In His presence, I am restored.

Whatever you’re carrying today,
may you feel God’s arms around you,
holding you close and healing you gently. In His love, we are soothed. In His presence, we are restored.

      Gods love…a healing balm.

      God’s love for a broken heart is deep, tender, and unwavering. Scripture tells us that He is especially close to those who are hurting:

      “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

      When our hearts are shattered by loss, disappointment, or pain, God’s love becomes a healing balm. He does not turn away from our sorrow but draws near, offering comfort, peace, and restoration.

      In Isaiah 61:1, we see Jesus’ mission:

      “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”

      This means that no matter how deep our wounds are, His love can restore us. He does not waste our pain but uses it to draw us closer to Him, teaching us to trust in His goodness even in the midst of sorrow.

      If your heart is broken, know that you are never alone. God sees you, loves you, and is working to heal and restore you in ways beyond what you can imagine.

      What would YOU say to your younger self?

      What I would say to my younger self…

      You have the gift to

      powerfully shine light

      on darkness,

      to set captives free

      by the stroke of your

      own pen.

      No matter the circumstances of your past or what you may be currently facing, God says that he is able to use your gifts, your voice, your words, your life….to encourage others and give them hope.

      I want to encourage YOU to show up in whatever space you are in and be your true authentic self, allowing your presence to make a difference in this world!

      Her own crown of beauty…

      I wanted to share with you my poem titled “her own crown of beauty”. My prayer is that you no longer hide or shrink, but are comfortable in your own skin, accepting your own crown of beauty.💗

      Pulmonary Embolism…the Beach & Gratitude.

      Enjoying Dillon Beach in Northern California

      In 2020 I survived a Pulmonary Embolism, it was such a stressful, painful and scary time.

      Since then, I’ve learned to really listen to my body and prioritize my mental, physical and spiritual health.

      Visiting the beach with my family is one of my favorite things to do.

      Walking on the sand, the smell of salt water, the breeze and watching the waves completely relaxes me and brings me joy.

      I am truly grateful for the gift of life.

      Time to soar…

      So many wasted moments, overthinking, replaying the “what if’s” over and over again. Constantly talking myself out of doing something for fear of failing or waiting for the “perfect” moment to step out of my comfort zone.

      I know many of you can relate to finding themselves waiting for just the “right” time as you hope for just one more sign from God that this is what I am supposed to do next.

      If I can be blunt with you….Girl please STOP the madness!! (that statement is gender neutral) we have to put an end to allowing our own limitations to stunt our growth.

      We (ME 🙋🏽‍♀️) are more than capable of accomplishing anything and everything we set out to do, it doesn’t have to be prefect or even “pretty” our greatest work aka call is done authentically messy, real, honest, laced with plenty of vulnerability and above all else…Gods grace.

      It’s time to silence the lies which keep us bound, stand on faith and soar.

      And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
