  • A Relationship with God is a Fortress

    God is our refuge and our strength when all else fails (Psalm 46:1). God centers us when life is falling apart. God said He would never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6). Being rooted and grounded by a relationship with God is important. All things are possible with God (Matthew 19:26). God created us…

  • Unshakeable Faith

    It’s been one year since my life changed for the worst. It took unshakeable faith to get me where I am today. I moved in with family and suffered abuse for 2 months. It’s my truth and it still affects my life today. I relapsed and ended up in the psychiatric unit for a month…

  • The Art of Waiting

    Waiting on God is something that comes with life. Despite how much we plan and what our desires are, God’s timing outweighs it all. As we wait on God it builds patience in us spiritually and allows us to have the assurance that God has answered our prayers. (Psalm 130:5)”I wait on the Lord, my…

  • Surviving Trauma

    So many of us have been exposed to years of abuse and trauma. Many of us have battled for years trying to overcome it. I know this battle very well. I know that family and abusive relationships can be the worst. They never admit they have hurt us. The years of “I’m sorry” yet their…

  • You will Prevail

    No pain is too great for God. There are seasons where we feel He has left us or forgotten about us. God is always present. Jesus’s suffering was not in vain and neither is ours. Our lives are not our own. On the other side of overcoming, is the opportunity to be a light to…

  • Mental Health Awareness

    After a life of battling mental health struggles I know a lot about the importance of mental wellness. God’s word illustrates “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).” The sound mind God has given is one that we have…
