Let God Cook: Trusting His Timing When Your Life Feels Stuck
I used to think that the gifts God gave me meant I could control everything-but I was so wrong!
Over the past 5 years, I’ve learned to let God take the lead, especially during big life transitions (like becoming a mom of 3!). I prayed for bold, dangerous things, but often felt like God wasn’t moving at all.
Here’s what I’ve discovered: God’s stillness doesn’t mean He’s not working. Trusting His timing is hard, but right now in 2024, I’m living in the prayers I prayed back in 2018!
If you’ve ever felt frustrated waiting on God’s plan, let’s learn to trust together. 🙌

Choosing God when everything is a mess...
Переглядів 172 місяці тому
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like even though I’m doing everything right life still feels like a mess! In this video, I share how I’m still learning to shift from worry to peace and deciding to choose God first in every moment to keep on building my "holy habits" so that I can to stay spiritually grounded when chaos takes over. Here’s the best part, I think that you and I can do...
Is Daily Bible Reading Legalistic? Here’s What You Need to Know
Переглядів 322 місяці тому
“Telling people to read the Bible every day is legalistic.” I was shocked when I heard this and couldn’t believe this was how someone really viewed God’s word. In this video, I dive deep into what legalism really means and why daily Bible reading is far from it. 🚫📖 Growing up in a legalistic church culture, I understand the confusion around rules and faith. But here’s the truth: spiritual disci...
I didn't know what I was praying for... now everything is different
Переглядів 152 місяці тому
In this video, I share the most terrifying prayer I’ve ever prayed. What I like to call a “dangerous prayer”. I dive into what makes a prayer dangerous and how it can lead to spiritual growing pains, while bringing us closer to God. I also reflect on how my prayers have shifted over the years, moving from self-centered requests to a deeper, more intimate connection with God. If you’re curious a...

I learned to brag about this (How to Rely on God)
Переглядів 256 місяців тому
I don’t know about you, but I’m not one to draw attention to my weaknesses. I am DEFINITELY not the one who wants to openly and freely talk about it with anyone either. Little did I know, that bragging on my weakness, would be how learned to rely on God. The Bible talks about boasting in our weakness so that God’s strength gives us power and that is something that I have come to see more clearl...
