All my life I was taught to make decisions. To create my own destiny and carve out my own path. I was never taught to follow...until I decided to follow God. Over the years, I had gotten used to calling my own shots. To make the same mistakes over and over and hope someone how … Continue reading Learning to Follow

Jesus Saved Me
So here's my story. I've debated over and over if I was ready to be vulnerable enough to share it. It's a little nerve-wracking because I'm allowing so many into this personal story. But after sharing with my congregation and within women's events, I've learned to embrace my trials. Warning: this is a long story … Continue reading Jesus Saved Me

Here’s to 25!

Abundant Blessing from Full Surrender
The more I give to God, the more doors He opens. To live in full surrender is to put God as my first priority in all areas. It's physically letting go of my current stressor (shopping for a house) and letting God lead me where I need to go. Full surrender is a hard concept … Continue reading Abundant Blessing from Full Surrender
