Balanced over Beaten
How often do we find ourselves feeling pulled in too many directions, leaving little of us to truly honor the people and things we choose to devote our time and energy to? When I try to imagine what this strive for “worldly balance” looks like, I imagine a juggler or plate-spinner trying to keep things in perfect rhythm without dropping the ball (or plate, if you will). If you don’t know what I am referencing with plate-spinning, pause your reading and go look it up. Prepare to experience you...
Devotion over Distraction
How often do you find yourself talking to the Lord and all of a sudden catch yourself deep in a thought involving something that you’re anticipating - totally separated from your prayer? I often catch this happening on my commute to or from work, especially on those days that I hit snooze one too many times or try to squeeze in one more thing and don’t prioritize giving the Lord space to join me in the step-by-step parts of the day.
Assured over Anxious
As I write this, I can’t help but imagine God’s presence with me like a loving father who has graciously been trying to help me solve a seemingly-tricky math problem on an assignment that I should have grasped a while ago. I can clearly envision Him giving me a warm smile and gently patting me on the back as the light bulb finally goes off in my head, and I feel so silly for not understanding the overall concept long before now. I hope this message resonates with my friends who grapple with d...
Small seeds in big faith move mountains
Do you believe you have a ministry? One specifically ordained for you?Sometimes we underestimate the power that lies in our ministry due to the fear of inadequacy. The lies of not believing you will have the “right” words to say because you don’t know “enough scripture”. The lies of not believing specific prayer for someone put on your heart will really make an impact.The lies of not believing your ordinary day-to-day could impact God’s Kingdom in mighty ways. BUT let me tell you the TRUTH! S...
Season of Sowing: Wait + Anticipate
“I planted the seed...but God has been making it grow” 1 Corinthians 3:6 NIVWhen we’ve done all that we’ve been called to do in our season of sowing, the final most important step is to watch God work while we wait.
Season of Sowing: Obedience
“Let us not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” Galatians 6:9Obedience can be hard — like really, really, hard. It has a tendency to lead to some weariness because it challenges us to keep saying yes in moments we don’t think we can keep waiting or holding on. You may find yourselves in seasons where you keep answering and following the call, planting the seeds, but have yet to have your opportunity to reap. This is our encouragement we...
Season of Sowing: Surrender
When we declare to The Lord that we trust in what He is asking us to sow, we begin to witness and walk in the freedom found in letting go.

Season of Sowing
We give power to the seeds we sow in our lives. When we sow seeds, our hope is to watch something beautiful grow. Seeds can be anything; things like relationships, careers, finances, and even our deepest hopes and dreams. But the real question is, do the seeds we’re planting align biblically? Scripture tells us: “Whoever sows to please their flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the spirit from the spirit will reap eternal life” Gal 6:7-8If we long to reap fruit that edifies C...
Wheatful Woman Event: Birthday Bash + Worship Night
We planned a modest back-yard, boho-themed, candlelit dinner and worship night to celebrate W&HC's 5th birthday. Less than 5 days before we welcomed our guests, God made it abundantly clear He had other plans.
Friday afternoon, we signed a contract with BRIK Venue Fort Worth due to torrential (quite literally) rain. We put our heads down, we prayed A LOT and we did what the intention of this event was to do, give HIM the Glory.
On Wednesday, we opened the doors to the BRIK and welcom...
