Trust in the Lord is the essence of a Proverbs 31 woman. When our trust in the Lord is disrupted, everything else around us crumbles. We crumble, because God is the source of wisdom. He is the source of self-trust. In this installment of Project 31, we will reflect on three key topics: the trustworthiness of God, rebuilding our trust in the Lord, and learning to trust ourselves by learning to trust the God within us.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Single and Surrendered. You finally understand the beauty of God's design for mankind and marriage. You've established holy boundaries for dating and intimacy. You trust Him with the thing that was once the hardest to surrender. And yet...you're still hurting. You still feel the ache of your missing rib or missing mate. You fear missing out on love and intimacy if you don't settle. Being single and surrendered hurts. The price of hope is hurt. But without hope, there is only

Your hope is proof of the thing not yet seen. Your hope is proof of the harvest to come. Your hope is the seed of the harvest to come. Your hope comes from God. He's not asking you to give it up. Let your hope be proof of God's goodness, proof of His love for you. Let your persistent hope be a reminder that God is working behind the scenes, aligning things that will one day present a harvest He ordained for you before you were even born.

This past week has been hard. As much as I've engrossed myself in God's Word, embedded His truths in me, and rebuked the lies the devil has poured into me, I could only hold my ground for so long before the hopelessness tried to take root again. But what happened this week is so much bigger than the past seven days, so I'm going to back up to the beginning.
