These devotionals are shared in the order they were written- from oldest to newest. Growth doesn’t happen all at once, and neither did this journey. Each reflection stands on its own, but together they tell a story. You can begin wherever you find yourself.
The Gift of the Valley: Learning to Heal
It started with a simple agreement: ‘I will just eat the egg.’ I didn’t realize then that this small act of surrender was the first step out of along valley of laboring for everyone but myself. This is a story about finding rest when you are heavy laden.
The Seeds I Almost Didn’t Plant
Some seeds are hardest to plant because we can’t see what they’ll become. This devotional reflects on hesitation, trust, and the quiet ways God invites us to step forward in faith
When Weeds Grow in the Garden
Even the most carefully tended gardens grow weeds. This devotional reflects on recognizing what doesn’t belong, tending our hearts with God’s help, and learning to address growth without shame.
Learning What Was Mine
Not everything we carry belongs to us. This devotional reflects on learning to release borrowed beliefs and discovering what God always intended us to hold-grace, truth, and freedom.
Growing Where I’m Loved
For a long time, I confused endurance with growth. This reflection explores how God led me away from fear and into places where love made healing possible.
The Ones Who Saved Me First
I didn’t recognize it as rescue at the time. I only knew I wasn’t alone. This is a reflection on the people God placed in my life before I knew how to ask for help-and how He saves us in ways we don’t always recognize at first.
The Cut That Went Deeper
Not every cut is meant to destroy. Some reveal the places where God is already working-pruning with intention and healing deeper than we expected.
The Garden That Knew My Name
Some gardens look beautiful but quietly teach you to shrink. This devotional reflects on the moment I realized I was allowed to leave-even the places that looked good from the outside-and trust God with where I was meant to grow.
