Encouragement for women in ministry, pastor’s wives, and servant-hearted leaders balancing faith, family, and calling.
The to-do list is long. The schedule is packed. The emotions are heavy. And in the middle of it all, the Lord is whispering a simple but powerful phrase: Be still. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself asking: How am I supposed to keep up with it all? October came in fast this year,…
Let me start with a little honesty—this post is for the weary. If you’ve been feeling the heat of the spiritual battle lately—if discouragement has come knocking or the weight feels heavier than usual—you’re not alone. I’m right there with you.

Every season has its own rhythm. Sometimes it’s a steady, beautiful beat that feels effortless—and other times, it’s more like clumsy drum practice in the church when the worship team is still figuring out the song. We all have those seasons where the rhythm is off. Maybe it’s a new school year, a change in…

Here we are, stepping into summer with school winding down and everything feeling a little…unfinished. Laundry piles, projects paused, dreams delayed—it’s all still here. But maybe that’s not a failure—it’s an invitation to flourish in life’s unfinished moments. Maybe it’s not about rushing to complete everything, but learning to embrace peace in the middle of life’s…
Have you ever looked at your calendar, your to-do list, your laundry pile—and just wanted to crawl under the covers with a chocolate bar and your Bible? If so, you’re not alone. Honestly, this is often the very moment we’re invited to flourish when life feels chaotic—not by fixing everything, but by learning to grow right…
You ever feel like life just keeps picking up speed—like the world hit fast-forward and forgot to tell you? What if slowing down isn’t just about catching your breath—but about honoring God with the pace of your life?
