Continue reading →: Not your average Job study. Part 1
Instead of rehashing the usual questions—who Job was, why he suffered, or what God was doing—I want to take a closer look at the people around him. His friends. The ones who showed up, spoke up, and sometimes messed up. Because if I’m honest, I see pieces of myself in…

Continue reading →: Eyes Up, Face Down: Real Prayer Looks Like Both
I’d love to spend some meaningful time reflecting on prayer with you. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh great, another lecture on folding my hands just right,” hang with me. Jesus not only prayed often, but He actually took the time to teach us how to pray.…

Well, this might get messy—but come with me on a walk through prayer in my head. Buckle up, it’s a ride. “Good morning, God. (Wait—creamer crisis. I’m here, just slightly under-caffeinated.) Lord, I praise You for all You do—for giving us Your Son, for blessing my life beyond measure. You…

Continue reading →: Faith and Obedience —With a Side of “I Told You So”
I want to take a quick step back to a previous post—because, let’s be honest, I love a good healthy debate. A friend of mine (ok fine, she’s not just “a friend,” she’s my spiritual mama and she knows it), shared a different perspective on God’s love language. If you…

Have you ever had someone announce their “love language” like it’s breaking news? Don’t worry, we’re not suddenly speaking French or Klingon here. It’s just a fancy way of saying: “Here’s how I like to be loved, please take notes.” Some examples: You get the idea. There are more of…

Yesterday was heavy. I had thoughts, some spoken over me by others, some whispered by my own heart. Moments that still ache when I remember them. None of them were kind. They settled on me like a weight I couldn’t shake off or forget. They felt like rocks. Heavy ones.…

When I started Faith Over Chaos, I wanted to remind us all that faith isn’t just for the quiet, candlelit moments when everything feels serene, secure and let’s be real just going my way. Faith is also for the messy, noisy, chaotic seasons when life is throwing you lemons and…

I’m going to paint you a picture of me. I stand alone in front of you, wearing my old, worn flip-flops—the only shoes that have ever truly understood me. My hair is streaked with gray, which might look like wisdom earned over time… if I hadn’t started graying early. Maybe…

Continue reading →: Not Favoritism—Just Family
There’s a kind of competition that unfolds in my family—not the kind with trophies or scoreboards, but the kind that makes you laugh and reflect. It’s playful, persistent, and oddly insightful. When my children were little, they’d race to the door the moment I got home, each one determined to…

My son Daniel used to have this adorable little habit when he was caught red-handed in mischief. Well to be honest I wasn’t thinking about how adorable at the time. He’d just… stare at me. Like maybe if he held eye contact long enough, I’d forget the writings on the…
