Still processing everything God did this week.

Serving over 70 incredible 10th grade girls at students camp was such a privilege, but God was working in my heart just as much as He was in theirs.

God is still speaking—we just have to be listening. His voice is always louder than the lies that say we’re not enough, too broken, or too far gone. Shame was conquered at the cross, Jesus calls us by name, and we aren’t fighting for victory but from it. The enemy’s lies lose their power when they’re replaced with God’s truth, and Christ in us is more than enough.

My prayer is that we would keep asking, seeking, knocking, staying in His Word, surrounding ourselves with people who point us to Jesus, and boldly letting God unlock our voices for His glory. So thankful for every leader, every conversation, every worship moment, and every White Hot girl. Jesus is worthy of it all. 🤍🔥

This past week at Kids Camp was one of the sweetest reminders of who God is.

Getting to spend a week pointing these kids back to Jesus and speaking His truth over them was such a gift. To remind them that they were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), known before they were formed (Jeremiah 1:5), and created with purpose for the good works He prepared long ago (Ephesians 2:10). That they are called by name and belong to Him (Isaiah 43:1).

I pray they always know Yahweh as the God who keeps His promises, Jehovah Jireh as their Provider, Jehovah Rapha as their Healer, Jehovah Shalom as their Peace, Jehovah Nissi as the One who goes before them in every battle, Emmanuel as God with them, El Roi as the God who sees them, and El Olam as the Everlasting God whose faithfulness never ends.

I left camp with a heart so full—not because I had all the right words or did anything extraordinary, but because the Lord let me be a small part of what He was already doing. He didn’t need me, but He still invited me into His story, and I’ll never stop being grateful for that. I hope these kids keep chasing Jesus long after camp is over, keep hiding His Word in their hearts, and keep believing every promise He’s spoken over them. And I hope I never lose the childlike faith they reminded me of this week—the kind that doesn’t overcomplicate who God is, but simply trusts Him because He is good.

To Abba, Father be all the glory. 🤍

This week I had the ABSOLUTE HONOR of showing kids what it looks like to live for Jesus!!!
The enemy tried too many ways to try and allow distractions into this week. But it was evident that no matter the schemes of the devil that JESUS’ name is higher than any scheme that the enemy has.
I witnessed a boy in worship on His knees crying out HOLY to our God. It made me weep as I begin to think about the child like faith Jesus calls us to have!
I think of the moment I was singing the words JESUS BE THE NAME and I felt a tiny hand grab onto mine in the middle of worship and just taking it in by what it means to authentically worship Jesus Christ.
The moments where girls were asking questions about ELOHIM, YHWH, and JEHOVAH RAPHA. In pure desperation for their ABBA to come and intercede on their behalf and show up for them.
The is NO SUCH THING as a junior Holy Spirit. These kids have hardships just like anybody else might have and the same Jesus that’s shows up in my life made it so evident that He is not afraid to come fills the voids of these precious kids hearts.
I thank you Jesus for the kind of God you are and the One who never stops redeeming.
