CONNECTING GOD’S WORD TO REAL LIFE
| a faith blog |
Hey There!
If you need encouragement, you’re in the right place.
Take a seat in my living room, cup of cafe con leche in hand.
Watch the palm branches sway just outside the window and let’s talk.
I’ll remind you that God’s word never fails, and that He has a plan for the exact thing He’s asking you to endure at the moment.
By the power of His Spirit, you can navigate the rhythms of real life gracefully.
On the days when you feel far from God, discouraged, or overwhelmed, find hope in God’s word.
You are strong.
You are flourishing.
You are designed to withstand the storms of life.

The rhythm of remembering —
When you reflect on your life, you may notice rhythms of failure and victory, discouragement and hope, forgetting and unforgetting. You and I— I believe our lives are woven with a common thread: we are learning how to remember, how to bring to mind what we’ve previously learned in the moment we need it.
Truthfully, we’ll always be forgetful. We’ll forget to value our loved ones as we should and we’ll forget to respond to hardships with strength and hope. But, we’re in this together. We can embrace the reality of our forgetful nature and meet it with a fierce determination to remember truth.
the art of unforgetting —
To grow in the art of unforgetting takes purpose. Forgetfulness, like a seed, produces discouragement, but if you could unforget the right things in the hard moments, hope would flourish instead. Start by reading through one book of the Bible at a time, and take the next year to read one devo from this blog each week (pro tip: set an alarm on your phone for Monday mornings and bookmark this tab on your browser). Oh and don’t forget to find me on Insta for soul-nourishing encouragement!

Let’s explore 5 reasons to keep moving forward from Psalm 84.
