When waiting feels impossible... Patience is cultivated in the quiet spaces—around the table, in prayer, and in the waiting. The other night, while cooking with my husband, I couldn’t help but notice how different we are in the kitchen, Reader. He likes things quick and simple—done in no time. But I come from Europe, where preparing a meal is never rushed. From selecting fresh ingredients to imagining the dish to slow prep and cooking, everything takes time. Even breakfast growing up was...

The doubts you feel are stealing God's work... "As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful" Matthew 13:22 Have you ever caught yourself holding tightly to control or doubting God’s plans because it feels safer than trusting Him fully, Reader? Even this week, I had one of those moments. Monday came, and I started feeling anxious about work. I found myself questioning:...

Can you find Peace in Chaos? Encountering God in the Messy Places... Have you ever walked into a room and wanted to turn right back around, Reader? That was me at a recent school event. I felt invisible, underdressed, and awkward. Everything in me wanted to retreat to my car—but I stayed. Maybe for you, it’s not walking into a crowded room. Maybe your challenge looks different—doubts that keep circling, intrusive thoughts that steal your peace, or uncertainty about what tomorrow will hold. No...

Strength for the Unknown comes from God's Promise, Word and Presence... "The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 This week on Curious for Christ, Reader, we’re diving into Joshua 1:1–9, where God tells Joshua, “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua is stepping into enormous responsibility, facing unknown challenges, and probably wondering if he’s up for it. But God doesn’t give him a step-by-step plan—He gives him three...

An invitation to rest in Him... "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 Reader, have you ever felt so overwhelmed that even hope feels out of reach? Maybe it’s the mounting responsibilities, the emotional weight you carry for others, or the quiet battles in your own soul. You want peace—but all you see is the storm. I’ve been there too. And if I’m honest, when I’m overwhelmed, my mind tries to fix everything at once. But that never brings...

When Anxiety Keeps you Spinning, Reset so You can Trust God Again... Sometimes healing begins where the waves meet the rock—where we stop striving and let Him hold us... Lately Reader, I’ve been feeling weary—especially in my marriage. It’s like our old, default patterns surfaced all at once. He longs for admiration and encouragement. I long for safety and peace. But instead of seeing what he is, I kept zeroing in on what he wasn’t. And I realized—I’ve still been looking to him to meet needs...

God cares most about our heart—here's why? Reader, I’ve been chasing change in all the usual ways—maybe you have too? Trying harder. Learning more. Buying courses. Doing “the work.” And don’t get me wrong—I love learning. I believe God gave me this hunger to grow, to understand, to go deeper. It’s one of the ways I worship Him. But lately, I’ve had to face a hard truth: Lasting change doesn’t come from effort alone. It starts in the heart. What matters most isn’t the work we do, the...

Spiritual maturity is a daily walk... Just recently, I had a conversation that stayed with me, Reader. A woman I work with—successful, driven, and very professional—shared how overwhelmed she felt by the ups and downs of the market. As I listened, I quietly responded, “I trust God.” It wasn’t a statement to impress her. It was more of a declaration to myself. It was reminder that I refuse to let anxiety or fear write the story. God brought me here, and I’m walking with Him—not racing ahead...

When Culture Creeps In: Return to the Joy of your Salvation... You were never meant to be shaped by the world. You were made to walk in freedom with Christ Everywhere I look, Reader—on social media, in books, in coaching spaces—I hear powerful messages about finding freedom: “Rewire your brain.” “Celebrate small wins.” “Confidence comes through clarity and cash flow.” Honestly? Some of these messages have helped me... to some extent. I’ve learned from neuroscience. I’ve gained practical tools...
