  • A New Chapter: Finding Safety, Community, and Peace in My Temporary Home

    Life has a way of leading us exactly where we need to be, even when the path feels uncertain. Recently, I made the decision to move into a nice, inexpensive motel while I continue searching for a new apartment. At first, it felt like a major transition — a mix of emotions, worries, and hopes…

  • You Are Stronger Than the Pain That Tries to Break You

    There are days when the pain feels louder than your hope. Days when the weight of what you’re dealing with—emotionally, mentally, or physically—tries to take more from you than you’re willing to give. And on those days, strength doesn’t always look like big victories or bold confidence. Sometimes strength is simply choosing to keep going…

  • Marriage Matters: Letting Go of Expectations

    Expectations can be silent enemies in a marriage.

When those expectations aren’t met, disappointment grows. If not addressed, disappointment becomes resentment. But marriage…

    Scripture “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” — 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (NIV) Devotional Message Marriage is built on more than emotion — it is strengthened by daily choices.

  • Marriage Matters: Love Your Partner

    “Choosing Love Daily” Scripture: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8 Love is more than a feeling—it’s a choice we make every single day.

  • Writing Through the Darkness: The Power of a Depression Journal

    Depression has a way of stealing language. It can leave you staring at the ceiling, unsure of how to describe the weight pressing down on your chest.
