I’ve started and deleted more blog posts than I can count over these last few months. Not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I was afraid that saying it would leave me exposed—vulnerable to judgment.

Faith, Not Flawlessness: The Power of Grace and Compassion
As followers of Christ, we often strive to reflect Him in our actions and words.

Embracing the Journey: Walking in God’s Purpose and Power
There’s a unique strength that comes when you realize none of your power comes from you. It’s not the kind of strength the world teaches—the kind that says you have to push through no matter what, stay tough, and never let the cracks show.
