In this first installment of Project 31, we will combat the lies of the enemy and reclaim what it means to be a woman of God by remembering our innate, God-given identity and worth. This devotional study is for women of any age in any season. Proverbs 31 is not a badge earned by a marriage certificate. It is a portrait of what a woman looks like when she is living from her God-given identity and essence, which is love.

I am so excited to announce this new project. After deciding to take a hiatus from writing fiction, there were two specific projects that I feel God placed on my heart. The first, Wilderness: The Place Between Bondage and Promise, I've been working on quietly behind-the-scenes. This is a full-length Christian non-fiction book I want to keep close to my heart until it is finished. The second, is Project 31: A Year of Becoming A Proverbs 31 Woman . This project originated as a

March 9th, 2025: The sentiment that keeps echoing through my mind is, "It's already done. You're just walking into it." I wrote in my journal that God had already made a place for me and a way for me. There was nothing for me to fear. All I had to do was answer the calling, and respond to the nudge in my soul. My thirtieth year has been a year of doing just that: answering the call, choosing good things over fear, and becoming my Father's daughter.

When your heart is not filled with the Holy Spirit, it does not matter how holy you look on the outside (the house that is swept and put in order), you are empty, and emptiness will be filled by something. This week, we're taking a closer look at the gospel of Luke and the importance of the inner transformation.

Life can get so busy sometimes that we forget to read our Bible, we forget to pray, we forget to seek God. But seeking God must be a daily choice in order to live each day surrendered to Him and His will. This week, I challenge you to make time with God a priority. The longer you walk in the habit of seeking the Lord, the less reminding you'll need. Never get so distracted--even with good things--that you forget to sit at the feet of Jesus.

Jesus' earthly ministry was not just to teach us about the kingdom of Heaven, but to equip us to lead others to the kingdom after His return to Heaven. There is a point before Jesus' crucifixion that He sends out His twelve disciples and another unnamed seventy after them to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick. They went before Jesus to prepare the hearts and minds of the people to receive the truth Jesus was coming to share. We are called to prepare the way for Chris

We know why we follow Jesus, but what does taking up our cross look like? What does it mean to deny ourselves while also loving ourselves? Check out a list of ways you might pick up your cross and discover what this act of faith is not. Jesus carried the cross out of love and obedience not self-hatred. Following Jesus is the greatest act of self-love. While taking up our cross is always an act of surrender, surrender isn't always sacrifice or painful. It does always lead to g

There is not one appearance of righteousness. Those intent on rejecting God and His wisdom will not be pleased by any package He presents in. John the Baptist and Jesus' ministries looked different outwardly, but inwardly, served the same God and purpose. Our differences are purposeful and used by God to reach different people in different ways. When you serve the same God, diversity is not the opposite of unity. It is the expansion of it.

Jesus touches the untouchable. Despite the example of love and inclusion that Christ gives us, some Christian communities still treat certain groups of people as unclean. But the church is not only for the saved or clean. The church is for everyone to come to the Healer who heals all ailments. Those whose sins are many have love for Christ a plenty. When we see His capacity to love and forgive us, our capacity to love and forgive others grows.

Satan has a playbook. He attacks when we're isolated and hungry. He uses our hunger--regardless of if we hunger for food or something intangible--to get us to fill ourselves with false nourishment. He seeks to make us question our identity as children of God, because if we question our identity, then we also question whose authority we're under. If we question our identity and the authority of God, we question the validity of the word of God, which is our greatest weapon in s

God's plan for human relationships is first modeled in how our relationship with Him is formed. Love awakens a responsive submission. God never called His daughters to submit to lost or abusive men. He calls us to submit to a husband who is already submitted to Him. When a man pursues us like Christ pursues the church, leads and loves us like Christ--to the best of his human ability--that is a husband worth submitting to.

"According to His good pleasure," the Lord reveals Himself to us, reveals His truth, gives us grace we could never earn, gives us newness of life, a Spirit of power and authority, and most of all, His presence. Ephesians may not seem like a love letter at first. But the more I read, the more loved by God I felt. Dive deep into scripture and discover why.

Dive into the fruit of the Spirit and the works of the flesh, reflecting on specific areas you may need healing. Learn how to access the Holy Spirit inside you, so you may live a life of good fruit and godly virtue.

The enemy has many tactics with one goal--to separate us from God. Our wounds, traumas, perspectives, and desires can all be exploited to do just that. "Good girl" syndrome may leave you feeling like you're never good enough. The enemy wants us focused on trying to be good enough so we don't realize Christ already said we are. We are good enough to love, good enough to die for, good enough to be His, good enough to speak His truth. Grace is ours even when we struggle to accep

Is waiting on the Lord passive: a life on autopilot until He shakes your shoulders and says this is the way or this is the one? For so long, I've felt that waiting on the Lord, trusting the Lord, surrendering my life to Him means not moving until He says go. But that is not the case. Submission is a heart posture: a willingness to walk slowly, receive re-direction, hold your plans with open palms, remain flexible and unattached to specific outcomes. Submission is not stillnes

Throughout the Israelites journey, the character of God is revealed and the impatience, disobedience, and fearfulness of man that makes us crave slavery to sin rather than trusting in the Lord's provision. We see ourselves in the Israelites, and while we may think they're being annoying or ungrateful, when you're faced with your own wilderness season--a season when trusting the Lord is difficult--you will understand the Israelites' struggle and the Lord's love for us even mor

God is the missing piece to every puzzle. God is a father to the fatherless. No matter what your family dynamics are, God is ready, willing, and able to step into the roles that no one else is filling. He is ready to give a love like no other. He is ready to be reliable. He is ready to show up and support you through your most inconvenient emotions and experiences. He is ready to be your father and your mother. He is ready to fill the gaps in your life and be the family you'v

This new year, I'm unsubscribing to striving, planning, ambition, and goal-setting. And I am subscribing to surrender. Surrendering to the Lord doesn't mean you don't have any plans or goals. It means the Lord is the one guiding you. He is the one telling you which opportunity to say yes to. He creates new goals for you. He opens new doors for you. He gives you new ideas and desires. He will help you discern the right thing, the right one, and the right time. This year, slow

Today's post is inspired by a reading from Daniel 3:16-25, otherwise known as the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. These three men believed and declared that the Lord would deliver them from the fiery furnace and He did. Their story teaches us to have unrelenting faith and declare the Lord's deliverance over our circumstances. But sometimes deliverance doesn't look the way we want it to and that's when our faith is tested.

Sex, intimacy, and purity--these are all sensitive topics that aren't easy to talk about. But it's in the areas we keep private that the devil can easily slip in. I'm sharing my story so that hopefully you won't have to. Let there be light in dark places, words of truth and wisdom where there was once silence.
