What is the first attribute you think of when I say, "God"?  Well, for most it is NOT the word "FUN" but guess what? If we love to laugh, play and have fun, ANNNNDDD we are made in Our Daddy's image, why wouldn't He be fun, too!?!?  That is the focus of my 31-Day Devotional: Holy & Hilarious!  You see, back in August, I was not in a good place. Truly, it was a dark...

A group of high-achievers was asked,  “What is your dream?" & "What's holding you back from going after it?” The dreams varied—but the blocks were predictable: time, money, resources.

2025 didn’t break me — it built me . Rejection from 100+ jobs. A relationship that crashed and burned. A cross-country move to start over. Painful? Yes. Pointless? Not even close. This was the year God stripped away what wasn’t meant for my next chapter — what didn’t belong in my destiny. Refinement looks a lot like loss… until you realize it was actually preparation . And 2026? It won’t even reco...

This summer, I hit a breaking point. Seriously, my friends wanted to admit me for professional help. After my most recent breakup, I was on the verge of a breakdown. Not because a man had that much power over me —but because of what his leaving exposed  within me. The breakup wasn’t the cause of my pain; it was the  catalyst  that cracked open the deep places of my heart —places where old wounds a...

How do you manage life's disappointments? Hopefully better than I did. In one of my darkest seasons, I resorted to blaming God for my mistakes. I wandered off course and like the prodigal child, I squandered what was my inheritance. Then one day I heard a voice inside me said, "Go home." It was a command to go home to Abba Daddy.  I knew that life wasn’t supposed to be this way.  I f...
