My soul had been weary for many months last year, and it took a while to come back to life. I didn’t force it to be productive. I didn’t push it until it bent to my will. I simply sat in the winter of my soul. I didn’t try to melt the ice, till the…

Faith in the Lion’s Den
Do you ever read the Bible and feel disconnected from it? There are so many wild stories within those pages, and they happened so long ago that it can be hard to believe they’re true. Oceans splitting apart, fire coming down from heaven, people wrestling with angels or walking on water; it sounds like something…
Inquire Again
One thing I want to learn this year is how to slow down. I want to learn to keep doing the things that make me happy. I want to learn to keep living without feeling like I have to start from scratch every 365 days. Our world has become so laser-focused on hustling to be…
22 Lessons from 2022
This past year was filled with joy, laughter, and delightful newness. It was also one of deep darkness and sadness. I’ve found that when you look back on the year that’s just ended and see all of the things you’ve lived through, you’ll see a beautiful tapestry.

Let’s Feast
At the start of every new year, we are flooded with social media posts about the best goals and resolutions to set, and how we can maintain them once the first ten days are over. I, for one, have never been a fan of new year’s resolutions because they always seem to be centred around…

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why God created you the way that He did? Or maybe you see someone on the street and wonder why you can’t have the same things as them. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison that the enemy sets up for us. When…
Vines and Branches
I’m what you would call a wannabe-green thumb. I love plants, I have several throughout my house, and I’ll always adopt a couple more when I see them in stores. The only thing is that I struggle to keep them alive. When you come over, you’ll see plants happily growing in cute pots, but what…
Treasured Truth
When I was little, my dad helped my brother and I memorize Psalm 23. I remember piling onto my parent’s bed in the evening so that we could sit and work through the verses one at a time. I couldn’t tell you why my dad chose that particular Psalm, but I can tell you that…
When Our Plans Don’t Prosper
Do you ever feel like you're wandering through a forest without a compass? There's a new path everywhere you turn, but you have no idea which one to take or how to get back home. The enormity of the forest swallowing you whole until you feel utterly lost and alone. That's what I feel like…
