Blog Entry: Summer 2025

“He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” – Psalm 18:19

I’m sitting in the stillness of my first home—the one I bought as a single mother. Just me, a few boxes left to tape shut, and the gentle presence of God surrounding this moment.

This house has been more than shelter.

It’s been a sacred space.

A place of becoming.

A place where God met me—in the mess, in the milestones, in the middle of it all.

The journey here was anything but easy.

But He never let go.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” – Psalm 23:4

This home holds the moments that taught me to be brave, the ones that shaped me as a mother, and the quiet victories that revealed who I really am in Christ.

I fought for this freedom.

And through every storm, He fought for me.

Now, as I prepare to step into a new season in Birmingham, I feel the pull of this place—but I also feel the invitation to go.

The woman who was refined in this home—the one who clung to hope in the hard places—is coming with me.

“The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Tonight, as I sit in my backyard, the wind picks up.

A summer storm is rolling in—my favorite.

I used to sit through these storms with Him.

And in some mysterious way, I still do.

I hear His whisper:

“This isn’t a storm. This is My breath. I’m breathing into you—new life, restoration, joy, and hope.”

“I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.” – Joel 2:25

The house may be empty, but I am not.

Even in this moment of transition, even in the ache of goodbye—I am held.

He is here.

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5

So I take a deep breath.

I pack the last box.

And I trust Him.

One foot in front of the other.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105

He’s already gone ahead.

And His goodness will follow me.

🙏 To the reader:

If you’re in a season of transition, I want you to know—you’re not alone.

God sees. God goes before you. God stays with you.

Just one step at a time. He’s got you.
