    How to Embrace Change: 8 Mindsets to Help You

    October 16, 2019 /

    It happened on a balmy August evening with locusts droning on like a reminder that the earth would keep spinning, even if my world had shifted in an uncomfortable direction.  It was time to learn how to embrace change, and it wasn’t going to be a lesson that came easily. We will all face seasons of drastic change in life, and that August evening threw me like few others.  In a matter of minutes, every dream I’d been dreaming – every plan I’d been carefully laying down like a piece of some giant puzzle – fell to the wayside, and I was left alone with a radically shifted set of…

    How to Let Go and Let God Lead You in Life

    July 17, 2019 /

    I take a long walk with a friend beneath the golden rays of summer sunlight. We talk about what God is doing in our lives, about plans and the future and how we want to be on board with whatever he has for us.  “I want to learn to let go and let God lead me,” I tell my friend, “but I’m struggling with what this looks like on a practical level.” We want to be holy women, women sold out for a kingdom purpose that’s bigger than ourselves. We want to be women who love well and listen well and aren’t afraid to climb difficult summits for the sake…

    15 Inspiring Bible Verses About Goals and Dreams

    January 10, 2018 /

    We were just beginning to climb out from beneath the weight of an oppressive winter storm when another cold front blew in.  I stared out the window and decided it was a good time to set some goals that would help me endure the long winter weeks ahead.  I began by pulling out my Bible as I made a list of Bible verses about goals and dreams.

    What Does God Say About Making Decisions?

    March 8, 2017 /

    When it comes to walking by faith, there’s one question I’ve grappled with more than any other: What does God say about making decisions?  I want to follow God and honor him with my choices.  Yet, at times, I’ve struggled to find his direction. The summer after my junior year of college, I found a job working in a deli thousands of miles from my home in Pennsylvania.  For three months, I lived outside Denali National Park, Alaska.  In some ways, I was running from the life I’d created for myself at home.  On a different level, I was searching for direction from God. I invite you to return with…
