5 Things Grief Is Not

Last week, I shared in this Instagram post that I was struggling with grief over my health. I didn't expect it to resonate so much with those who follow me there, but whenever I asked if they wanted to see more content on grief, I got a resounding yes. It made me realize that so often we are quick to give others permission to fall apart and to not hold everything together; to be broken. But what about grieving? Grieving over your health may be a new concept for some. There hasn't been a[...]

Fully Known and Fully Loved Even When You’re Sick & Single

Last week, we talked about 3 lies you may believe if you are sick and single. Not only did we identify these lies, but we looked at what Scripture says about these lies. Today, we are going to do part 2 of our Sick and Single series: Fully Known and Fully Loved...Even When You're Sick and Single. I sorta went back and forth with this title. If you are sick and single, neither of these make you less worthy of love. Nor do they make you less of a human being. No one would ever be settling were th[...]

3 Lies You May believe if you are sick and single

Today we are beginning a two part series called: Sick and Single. Read Part 2: Fully Known & Fully Loved; Even When I'm Sick & Single And can I share a little confession with you? I love love. I'm one of those people that enjoys the cheesy Hallmark movies that are so predictable and corny. I get little butterflies watching others love stories unfold.

I transitioned to a wheelchair & did a celebratory photoshoot

If you missed it, in this post, I gave the inside scoop and latest updates from my life in the past year. One of the biggest changes and transitions was that I became a wheelchair user. I am not bound to my wheelchair and do still walk sometimes if the outing is short or I am feeling well. A person that needs a wheelchair but can also still walk is called being an ambulatory wheelchair user. For the most part, I have been using it at the recommendation of my doctor whenever I go out in order[...]

Do You Let Yourself Dream? Revealing My Word For 2021

For the last two years, I have prayed for a word to focus on through the new year. And like I have done for the past two years, at the end of 2020 I began praying for a word to define 2021. At the end of arguably one of the hardest years in modern history and also on a personal level, I sat down to pray through my quiet time. In that moment with the Lord, He impressed on my heart my word for 2021...dream. My heart was suddenly filled with conviction as tears welled up in my eyes. I knew[...]
