sister, you were made to thrive
I know I’m not the only one who’s found herself on the “Struggle Bus,” wondering if thriving is even possible in seasons of exhaustion and grief. But what if thriving is really about surrendering to the One who is? In this blog, Cheryl shares paradoxical truths, biblical hope, and why rest may just be the most radical form of trust we can offer.

what i know about flourishing
Thriving with Jesus doesn’t mean having it all figured out. It means knowing Him personally—not through your parents, your pastor, or your church attendance, but through a deep, daily dependence that transforms your heart. Even in the darkest valleys, we can flourish when we surrender our self-reliance and lean fully into His faithfulness.

this is still holy ground
Maybe you’re in a waiting season, wondering if God has forgotten you. But what if the waiting isn’t a detour, it’s the destination for now? This blog reminds us that even the mundane, even the slow, even the hard can still be holy. The God who gave you a promise is also the One using the in-between to prepare you for it.

living open in a guarded world
Community may be a buzzword, but for the church, it’s a lifeline. In a world that prizes independence and self-protection, this blog explores how Christ calls us to something deeper… connection that’s honest, healing, and rooted in grace. Even in anxiety or fear, there is a place for you in the body of Christ.

the sacred middle
We all have our Middles. So why not make them Sacred? Most times we want out, but God uses our in-between spaces to shape us. When we remain in Him, our frustration turns to fruit. The Sacred Middle is where transformation takes root.

The Gifts Hidden in the Grind
We can choose to see more than just the weight of it. We can look for the gifts God has hidden in these everyday moments—the character He’s shaping, the focus He’s restoring, the direction He’s giving, and the relationships He’s building.

roots before fruit
If you find yourself in a winter season, remember this: the deeper the roots, the stronger the fruit.

When Obedience Feels Ordinary
Whether this is your forever or just a season, build the habit of viewing ordinary practices as the acts of obedience and worship that they truly are.
