Hey Reader, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” —Isaiah 30:15 Last weekend reminded me of something sacred. Something I pray you’ll experience too. Last weekend reminded me of something sacred—something I pray you’ll experience too. I had the honor of hosting the Prayer-Filled Retreat, and as I watched women pause, breathe, and simply be with God, I saw something powerful begin to unfold: He filled them. Not because they had it all...

Hey Reader, October might just be my favorite month. The leaves are changing, fall flavors are everywhere, and it’s full of cozy vibes. But for me, it’s extra special because it holds two of my favorite dates: my anniversary and my birthday. This week, Willie and I celebrate 14 years of marriage. Yes, fourteen. That’s more than a decade of love, laughter, tears, apologies, inside jokes, “What do you want for dinner?” debates, and learning that somehow socks still don’t walk themselves to the...

Hey Reader, “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul.” —Psalm 23:2–3 He restores my soul. Words from scripture that I’ve quoted since I was a little girl in Sunday school. Words that I've learned are so true, real, and powerful. But now, as an adult, I read them with fresh eyes. I realize that the Lord created me to be restored. Not just held together, not just surviving—but brought back to wholeness. However, that kind of restoration...

Hey Reader, We’ve come to the final part of Well Encounters, and I believe this last devotional might be the most exciting of all. So often we stop at the encounter. We meet Jesus, feel refreshed, and quietly hold that moment close. But what if your encounter is meant to overflow into someone else’s transformation? This week, we look at how one woman’s shame-filled past became the spark for a powerful testimony. She left her water jar behind and ran into purpose. The same can be true for you....

Hey Reader, Summer may have officially ended on the calendar, but that doesn’t mean the rhythm of rest has to leave with it. In fact, as the pace of life picks back up, this is when we need the pause even more. Here’s the truth: others may not say it out loud, but they can see your weariness just like you feel it. And God? He sees it too. That’s why He created rhythms of pause and restoration from the very beginning. The pause is for your protection. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s how you...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Week 2 of our Well Encounters Devotional. I pray last week’s devotional gave you a fresh sense of how Jesus meets us in our mess, not in our perfection. This week, we’re going deeper. Sometimes we think change starts with fixing behaviors, but Jesus shows us that real transformation happens when we get to the heart of the matter. In this next part of the story, Jesus lovingly uncovers what’s been hidden and offers a better way. If you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns...

Hey Reader, Before the weekend unfolds, I want to offer a reminder that has carried me through so many seasons: You don’t have to keep going on empty. Weekends can be a divine reset—an opportunity to slow down, refill, and realign with God’s heart. Not out of duty, but out of deep need. If you’re feeling spiritually dry or stretched thin, I want to gently invite you to pause—and choose one way to reconnect with the Word this weekend. Maybe that looks like… Going deeper with a focused study...

Dear Reader, What if the very thing fueling your anxiety is also the pathway to peace? While studying Philippians recently, I realized I had read the same verses on anxiety for years but overlooked something Paul revealed to the church in Philippi. They were under heavy pressure, facing persecution and everyday worries. And right in the middle of their struggles, Paul gave them a framework for peace that still applies to us today. Philippians 4:6–9 (NKJV) says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in...

Hey Reader, As believers, we are called to be salt and light in a world that often feels divided, disoriented, or desperate for truth. But the strength of our witness begins at the well—with a personal encounter with Jesus. That’s why I’m inviting you into this 3-week devotional journey, Well Encounters: Finding Living Water in Unexpected Places. Together, we’ll revisit a moment in John 4 where Jesus, full of grace and truth, engages a woman many had written off. He didn’t shame her. He...
