WELCOME TO OUR ROOTED LIFE

Hey friend, Waiting seasons can feel like the hardest seasons to walk through. There have been times when I prayed and prayed, wondering why God was taking so long to answer. It is in those delays that doubt often tries to creep in. But I’ve learned that God’s timing is never off. What feels like a delay to me is often preparation in His hands. I hold on to the reminder in Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. As this year came to a close, I wanted to take a moment to pause, breathe, and look back on everything that has unfolded. This had been one of the hardest years of my life, and yet, it has also been one of the most transformative. When I think about 2025, I see loss.I see trials. I see moments where I felt stretched beyond what I thought I could handle. I walked away from a job I worked hard to earn I lost my mom, I lost my sister, I lost

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. We all make mistakes. Some are small, some cut deep, but all of them can feel heavier than they should when we keep carrying them around. I know what it feels like to replay something over and over in my head, wishing I could go back and do it differently. The truth is, sometimes we hold on to our mistakes far longer than God ever intended us to. Romans 8:1 reminds us, “There is

Hey Friend, I'm glad you're here As this year comes to a close, a lot has come to light for me. I’ve noticed growth in ways I never expected. I’ve seen moments of beauty for ashes, and I’ve also walked through moments that felt unbearable. There were days I felt completely out of sync, unsure of what to do next, carrying a sadness I couldn’t explain. Looking back, I can admit that some of the trials I faced this year were harder than I realized at the time. I wasn’t always ha

Faith & Life: Everyday Lessons with God Hey friend, let’s chat. Life has a way of teaching us lessons in the most ordinary moments. Sometimes it’s through joy like a quiet evening with family or a walk through the garden. Other times it’s through the stretching seasons when waiting feels endless, or when chaos tries to steal our peace. In every moment, big or small, God is present, and He has something to teach us. That’s what this series is about finding God’s fingerprints

Hey friend, let’s chat. Life can get so busy that we overlook the little blessings right in front of us. I used to think joy only came from big moments, milestones, breakthroughs, answered prayers. But what I’ve learned is that joy is often tucked into the small, ordinary details of life. For me, joy looks like hearing my kids laugh in the other room. It’s a quiet morning with a hot cup of tea or a walk through the garden as the sun sets. It’s the still, gentle ways God remi

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Motherhood has stretched me in ways I never expected. It’s more than diapers, schedules, or making sure everyone is fed. Being a mom is heartwork it’s pouring love, patience, and wisdom into little lives while trusting God to fill in the gaps I can’t cover on my own. There are days when I feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and unsure if I’m doing enough. But then come the moments

Hey friend, let’s chat. Marriage is beautiful, messy, stretching, and holy all at the same time. If you’ve been married for more than a minute, you know it isn’t always butterflies and candlelight dinners. Like seasons, marriage has phases each one with its own joys and challenges. The good news? God’s Word gives us wisdom to walk through every stage with love and grace. I’ve been married for over 10 years, and I can tell you it isn’t always easy. Each phase has shaped us in

Hey friend, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Raising kids is one of the greatest blessings and also one of the biggest responsibilities God has given me. Some days it feels like pure joy watching them laugh, grow, and discover the world. Other days it feels exhausting, like I’m stretched so thin I don’t have much left to give. As children get older, the urge and desire to become their own person grows stronger. They start to test boundaries, ask more questions, a

Marriage & Family: Grace for the Journey Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here, let’s chat. Marriage and family are some of God’s greatest gifts, but they also stretch us like nothing else. Over the years I’ve learned (and am still learning) that building a strong marriage and raising children takes grace, patience, and a lot of prayer. Here’s what you’ll find: Walking Out My Call as a Wife and Mom– Balancing the roles God has given me. Raising Kids: Foundations Matter – Parent

Hey friend, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. There have been seasons in my life where I didn’t know how things would work out. Times when the bills outnumbered the paychecks, when health issues weighed heavy, or when grief left me feeling uncovered and unsteady. In those moments, I saw God’s hand more clearly than ever providing what I needed, often in ways I couldn’t have planned, and protecting me when I didn’t even realize I was in danger. I’m still in awe of ho

Hey friend, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. This season of my life feels like a wilderness. It’s not peaceful or quiet it’s heavy. It’s filled with sadness and chaos, moments where I can only whisper, “Lord, help me,” or “Give me strength.” But deep down, I know I’m exactly where God wants me to be. I didn’t stumble into this wilderness; I was led here. It’s hard to say that out loud sometimes, but I believe it’s true. God’s will doesn’t always lead us to comfort

Hey friend, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Loss has a way of shaking you to your core. It doesn’t just change your circumstances it changes you. When you’ve lost someone you love, or a dream you were holding onto, it can feel like everything stops. The world keeps turning, but your heart feels frozen in place. I’ve been there more than once. In the middle of that stillness, I’ve found myself asking, “What now, Lord? What do I do with this pain?” And over time, H

Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Faith and grief can feel like opposites sometimes. Faith says, “God is good.” Grief says, “But this hurts.” And when you’re standing between those two truths, it can feel like your heart is being pulled in opposite directions. I’ve been living in that tension lately. I believe God is who He says He is, faithful, loving, and sovereign. But I’ve also felt the weight of loss so heavy that it’s hard to breathe. Losing

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that the Lord always provides. Not just in the big, life-changing ways, but in the small, quiet moments that remind me He sees me. There have been seasons when I didn’t know how things would work out, but somehow, they always did. That’s not luck. That’s God. I can look back and see His fingerprints all over my life doors ope

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Grief is something you can’t really prepare for. You might think you understand it, but when it comes, it changes everything. It changes how you see life, how you see people, and most of all, how you see God. Over the last year, I’ve experienced loss after loss—my mother, my pregnancy, and now my sister. Each loss has felt different, but the ache of grief has been the same. It’s

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. What do you do when you’re broken, mentally unavailable, overwhelmed, or just plain over it? That’s where I find myself right now. I haven’t been able to properly mourn the loss of my mother, my pregnancy, or my sister because life keeps moving. The responsibilities don’t stop. People still need you, bills still come, and the world keeps spinning even when your heart feels stuck.

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. Exactly one month today ago today, my sister went home to be with the Lord. My heart aches even as I write those words. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that just months ago, I was still grieving my mom’s passing and now I’m grieving again. Over the last eleven months, I’ve watched my sister’s health rise and fall, holding onto hope, praying for her healing, and trusting

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here! Pull up a chair, grab something warm to sip, and let’s chat. I get asked all the time why I decided to go plant-based. Honestly, it wasn’t about chasing the latest health trendit was about finally getting tired of how I felt. I was dealing with constant aches, nagging pains, and health issues that left my body feeling completely out of whack. My energy was low, and everyday life felt harder than it should. One evening, my husband showed

Hey friend, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s talk. This post is tender for me. For a long time, I debated whether I should even write it, but I know someone out there needs to hear it. Someone navigating hope, disappointment, and the deep ache that comes when prayers don’t unfold the way we imagined. For me, the journey began long before I saw a positive test. I wasn’t actively trying to get pregnant. I wasn’t tracking, planning, or timing a
