You Were Always Part of the Plan

  Scripture: “And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children... Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” — Ephesians 3:6,12 NLT Devotional: Sometimes the question isn’t Can God do it? It’s will He do it for me? We sit quietly in rooms full of people and wonder if we’ve been counted out. If maybe we missed our moment. If maybe God saw us, but didn’t choose us. But Ephesians 3 interrupts that lie with truth. Paul reveals something that should shake your spirit awake: you were always part of the plan. Not an afterthought. Not a backup. Not someone God was stuck with. You are a daughter or son deliberately placed in the family of God. This chapter unveils a holy mystery that once felt hidden behind stained glass and sealed scrolls. But now, it’s made clear—God’s plan was never limited to one people, one background, one kind of perso...

Sunday Night Blog: Perfect Peace

-
Image
 This week was a whirlwind. A beautiful, exhausting, exhilarating whirlwind. I launched one of the most personal books I’ve ever written— a book that carries pieces of me between its pages —and with it came the podcast, the interviews, the late nights, and the full schedule. I knew it was going to be busy. I knew the weight of what I was releasing. And I knew if I wasn’t intentional, peace would slip through my fingers before I even had the chance to hold it. So I made a decision before the chaos hit. I decided that peace wasn’t going to be an afterthought—it was going to be a priority. I wouldn’t wait until I felt overwhelmed to go looking for it. I was going to guard my peace before the storm rolled in. That meant taking deep breaths when my mind started racing, whispering “God, I trust You” when the pressure crept in, and refusing to let anxiety run my schedule. It meant knowing that I don’t have to carry what God has already covered. And now, on this Sunday night, as I sit wit...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Five

  Day 5: The Wedding Day – Stepping Into the Promise Scripture: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." —Revelation 19:7 (NIV) Devotional: The waiting is over. The long nights, the prayers, the preparation—it all led to this. The bride stands at the altar, fully dressed, fully prepared, fully ready . She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t question if she belongs here. She knows this moment was always meant to be. But how many of us pray for the promise, only to freeze when it finally arrives? We question if we’re qualified, if we’re worthy, if we can really handle what we’ve been waiting for. But sis, let me remind you— God didn’t bring you this far to leave you standing at the altar in fear. The same God who prepared you for this moment is the same God who will carry you through it. Every delay, every lesson, every “not yet” was God making sure you’d be ready when the doors opened. This isn’...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Four

  Day 4: The Wedding Rehearsal – Preparing in Faith Scripture: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." —Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Devotional: Before the big day, there’s a rehearsal. A walk-through. A moment to act like it’s already happening before it actually does. The bride doesn’t wait until the wedding day to figure things out—she steps into the rehearsal fully believing that the real thing is on its way. She practices her steps, fixes her posture, and moves with confidence because she knows it’s coming. And that’s exactly what faith looks like. Faith isn’t waiting until the door opens to get ready—it’s preparing before you even see it happen. It’s walking like it’s yours before it’s placed in your hands. It’s making room, shifting your mindset, and putting things in order as if you already have the answer in front of you. Sis, are you waiting or are you preparing ? Because there’s a difference. One sits still, hoping something...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Three

  Day 3: The Guest List – Letting Go of Distractions Scripture: "For many are invited, but few are chosen." —Matthew 22:14 (NIV) Devotional: Every bride knows— not everybody gets an invite. She sends out her invitations with care because this day is sacred. It’s not for just anyone. It’s for the ones who truly belong in the room, the ones who celebrate with her, pray for her and want the best for her future. And just like a bride refines her guest list, you have to refine yours. Not everyone can go where God is taking you. Not everyone has earned a seat in your next season. Some people are in your life for a moment, but they can’t handle your forever . Some distractions feel comfortable, but they are keeping you from the preparation God is calling you into. It’s time to ask yourself—who and what is in my space that doesn’t belong? Who in my life is building me up in faith, and who is draining it? What habits, conversations, and mindsets are pulling me away from what God is...

  Day 2: The Dress – Clothed in Righteousness Scripture: "I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness." —Isaiah 61:10 (NIV) Devotional: Every bride knows—the dress isn’t just fabric. It’s a statement. A declaration. It says, I’m ready . But before she steps into that moment, before she walks down that aisle, she has to go through fittings. She gets measured, altered, reshaped. Sometimes, what she thought would fit needs to be adjusted. Sometimes, what she envisioned isn’t what she actually needs. And isn’t that just like God? He’s fitting you for the future He’s promised, but some of us are still trying to wear what no longer fits. Old mindsets. Past wounds. Comfortable sins. Connections that no longer serve where He’s taking us. We hold onto them, thinking they still belong in our story, but God is saying, Let it go. That’s not your size anymore. Righteousness isn’...

Day 1: The Engagement – Saying Yes to the Process Scripture: "I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him." —2 Corinthians 11:2 (NIV) Devotional: A proposal shifts everything. One moment, life is normal—then suddenly, you’re chosen. Set apart. Marked for something greater. And when a bride says yes, the countdown begins. Dresses, venues, invitations—every detail is about preparing for what’s coming. But preparation requires faith because the wedding day isn’t today, it’s ahead. And sometimes, between the promise and the fulfillment, it doesn’t feel like preparation—it feels like waiting. Waiting isn’t glamorous. It’s the space where doubt creeps in. Where you wonder if you misheard God, if the promise is still coming, if you’re forgotten. But here’s the truth—Saying yes to God isn’t just about the what He’s promised, it’s about the who you’re becoming while you wait. Just like a...
