Imagining this beautiful little girl asking the question, “Am I enough?” seems kind of silly. Would it ever occur to you that she was not? Yet, how many times have we silently wondered that about ourselves? It’s not a question that we often voice out loud, but it’s one that lingers in the recesses of our minds. It shows up in our insecurities, in our hesitations, and in the myriad ways we interact with… Read More

Where Were You When I Needed You?
We’ve all been there—lost in a season of struggle, disappointment or heartbreak, whispering some version of the same painful question: “God, where were You when I needed You?” For many strong women of faith, this question is not just a passing thought but a deep-seated struggle that reverberates through their most trying times. The Lord is my rock, yet when life feels overwhelming — especially for extended periods of time — I can slip… Read More
Finding Peace Through Acceptance
Acceptance is a powerful, transformative practice that can lead us to a life of peace, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. I define acceptance as: acknowledging what is without judgment. This does not mean agreeing with or even liking what is happening, but rather fully recognizing and embracing reality without judging it. We can probably all agree that acceptance is simple by definition but challenging in practice. For those of us who have had significant life… Read More
The Beauty of Sisterhood
In a world that often values individual achievement and self-reliance, the beauty of sisterhood stands out as a testament to the power of connection and mutual support. As women, we are often taught to be strong, independent, and self-sufficient, but there is such strength and beauty in embracing our vulnerabilities, supporting one another, and forming deep, authentic connections. Women have a unique bond with one another that we don’t share with men, and I… Read More
Why Is It So Hard to Change?
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is credited with saying, “The only constant in life is change.” I would like to think otherwise, but life experience has shown me the truth of his words. We are all subject to this reality, yet many of us struggle with it. We often appreciate the results of change, but few of us enjoy the process of change. I work with a lot of ambitious, growth-oriented Christian women who actively… Read More
The Power of Prayer Partnership
As we pursue our own goals and dreams, the journey can often feel lonely and overwhelming. If I’m doing God’s work, shouldn’t it always be easy and fun? Of course, that’s what I want, but I realize that is naïve. Sometimes it is easy and fun, and often it is very challenging. Why? Because God is always growing me into the women who can steward the dreams He has placed in my heart. That means… Read More

What Does it Mean to Co-Create With God?
I love the elegance of the Tango, the precision of the movements, the way the lead seems to effortlessly guide the follow into stunningly complex, striking moves that absolutely captivate the audience. She rarely diverts her eyes from his, as if she instinctively knows that her every move depends on that connection. It allows her to flourish, to joyfully express her creativity and talent in ways she could never achieve on her own. He is… Read More
Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectionist, who, me? It’s not one of those flags I like to fly, but there it is. I hadn’t thought about writing my first blog post on perfectionism, but God had a different idea. He’s been bringing perfectionism to my attention in a big way over the past several weeks. During a recent morning prayer time, when the subject of perfectionism came up…again… I heard the Lord say, “I’ve just about written your first blog… Read More
