My journey into writing devotionals didn’t start with grand plans or theological credentials. It started with a desperate need for answers and a marriage I was determined to save—but I realized the only way to save my relationship was to start with repairing my relationship with God.

If you’re a wife at a breaking point, an exhausted mom running on empty, a believer who’s been in church for years but still feels distant from God, or anyone battling secret habits while comparing yourself to everyone else—these devotionals are for you.

From the outside, my life looked complete. I’m a mom to an amazing toddler (teaching him about Jesus is one of my greatest joys), and I had spent 19 years working in broadcast media on the engineering and technical side. I had been attending church since 2014 and even served in media ministry, using the skills God gave me to serve His people. Listening to the message each week through helping with media brought me closer to God, but despite going to church regularly and serving faithfully, something was still missing. I would look around at these incredible people in the congregation devoting their time to multiple ministries while balancing parenting and careers, and I’d wonder: why can’t I be that faithful, that devoted?

I grew up in the Catholic church where, looking back now, it felt like we never even opened the Bible. As a 24-year-old young woman, I walked into a Christian church for the first time and loved how it was more like a Bible college than a traditional service. I was hungry to develop my own relationship with God, not an inherited one. But throughout my years serving at church, my presence was up and down—I let my circumstances, thoughts, and feelings dictate whether I’d show up or not. I was trading my time with God for addictions and distractions, choosing everything else over intimacy with my Creator.

About a year and a half ago, everything began to change. I started diving deeper into the Word of God—not just reading it, but studying it, sitting with it, and most importantly, learning how to apply it to my everyday life. Since 2017, I had been reading Jesus Calling in seasons and felt deeply connected to it. Then in March 2025, God spoke clearly to me: make a devotional to learn how to lead with His heart, break free from entitlement and depression, and create an everlasting relationship with Him that would then repair my marriage.

What I loved most about this journey was discovering that Jesus doesn’t live as some distant bearded man in the sky—He lives in our hearts, ready to transform everything when we finally let Him in. As I worked through what would become my first book, Lead with God’s Heart, I was still in the middle of the struggle. I was writing through the pain, documenting the transformation in real-time as a 30-day journey. I surrendered control and let God take over my heart. Instead of leading through my own desires, expectations, and entitlement, I learned to lead through God’s heart as a wife—first for God, then in partnership with my husband.

The transformation has been remarkable. My marriage now has genuine communication and respect. I’ve been able to let go of addictions that once controlled me, proving I wasn’t just trading time anymore but truly choosing God. All my relationships have deeper roots as I get to serve people through God rather than through my own agenda. When I brought copies of Lead with God’s Heart to my church’s women’s conference, women shared how these 30 days helped them recognize entitlement they didn’t even know was getting in the way of their relationships and daily struggles. My husband has witnessed this transformation firsthand, watching me release bad habits and constant entitlement as I developed an authentic connection with God.

But even as I grew closer to God, I discovered another barrier: offense. I realized that offense was the enemy’s remaining foothold in my life—the one thing he could still use against me because I would still believe the lie that my hurt was justified. So I embarked on another 30-day journey that became Freedom from Offense, learning to recognize, release, and refuse to let offense steal my peace. I’m now more free than I’ve ever been.

Recently, my family moved from Las Vegas to Branson, Missouri, allowing me to fully focus on my publishing business and this calling God has placed on my heart. With six more books releasing before December—12 Lessons for Following Jesus Daily, Embracing Your Divine Calling, Learning to Serve with Humility, Learn to Serve Without Expectations, and Taking Action for God—I’m honored to share the transformations God continues to work in my life. I’ve also launched a podcast where each episode walks through one day of a devotional, with each season following a 30-day theme.

My devotionals aren’t written from a pulpit or theological library—they’re written from the kitchen table, the car drop-off line, the moments of desperation when you need God to show up NOW. I’m not a theologian or pastor—I’m a woman in the trenches just like you. Each book documents my own 30-day journey through a specific struggle, combining Scripture, honest reflection, and actionable steps you can take today. This isn’t about adding more to your plate; it’s about transforming how you live the life you’re already living.

Whether you’re using these devotionals for personal growth or as part of a women’s Bible study or small group (each 30-day format creates natural discussion points and accountability), my prayer is that you’ll discover what I did: when we align our hearts with God’s, everything shifts.

Today, I bring God into everything I do. I pray when I’m weary, when I’m cooking, when I’m driving. I pray with my son before bed and each morning. I pray for strangers the Lord nudges me toward who will never know. God transformed everything I am, and now I spend as much time with Him as possible.

Join me on this journey. Let’s discover together what happens when we stop leading from our own hearts and start leading from God’s.
