Burn the Ships: Committed and Unapologetic
Committing to God’s calling is rarely easy or popular. Letting go of the things that hold you back—and choosing to take the road less traveled—is not for the faint of heart. But what if you did? What might your life look like? This blog is about burning strongholds, releasing expectations, and becoming the person God created you to be.

Embrace the Process: Where is God Leading You?
I recently shared this message at a women’s retreat and felt led to pass it along here. It’s a reminder we all need: true success isn’t just about reaching a goal—it’s about who we become along the way. God works in the waiting, the struggle, and the small steps of obedience.
If you’re feeling stuck or discouraged, I pray this encourages you. Take a moment to read—and let it remind you to embrace the process you are in today.
Redefine Success: Embrace the Process
Success rarely follows a straight path—it is through the twists and turns that God refines us and prepares us for what is ahead.

Redefine Success: What I Wish I Knew at 17
When I was 17, I thought success looked like a college degree, a corner office, and a hefty paycheck. Now, at 37, success is keeping the kids alive, drinking coffee before it gets cold, and navigating Legos like they’re landmines. If I could go back, I’d tell my younger self not to take herself so seriously. A college degree won’t define you, your job isn’t who you are, and nothing is more fulfilling than being a devoted wife and mother.
Self-Worth vs. Net Worth
You can never out-earn your self-worth. True wealth isn’t in money or status but in peace, contentment, and knowing your value in Christ. The real question is where you place your trust.
