A Beloved—Yet Overlooked—Instruction from Jesus
We tend to overlook some of Jesus’ last words in the Bible—words He said before He ascended into heaven. Which words in particular, you ask? That would be a sentence close to my heart. In the very last chapter of John, Jesus says, “Come and have breakfast.”(John 21:12)
For someone who doesn’t believe in skipping meals—especially ...
Rid Me of Myself – Devotional 1
With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.
Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...
As Lent Begins + 40-Day Devotional
As Jesus journeyed to Jerusalem on the back of a colt, crowds of people waved palm branches and lined His path with their coats. They welcomed Him as their King, their Messiah, and their Deliverer.
The people of Israel pinned their hopes on Jesus. He had just raised His friend Lazarus from the dead after four ...
Does This Mindset Distance You From God?
You don’t need to scroll social media for long before you hear this message on loop: “You deserve it.”
Buy this irrationally expensive purse (that costs as much as a downpayment on a house) because you deserve it.
Indulge in this decadent dessert (that you'll need to work off the rest of the week) because you deserve ...
A Day in the Life of a People-Pleasing, Over-Anxious, Always-Hurried, Caffeine-Fuelled Work-In-Progress
“Guys, are you ready to leave?”
“Guys??”
“GUYSSS!!”
A bored, disengaged response bounces back from my teens upstairs.
“Why are you yelling? We already said we’re ready.”
I’m pacing in my high heels, clickety-clacking on the marble floor. My heart is beating faster than it should.
My hair is pulled into a messy morning ponytail. But I plan to tame the ...
When Creating is Difficult
Here's something fairly ironic: I'm at a writer's retreat, but didn't manage to write my post last evening. I guess that's what happens when you talk about writing rather than, well, write. But the retreat was everything I needed for a soul refresher to create content that glorifies God. And I did get some writing ...
Why “No Regrets” Is An Unhelpful Phrase
Although I was determined not to mindlessly scroll on my phone in the new year, I found myself swiping my screen on Instagram the other day. Thankfully, my pointless perusal turned out to be partly helpful because it became the introduction of this blog! (I know...excuses, excuses, excuses!). While browsing, I came across a Bollywood ...
Does This Outweigh Your Reputation?
Like many of you reading this post, I decided that healthy eating would be a worthy goal this year. To that end, I’ve started curating a “snack box” every morning. What’s in this mysterious snack box you might ask? Well, it contains portioned-out munchies for my day. Yesterday’s box, for instance, included fruit for my ...

In weeks one and two, we looked at the truths:
Christmas is God’s intervention in our story of rebellion
