Galatians 1:10 has been hitting home this week. From determining the best way to share these diary entries to deciding the intentional steps I need to take to be a true servant of Christ, I’ve been doing a lot of internal searching and a lot of external praying for God’s guidance.

I had a rough weekend. My battle with depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia reared its ugly head again, and I was caught spiraling. However, God is so good. Through His Word and His people, my heart healed quickly after this last episode, and I wanted to share the importance of being open and honest with our mental health struggles for the sake of the Church.
Also, I talk about how this podcast is no longer a podcast, and how I’ll really need your help to keep sharing these messages with those who need them.

I don’t have everything figured out. But as I study God’s word and remove distractions from my life to hear His voice, I’m met with absolute peace, including when it comes to my writing career.
I share next steps for my books and also talk about the ways God has been moving through my life recently.

I have problems. You’ve probably realized this by now. But I do think one of the greatest gifts God’s given me is the ability to self-assess my motives.
Self-assessment leads to understanding God’s conviction, then to confession, which leads to repentance. It’s a hard act of uncovering the wrongs in our hearts. But it’s a crucial tool to feel Christ’s peace.

I’ve been letting go in all areas of my life. The hardest? Raising my daughter to know Christ.
But I have faith that God has already marked out her journey and is guiding her by the hand. It’s up to me to love her fiercely and to squash any fear I have that she’ll stray.

I used to think of submission as the “s” word. Now, I find peace in fully surrendering to the path God desires for me, and this surrender extends to my writing career.
I’ve learned to let go and let God call the shots when it comes to my writing and marketing my books. But I’ve also learned how submission is fully embodied in Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection. Why not embrace something so life-giving and honoring to others?

We often don’t keep the main thing the main thing. Our human flesh is always looking for bigger, better, more success. But when we don’t put the Gospel at the forefront of our mind, the redeeming path Christ has created for all of us, are we really creating art? Or are we just creating a future the world desires?
