Finding My Voice
Finding my voice was not a simple journey—it meant facing the relentless, shaming thoughts that echoed in my mind and choosing not to let them define me. I spent a year working with a skilled counselor, slowly learning to unravel the tangled messages of shame and self-doubt. My path also led me to a Healing…
Mentoring Voices
Throughout our lives, we encounter many voices that compete for our attention and shape our sense of self. Some of these voices linger long after they are spoken, their words embedding themselves so deeply within us that we find ourselves replaying them over and over, often unconsciously. The weight of their messages can become destructive,…
A Willing Spirit Within
Sometimes, the greatest barrier to change isn’t our circumstances—it’s the quiet resistance within us, the unwilling spirit that drags its feet when our hearts know what needs to be done. Whether it’s tackling a dreaded chore, stepping out in faith, or pursuing healing, we all face moments when motivation falters and our spirit simply refuses…
Resident or Visitor of Shameville
Sunlight filtered through my window as I whispered the words of Psalm 51 into the quiet morning, my fingers tracing the underlined verses, each translation marked with the ache of longing.

Enough to open your hands completely in every single situation? I became a Christian at the age of eleven. I had no idea…
The Mighty Mouth
There are times I cringe at the words that come out of my mouth. You too? Why is it when we try so hard, we end up cringing? Psalm 34:1-3 I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let…
Mirror Mirror
Who do you mirror in your daily life? Let’s face it, we mirror what we were taught in our families growing up. We may try not to be the whoever wounded us, but there are moments that they jump out of our bodies onto another person. My mother was a master manipulator. Cold shoulder and…
Prodigal Son (again)
Prodigal son teaching returns to me again. Our community group studied it for a while, then our pastor preached on it, my Monday night Bible study has a section on it right now, then at Faithwalk the first night had a devotional on it. Last night my husband and I were watching something about fame…
