I wanted to share something the Lord’s been stirring in my heart.

I’ve decided to take a step back from posting regularly on social media—at least for now.

Lately, I’ve felt a need to refocus. Not just on what I’m doing—but on who I’m becoming. I want to be fully present for the in-person ministries and relationships God has placed right in front of me. And I want to deepen my walk with Him without the pressure of creating content or staying visible online.

I’m not leaving forever. I may pop in from time to time if the Lord leads. But for now, I’m releasing the pressure to show up consistently in this space.

I want to hear from God more than I want to be heard by others.

Thank you for following, supporting, and praying with me. This pause is not a goodbye—it’s just a pause. My heart is still for helping women know God and study His Word for themselves. That will never change.

But for now, I’m being obedient to the quiet.

In the meantime, if you need support in your marriage, guidance in learning how to study the Bible, or prayer for anything, please message me!

Can YOU spot the difference?

The world believes submission means being a doormat, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

How can you discern whether your approach pleases God, or man?

As believers, when we deeply study what God's word says about marriage and living a Christian life, we can recognize the lies of the world and the false teachings that detract from God's beautiful design for marriage.

The ONLY way to recognize the world’s lies is to KNOW God’s truth.

The only way to know God’s truth is to STUDY the Bible - not just reading a single verse or a devotional written by someone else.

Before I learned to study scripture, I lived a subservient life. I now recognize the dangers involved.

Submission is beautiful, when it is offered according to God's description in Scripture.

Sweet wife, have you studied God’s Word deeply enough so that you can recognize the lies of the world? Are you able to discern how to rightly and biblically respond to your husband?

If this is a struggle for you, I would love for you to check out the Wives of the Word study, where you will learn multiple Bible study methods so you can find the one that works for YOU, while practicing with four different passages about God’s design for marriage and His instructions for you as a wife.

Comment WOW for more information, and be sure to tag a friend who could use this reference chart and would love to join you in learning to study God’s Word together.

✨✨✨NEW EBOOK FOR WIVES✨✨✨

A few friends have asked if I’d ever do another online Bible study, so I’m excited to finally say yes!

Years ago, I led an online study that ended up being one of the most impactful experiences of my own spiritual growth. Since then, by God’s grace, I’ve learned so much more about studying Scripture, and I’d love to help other women grow in that same confidence.

This summer, we’re gathering for A Summer of Sisterhood & Scripture—a simple, beginner-friendly study designed to help women learn to study God’s Word for themselves while building sweet friendships along the way.

Space will be limited to keep discussion meaningful, so if you’re interested, check out the graphic and sign-up form for all the details:

This thought hit me right in the gut.

I'm super curious what kinds of thoughts will be brought up with this.

I pray that my appearance reflects my priority to be God's honor and glorification, my respect and awe for the vessel He's given me while on earth.

I pray that my appearance does not reflect vanity, or gluttony, or apathy towards God.

What are your thoughts?

Mama, I know you’re tired. Your days are full and your heart is stretched in a million directions… but sometimes we have to stop and ask what our priorities are really saying.

You do have a choice.

You can let that exhaustion become the reason you run to the Lord each day—opening His Word, whispering a prayer, and letting Him refill what’s been poured out. He is your strength, your wisdom, and your refreshment.

Or…

You can let the enemy convince you that you’re “too tired,” and use that as the excuse that keeps you from the only Source who can actually sustain you.

Here’s truth (I'm saying this with so much love for you): God will never call you to a life so full that there’s no room for Him.

He's more important than sleep - I promise! I'm not saying you should neglect sleep entirely, but waking up just 20-30 minutes earlier to prioritize the Lord will transform your whole life.

If time in the Word keeps slipping off your schedule, it might be a sign that something needs to shift… or that you’re carrying things He never asked you to carry.

This isn’t condemnation — it’s invitation.
Come to Him. Even a few minutes make a difference. 🤍

If this encouraged you, save it for the days you feel stretched thin — and share it with another mama who might need the reminder today.
