Walking in God's Strength

It was a Friday morning that I was scrolling the depths of my Instagram Explore feed, when I came across a quote that read: “Sometimes you have to be your OWN hero.” At first, this simple statement came across as inspiring and empowering. After reading it, I was even motivated to believe that out of my own strengths, and my own will-power, I could achieve just about anything I wanted. Yet, my spirit was un-phased, and a bit astonished. I was burning inside with a reminder that this statement was only a half-truth. A half-truth that left out the matters of “How” and “Who” that will truly bring empowerment and inspiration.

How To Handle Life's Unsteady Moments

I wish I would’ve heard the words ‘embrace the shake’ much sooner in this season of complete confusion. I’m still learning what this phrase means, and I am by no means an expert at embracing life’s unsteady moments. But the beauty in learning is that the outcomes are endless. We probably won’t be able to see or know what the outcome of our seasons and situations look like, but that’s what trusting in the Lord and walking by faith is all about.

Having Faith in the Unknown

I get it, sometimes it’s hard to have faith in moments or seasons where you feel surrounded by the unknown. It’s those moments you feel so lost or confused that fear begins to accumulate and doubt fills your mind. But those moments matter greatly. Living in the “I don’t know” has the power to suspend your faith or stretch your faith.

4 Steps to Better Self-Care

Weary and burnt out in January, this realization caused me to dive in to “self-care”. Y’all, I hate this term because it sounds so selfish. But what I’ve found to be true is I can’t pour out what hasn’t been poured into me. It just doesn’t compute. So, at thirty six, I am learning to take care of myself. These little nuggets do not at all come naturally to me - they are actually things I really have to work at. But when I do, it silences my inner grouch and that, my friend is worth it.
