passed, I saw the land again. It had expa

Today, I found myself drawn deeply into the book of Job. Every time I read this story, it feels just as powerful, just as raw, and just as personal as the first time. Job’s life was blessed in every way. He loved God wholeheartedly and placed Him first above all else. Scripture tells us that Job was  “blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil”  (Job 1:1). He did everything right—yet the unimaginable still happened. God allowed Satan to test Job, with only one rest

Today, I invite you to imagine yourself as a branch of an olive tree— rooted, alive, and deeply connected to the source of oil: the Holy Spirit. Not striving. Not grasping. Not running dry. Just abiding. Jesus reminds us of this sacred connection: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5 As long as we remain connected, we will never lack what we need to do the work the Lord

What It Really Means to Lay Down Your Life For a long time, I believed that laying down your life for Christ was something horrible—something marked by loss, suffering, and constant self-denial. I was raised in a church culture where devotion was measured by how much you suffered, how much you did without, and how much you gave away. The more uncomfortable your life was, the more you were told you looked like Christ. Sacrifice became a standard, and suffering often felt like

Pause. Pray. Sit with the Father before you say yes. God has been gently and faithfully working in my heart as I seek Him for His plans for 2026. This season has felt less about  doing more  and more about  listening deeper . I’ve been asking Him not only where He wants me to serve, but where He wants me to rest, to be present, and to trust Him with my “no.” “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, a

With just ten days until Christmas, I find my heart pausing—not rushing, not striving, but listening. There is a still small voice whispering beneath the noise of the season. A voice not found in chaos or pressure, but in quiet surrender. It’s the same voice Elijah heard, not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire, but in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11–12). What is He whispering to you? Is He calling you into a season of rest, where your soul finally exhales? Is

The Father's Love ( A Dream, A Battle, and a Father’s Love) I recently had a dream so vivid and symbolic that I knew it carried meaning beyond the surface. It revealed something deep, tender, and fierce about the heart of God — something I believe He wants many of us to understand in this season. The Dream I was helping repair a lake home, standing beneath the structure with water rising up around me. It was quiet and dim — the kind of place where hidden work happens, the kin

I recently sat down with a young man over coffee to talk about ministry. He’s just beginning his journey, yet the wisdom he carried honestly humbled me. Sometimes God uses the newer voices to remind us of truths we’ve started to overlook. I’m in a season where God has placed a dream inside my heart—a desire and an assignment—to equip His daughters to answer their unique calling. For some, that calling is raising babies and stewarding a home. For others, it’s walking faithfull

Your YES Matters! There’s a powerful question we each need to sit with from time to time: What am I allowing God to accomplish through me? We often think about what God is doing  in  us, and that matters. But God also desires to pour Himself through us, shaping the world around us with our obedience, our availability, and our yes. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”  — Ephesians 2:10 Are We Seek

When the Wilderness Becomes Holy Ground Have you ever found yourself in a season so hard that you wondered if God had forgotten about you? The wilderness can feel like silence, like unanswered prayers, closed doors, or dreams that just won’t take shape. But what if this very wilderness is the place where God wants to shine the brightest in you? Sometimes we think God’s blessings only show up in comfort, when everything feels easy, when prayers are answered quickly, when peopl
