I love creating images that point us to Jesus. In a world that so often distracts and creates division, my goal is to be a person who reminds you of our hope in Jesus. That in a world gone mad, He is our source and where we find our identities. So this week, I wanted to share a few more …
Some days I need more reminders of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Some weeks are just hard. We’ve certainly been put through the ringer as a country. So today I wanted to give you some of my favorite verses in a form you can put in front of you in case you need the reminders, too. Need hope? Some reminders of the …
As I write this I am exhausted from watching election night returns into the wee hours of the morning Tuesday/Wednesday. My jaw was on the ground most of the night as the election returns rolled in from across the country. Our hope isn’t restrained by who won or lost the election. @Cara_Putman encourages #hope.

October 15th is miscarriage loss day. It always brings pain to the surface, a pain that isn’t too far removed from my days. I’ve had two miscarriages, two precious children I don’t know this side of heaven. Last year God gave me another slice of peace about the process, so today I wanted to share this so that it can …
Today I want to encourage each of you to share your stories. Your story is your testimony and it is powerful. It can point people to Jesus in a life-giving, world-altering way. Have you ever considered that? Have you allowed God to heal the places of brokenness, the places where life has shattered you? You have a testimony. Wonder if you have …
I want to suck the very marrow from this life I’ve been placed here to live. I want to know I’ve walked in the destiny of a story that God alone could write. And if that leaves me shaking in my boots, it means I may have actually found my story.
I want to live beyond a logic-driven, left-brain existence, and dive into the land of what-ifs where God resides.
As a writer I have this quirk…it might be one you have, too. My mind constantly spins with what-ifs. If my husband is late, I wonder what-ifs…and they’re rarely positive. I wonder what-if so and so wins the election. What-if such and such happens when we travel? Did you know I seriously clean the house before we leave so …
That’s where I lived. But I wrestled it to the ground with God. I had to know that when I was curled up in the closet with so much pain that I didn’t know what to do, that God was there. I had to believe that He would somehow use the pain for His good. He has.
If you’re in the midst of your own pain right now (so many of my friends and loved ones are walking such hard journeys right now), know that God is there. He never leaves. He never forsakes us. Jesus endured that, so we wouldn’t have to.
So if you can’t feel Him, look up. Look out. You will find Him. And He can put your broken heart back together again.
Do you ever get that sense that God is moving? That He is doing something that we might only have a foreshadowing of? Expectation: what is yours as it relates to God? #jesusiseverything Click To Tweet On Saturday, my husband, older two kids, and I got to participate in the Outcry Tour. A tour of worship bands leading more than …
Once upon a time there was a girl who desperately wanted to believe she was special. Unique. Loved. She had a family that loved her, but her heart cried for something deeper. As she grew she wondered if anyone could love the parts of her that were covered with warts. The parts that revealed how far she had to grow.
