So, there are a LOT of new faces around here lately. And I thought it might be fun to play my fave game of facts and find out more about you guys!
.
I'm giving you guys three little facts about me that you might not know and then I want to hear from you -- let's see if we have any quirks in common.
.
1. My favorite book of the OT is Hosea and my fave book of the NT is a three-way tie between Ephesians, 1 John, & Hebrews.
.
2. I am a podcast junkie! So, drop your recommendations below because I can blow through an entire que of episodes in no time.
.
3. I don't like chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, or chocolate frosted donuts. But, I LOVE chocolate as-is. Gimme all the Hershey bars, Dove chocolates, and Cadbury candy eggs!
.
Your turn!

I have an endless list of all the things that disqualify me from showing up in this space every day and sharing my faith-walk with you. .
- I am unbelievably selfish.
.
- I get impatient and yell at my husband.
.
- I go days without picking up my bible.
.
- I rarely go to the Lord in prayer as my first reaction to a situation.
.
- I say "umm" way too much when I'm speaking.
.
- I spend more time scrolling through this app than I do sending thoughtful messages to friends.
.
- I am WAY too controlling, judgmental, lazy, defensive, self-centered, and inconsiderate. .
- I leave last year's planner in the floor next to the console table covered in dust along with an old church program & a journal and they will all still be there tonight when I go to bed. .
I could go on forever about all the things that disqualify me from this position. BUT, there is one thing that makes all of those disqualifications shrink away each morning: GRACE.
.
For everything I lack, He has grace sufficient for me. Because of the grace I find through Christ I can stand before you, 100% unqualified to do anything on my own, and point to the One that overshadows all of my flaws with His holiness, goodness, mercy, and GRACE.
.
What are you shying away from because you have forgotten this grace? Don't let disqualifications hold you back from what He has called you to.

Happy Monday, friends! It's the start of a new week and I woke up to sunshine, birds chirping, and fresh blooms outside of our home -- the ones in this picture are 100% from the discount faux stems section though 🤣
.
What I'm getting at is that spring has finally decided to show us a sliver of hope here in VA and I am so ready for it! Watching the sunset from the sunroom, walking barefoot outside, and finally having an excuse to eat tons of Easter chocolate makes my heart happy. .
What do you love most about spring? Anyone else just ready for all the spring time candy and treats?? .

Friends, you have BLOWN ME AWAY with your support for the Pray Big Devotional! I can't say enough how grateful I am for that. Current stock is moving quickly -- but, don't worry! We will replenish! .
Creating this turned out to be a huge learning process for me. And what I took away from it was something I think I've missed for most of my life: the absolutely unbelievable privilege that we, as followers of Christ, have in approaching the thrown of God in prayer. We have direct communication with Him through the Holy Spirit....WHAT!?! Have you ever considered how amazing that is? The Lord laid that heavy on my heart during the weeks of creating this devotional. So, hear me loud and clear on this: THIS IS MEANT FOR HIS GLORY. And I am deeply humbled that He can use me, in all my flaws, to bring glory to Himself. I know I say it often, but I cannot say it enough: HE IS SO GOOD.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!⁣
.⁣
YOU GUYS! I have been dying to let you in on the secret for soooo long, and I've been working on this whole thing for even longer than that! But, here it is! I have created a 21-day devotional based on the number one question you guys fill my inbox with: how can prayer change my life?? Well, it took a whole 74 pages to explain it! ⁣
.⁣
Subscribers got the early access yesterday, but now YOU can get your hands on this little dream come true of mine. And let me just say, writing this reminded ME of the power of prayer. And holding this book in my hands confirmed what I already knew: GOD CAN USE ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING. ⁣
.⁣
So, what exactly is this devotional? Well, in short: it is a 3-week guide with brief daily readings that will help you get back to the basics of prayer, understand the power of communication with God, and give you the confidence to approach prayer boldly. I designed this with women of all ages in mind and in all stages of their walk with Christ. Each day of the study gives you scripture, less than five minutes of necessary reading, and a specific prayer challenge for you to start (or end) your day with. ⁣
.⁣
I can't wait to see this in your hands, on your desks, tucked into your pretty book shelves, and paired with your bibles & prayer journals. Click the link in my bio and click PRAY BIG DEVOTIONAL to get your hands on this little piece of my heart.⁣

Things I never thought I would identify myself as: blogger/writer (that was not at all my major or my intended career path!), dog mom (nope, I'm actually more of a cat person!), and someone with an email inbox full of messages from such a wonderful audience. The emails you guys send me, whether telling me that a post has touched your heart or asking me to pray for you, seriously make my day! In fact, those emails are what I hold onto when there are bumps in the road along this journey. .
I want you guys to know how grateful I am for you. How much I thrive on your sweet messages. And how blown away I am that you could be impacted by something I have said. I also want you to know that I have thought about you guys for a long time -- well before I ever started this. I used to think of you, the women I felt so called to speak to, ALL THE TIME. I couldn't get you off my mind. So, I have YOU to thank for giving me the courage I needed to step out and do this thing. Thank you, so so much. .
My inbox is always open by the way. Feel free to drop me an email of a DM any time. Whether you need prayer or just a friendly chat, I'm always here. . . . . . . .
