Psalms‬ ‭143‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ This was the verse of the day over a month ago and I’ve read/prayed it almost every day since. I feel like it covers everything you’d want to pray for to start a day. I’ll break down the way I see it: “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Beginning of every day God’s word reminds me that He loves me. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Prayer for general guidance, which dire

God doesn’t anoint people so they can play it safe. He anoints them so they can serve boldly. If God has placed something in you—skill, influence, leadership, discernment, teaching—your job isn’t to wait until you feel ready. Your job is obedience. Faithfulness sharpens the gift; neglect dulls it.

One of my constant prayers is for God to guide Kellie and I in raising our daughter. Yesterday at nap time I received a direct message from the Holy Spirit while dealing with a very unhappy Lily. She doesn’t have tantrums often, but when she’s overtired she can get a little unruly and irrational as many toddlers can. She was having a hard time already and wanted a snack before she went to sleep. So she asks for freeze dried strawberries, five of them to be exact. They are sma

We attended a Celebration of Life service for a friend of ours’ Dad that passed away beginning of this year. I took a few things away from it that will help me the rest of my life. When we pass away from this earth there are two main things that will matter. 1) did you know Jesus Christ and receive salvation? 2) what was your impact on others? If you received salvation, you know you’re going to be glorified with Christ and there is immense peace in that. You are saved. The ot

God’s timing is one of the hardest truths to live and one of the easiest to confess. We say we trust it—until our plans stall, doors stay shut, or prayers seem unanswered. Then impatience creeps in, and doubt starts whispering that maybe God forgot us. He didn’t. Scripture is clear: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Not some things. Everything. That includes the breakthroughs you’re begging for and the delays you’

Verse of the day today was Romans 10:9. The one that states what you have to do for Jesus to save your soul. The one that locks in your eternity. “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ It is so simple. But I can see how this belief w

We live in a world obsessed with instant results. But the Kingdom doesn’t operate on our clock. It operates on Christ’s. As believers, we’re called to work hard—not for our own glory, but as an act of worship. Scripture reminds us, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23). When we grind, hustle, and pour ourselves into the gifts God has given us, we’re planting seeds. But the harvest? That’s up to Him.

I’ve recently had to lean hard on prayer to God to help a situation I have no control over, but I care deeply about the outcome. I’ve prayed about the outcome and I’ve prayed for peace. I don’t know the outcome yet, but in recent days I’ve felt no more pressure about what will happen. At first, I felt bad like my brain just forgot about it. But I haven’t forgot, I think I just fully gave it to God and am trusting Him therefore I am no longer anxious. He took that for me. I co

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned is that worship and prayer aren’t just spiritual routines—they’re lifelines. When you’re overwhelmed with worry, worship shifts your focus from the problem to the One who has already gone before you. It pulls your eyes off the outcome and places them back on God’s character: steady, faithful, and unchanging. Prayer does the same. It’s not about convincing God to do what you want—it’s about surrendering what you can’t control. Somet

One of the most incredible things about walking with God is learning to recognize the voice and guidance of the Holy Spirit. It’s not always loud or dramatic — in fact, most of the time, it’s a quiet nudge. But when you’re consistently in the Word and in prayer, that nudge becomes easier to feel. You start to notice conviction in certain areas of your life — maybe to help someone, change a habit, or step away from something that’s pulling you away from God’s best for you. For

Sometimes life moves faster than we can keep up with — plans fall through, unexpected bills hit, relationships get complicated, and the world feels heavy. We pray, we plan, and yet sometimes it still feels like we’re just trying to catch our breath. It’s in those moments that God reminds us: “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10) Those words aren’t a call to give up — they’re an invitation to shift our focus. Because when life gets hectic, our peace doesn’t come fr
