Your Pain Does Not Define You
Who we are as people is not comprised of the negative pieces of our lives, but the positive. By the ways we’ve stood back up after being pushed down, risen after falling. By the way we’ve continued, and never given up.
So Much Competes With God, But Nothing Compares
Following God is not a competition, not a fleeting pleasure, not something that can negatively consume you and leave you empty, and still longing to be filled.
I Will Love You So Well, You’ll Forget You Were Ever Broken
I will love you until you forget—who she was, how she left, why you stopped believing in love and in yourself for a minute. I will love you until you remember your worth.
Be The Change The World So Desperately Needs
Be the laughter that spreads, the smile that greets a person who is struggling through their day. Be the encouragement a stranger needs, a shoulder for one to lean on, a hand to pull them back to their feet again.
I Love You (More)
I love you more. Which is to say that we all have numbered days, but I want to spend my temporary forever standing next to you.
Release And Begin Again
Right now I’m breathing in the hope for tomorrow. I’m exhaling my frustration, my stress, my anxiety. I’m releasing. And beginning again.
Rest In The Promises Of God
Faith is not conditional, not something that changes when the world doesn’t go your way. Faith has a foundation—so build yours in Him and don’t let it be shaken.
True Friendship Knows No Distance
Even when life gets complicated, true friendship remains.
