Faith in Jesus Is Good. Having His Faith Is Better.
I can’t believe we are already here—the wrapping up of summer. I am incredibly grateful for the summer we have had: the travel, backyard parties, Padres baseball, warm weather, but most especially, having both kids home. I couldn’t help thinking that this could possibly be the last time they would both be home for an… Continue reading

Hey Friend, What Are We Doing Today?
I love summer. Every year I look forward to the longer days, warmer weather, fun trips, and the freedom that seems to come with the season. Now that we’re well into the middle of summer, I’m reminded how quickly it all passes. We spend months looking forward to it, and then suddenly we’re talking about… Continue reading

Adjusting to a Royal Life
My son just graduated from college and I am a proud mama. With his degree, he stepped into a new season of life. A whole new set of opportunities, relationships, and realities became available to him. He joined a community with a rich history and global influence. He gained access to accomplished alumni, world-class professors,… Continue reading

En-courage-ment
Recently, while my husband was away on a trip, my sister came to visit me. We’re working together on a Daniel Fast cookbook and devotional—something that feels both exhilarating and, if I’m honest, a little daunting. I’m not a published author. I’m not a famous chef. I simply had a bold idea, and my sister… Continue reading

Limitless
I was recently on a cross-country flight when I was strangely overcome by how grateful I was to travel. Not just for the places I have gotten to see. Not just for the people travel allows us to spend time with. But for the miracle of flight itself. I know, it sounds weird. But thousands… Continue reading

Or Something Better
My son flew home for a quick visit, and like any mom, I prayed for safe, smooth travels. The last time he came home, the evening fog rolled in thick. After circling for an hour, his flight was rerouted to Los Angeles, and he had to Uber the rest of the way. Not exactly the… Continue reading

Each Part Matters
Even though my bracket is busted, I’m still all in on March Madness. It’s just too compelling not to be—the intensity in every game. What draws me in most is watching the mix of players on a team. The best teams aren’t just talented; they’re the most aligned. Every player knows their role. The point… Continue reading

Both Can Be True
There’s a tension I’ve been noticing lately—one I don’t think we talk about enough. The kind where two things feel true at the same time. We can be grieving something, or someone, we’ve lost and still be taking steps forward. We can feel disappointment in what didn’t happen and still carry hope for what could.… Continue reading

I Am Woman, Hear Me… Surrender
I am woman, hear me… surrender. That’s not exactly the anthem my generation grew up singing. As a Gen X’er, I came of age in the 80s and 90s during a season when feminism felt bold, individualistic, and a little rebellious. We were a generation that prided ourselves on independence. We were told: go to… Continue reading

The Role of a Lifetime
Who has plans for the Oscars? Maybe you’ll watch. Maybe you won’t. Either way, at some point someone will stand on the stage, holding a gold statue, and say it was “the role of a lifetime.” We reserve that phrase for something extraordinary. Rare. Career-defining. Worthy of applause. But I’ve been wondering lately if we’ve… Continue reading
