When God Leads Us Into the Unknown: A Shared Season of Renewal
Waiting in the Word There are seasons when God’s invitation is not to do more—but to go deeper . I find myself in one of those seasons right now. And as I sit with it, I realize this season isn’t just about where God has me —it’s about where He has been faithfully leading so many of us together . Over the past months, I’ve had the sacred honor of walking alongside clients who entered coaching longing for change. Some came hoping to lose weight. Others came weary, burned out,

When the Season Doesn’t Feel Merry and Bright
When We are not feeling that Christmas Joy There are seasons when the world tells us to sparkle—to gather, to celebrate, to feel grateful and full. But sometimes the heart doesn’t match the music. Sometimes this season feels empty. Marked by disappointment, loss, unmet expectations, or pain that hasn’t loosened its grip. And instead of joy, what rises is weariness. Instead of celebration, a quiet ache. If this is you, you are not failing the season.You are living honestly wi

Entering the Life-Light
The Light of the World Scripture: John 1:9–13 (The Message) The Life-Light was the real thing. Every person entering Life he brings into Light… But whoever believed he was who he claimed and would do what he said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves. There are moments when a verse does not simply speak to us—it enters us. John tells us that Jesus is not just a bearer of light, but Life itself , and that this Life is the Light of all people. This is not

Finishing the Year Well: From Pressure to Peace, From Worry to Worship
A calendar filled with love I don’t know about you, but this time of year has a way of sneaking up on me. Maybe it’s the cold settling in — I’m not exactly a winter girl. Maybe it’s the inbox full of “Finish Strong!” messages. Maybe it’s the questions that swirl around like snow: Did I do everything I said I would do this year? Did I lose the weight? Save the money? Grow the business? Heal the relationship? And if I’m honest…I get tired just thinking about it. There’s a part

Returning to God's Heart: A Journey of Awakening
There’s a moment in Scripture that has been stirring in me this week—a moment of holy awakening, a moment of clarity so sharp it cuts straight through the fog of forgetfulness. It’s the scene in 2 Kings 22 , when young King Josiah hears the Word of the Lord for the first time. The Book of the Law is found after generations of dust and neglect, and when it is read aloud, something breaks open inside him. He tears his garments in grief. Not because God rejected him. But becau

The Cup of Salvation: The Loving Invitation Back to God
The Tree of Life In the last post, we sat with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane and explored the weight of the Cup of Suffering —the cup filled with sorrow, wrath, judgment, and the unbearable cost of human sin. Jesus prayed: “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” He drank that cup—fully, painfully, willingly—so we would never have to. But the story doesn’t end with the cup of suffering. Because of His obedience, another cup

From the Cup of Suffering to the Cup That Overflows: A Journey to the King’s Table
Previously, we explored the Cup of Salvation—the doorway back to God’s heart and the beginning of our restored relationship with Him.” Now we enter into the next step of the journey - The Cup that Overflows We sat with the weight of that moment, recognizing the sacrifice, agony, and obedience that poured out of Jesus’ heart on His way to the cross.That cup was heavy—full of judgment, darkness, and the cost of redemption. Jesus drank it so we wouldn’t have to. We embraced the

The Cup of Suffering and God's Redemption Story
What Is “the Cup” in Luke 22:42? In Scripture, “the cup” is a metaphor that carries deep meaning. It often represents: 1. A Portion Assigned by God In ancient culture, a cup was the drink set before you—what you were “given to drink.”In Scripture, this symbolized one’s appointed experience, destiny, or calling—whether joyful or sorrowful. 2. God’s Wrath, Judgment, or Suffering Many Old Testament passages describe “the cup” as the cup of God’s wrath or the weight of judgment(

Reformed by Love: Seeing Life Through God’s Perfect Lens
"Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.” — Romans 12:2, The People’s Translation The Word That Stopped Me: Reformation The word reformation has been echoing in my heart this week. Not just as a concept of change, but as a deep, inward renewal—a tot

Dining with the King Slower, Holier Table Experience
Invited to Dine What if every meal became a meeting with God? Dining with the King began for me at an ordinary dinner table, wondering how to slow down instead of rushing past grace after a quick prayer. I realized mealtimes are perfect invitations to speak to and listen to the Lord—where breath and bread meet Presence, and where the soul is nourished alongside the body. When we slow our pace—chew, breathe, notice—we begin to taste the bounty of God’s kindness: provision,

Embracing Belonging: A Journey of Faith and Connection
There are seasons when the ache of not belonging can feel louder than anything else. When you walk into a room and wonder if anyone really sees you. When you talk, and no one seems to understand what you mean. When your heart whispers, You’re on the outside again. I know that feeling well. I’ve spent much of my life believing that lie — that I was the outsider. That other people were the ones who fit, who connected easily, who belonged. I spent years wandering through a deser
