So Will I

  • Just Dig the Ditch

    As 2025 draws to a close, I’ve found myself slowing down and reflecting on the year—on what it held, what it required, and what it revealed. You know, there are seasons of life when strategy fails, strength runs out, and certainty disappears. Seasons when what once felt confident suddenly feels fragile. That is exactly where…

    Just a Piece of Curvy Toilet Paper

    A couple of weeks ago, I shared a personal story with some of our church kids. Let me give you the quick details… I was at a friend’s house for Bible study when I got a phone call that my dad was being taken to the emergency room where he passed away. As I hugged…

  • Disappointment is Not the End

    “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God…” — Psalm 42:5 Disappointment has a voice. It whispers, “This isn’t how it was supposed to go.” Disappointment has a weight. It settles over your chest and makes even simple things feel heavy. Disappointment has a timing. It shows…

  • May All that We Are

    Psalm 19:1 – “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” When we look at creation, we see a natural response to the greatness of God. The heavens have never stopped declaring His glory. The skies don’t have to be told to shine; they simply reflect the glory…

  • Show Up

    You are the one who shows up. You bring the smile and offer the hug. You bring the encouragement. You bring the meal, send the text, cheer from the sidelines. You remember the birthdays and celebrate everyone’s wins. You notice the little things. You’re the safe place, the steady friend, the one people know they…

  • My Portion

    Life has a way of slowly unraveling at times; doesn’t it? Disappointment after disappointment, weariness layered over unmet expectations. There’s valleys we didn’t plan for, storms we never saw coming, and seasons we didn’t choose.  Our strength fails. Sleep doesn’t come. Smiles don’t mask the struggle. Emotions rise like floodwaters. Panic, grief, fear, anger, confusion—…

  • The Middle

    Ever been stuck in the middle? You ever been torn between where you were and where you’re going? Or maybe you felt like you left something behind but haven’t quite arrived anywhere new yet? Maybe you obeyed God and still ended up in a storm? Or, you knew what God promised… but not how He’ll…

  • Hold On

    You raised them in church. You prayed over their crib. You taught them to say ‘please,’ ‘thank you,’ and ‘Jesus loves me.’ You worked hard to teach them right from wrong and brought them to church. But something happened between then and now… your child is far from the innocent baby you cradled all those…

  • Blessed be the Rock

    Psalm 18 is David’s song of praise after God delivered him from his enemies, especially from King Saul. Saul has died and David is getting ready to be the king of Israel. In fact, ever since God declared that David would be king, he experienced nothing but trouble and hardship. He spent his days fighting,…

  • For the Good

    Romans 8:28: And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Life often takes unexpected turns. Some moments bring joy and blessing, while others bring pain and uncertainty. In difficult seasons, we may wonder, How can any…

  • There’s a lady…

    There are so many incredible women in the Bible who played significant roles in God’s plan through their faith, strength, and servanthood. Many of us could quickly name some of those: Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Deborah, Esther, Ruth, and Mary. There’s one lady, named Huldah, that I have been encouraged by from 2 Kings 22:14-20. Let…

  • The Sustainer of Our Souls

    Are you feeling a little overwhelmed? Maybe surrounded by challenges and weighed down by the voices telling you that things will never change? Or, maybe it’s the struggle of motherhood, the ache of a prodigal child, the loneliness in your marriage, or the relentless demands of daily life. I mean, let’s be honest here, there’s…

  • The Cost

    A broken woman desperate for someone greater than her perfume. Her past, her present, and her pain poured out in full surrender. The cost of her oil mattered little at the feet of Jesus. He knew her heart, her sacrifice, her brokenness. He restores; He sustains; He frees. What are you carrying today, friend? Bring…

  • Lean in

    Life may feel uncertain. Storms may rage around us. Fear may grip our hearts. Trials may test our faith. Worries may weigh us down. Doubts may cloud our minds. Pain may feel overwhelming. The future may seem unclear. Grief may leave us empty. Anxiety may pull at our peace. Loneliness may leave us isolated. Unmet…

  • When Grace is Enough

    As women, we often carry the weight of expectations—trying to be the perfect mom, friend, wife, or professional. It can be overwhelming when we fall short, whether in relationships, goals, or even our walk with Christ. The truth, however, is the pressure to be “enough” isn’t ours to bear; Jesus has already done it for…

  • Gratitude & Peace

    As we enter into November, we begin a full season of election signs and Thanksgiving. I guess it’s no coincidence that election season and Thanksgiving season are the same season. I mean, what other time do you have to sit around a table with people you didn’t exactly choose, smile through wildly different opinions and…

  • Math

    Matthew 14:13-21 tells the story of Jesus feeding multitudes of people. As evening approached, the disciples urged Jesus to send the people away to find food, but Jesus insisted they feed the crowd. With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread, and miraculously fed around 5,000 men, plus women and…

  • Warriors

    “They have taken God out of schools.” I have heard this statement more times than I have fingers and toes. While there is a “separation of church and state,” the idea that God is not in our schools could not be farther from the truth. Not only are their Godly men and women on the…

  • Faithfully on Watch

    This past week, I was reading a story about a little boy born in the middle of a time when Pharaoh was ruling the nation. Pharaoh had ordered for all Hebrew boys to be killed. Moses’ mother, Levi, hid her baby for as long as she could. When the time had come where she could…
