I had nothing left to offer. No performance. No effort. Just the raw and quiet reality of a woman too tired to try anymore. And that is exactly where God met me. I thought I knew and loved stillness before that moment, but in that stillness, something began to change that all my years of striving and even meditation had never touched. I was not led away from my faith. I was led through the fog of it, until I could see it clearly for the first time.

The Image of the Cross: Curse or Blessing, and What Are You Living? | Daily Bread
Someone told me recently that wearing a cross is a sin. “It’s a graven image, a violation of God’s law.” But a careful study of Scripture tells a very different story.
The second commandment was never a prohibition against every image or symbol. It was a command against worshiping created things as gods. God himself commanded images to be made, each one pointing toward His glory, His presence, and His provision… and ultimately toward the cross.
Christ broke every curse the law carried through His sacrifice, fulfilling what none of us ever could. The cross around the neck of a humble, spirit-filled believer is not an idol. It is a symbol of redemption, freedom, and the good news of salvation. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and we are commanded to carry that truth into the world.
When Your Faith Shakes | Daily Bread
This is not a polished testimony with a tidy ending. This is what it actually looks like when the shaking is happening — in real time, in a real life, with a real God who is not confused even when I am. I had thought my faith was at the strongest it had ever been. And then the month I’m about to describe happened. This is what I found when I got quiet enough.
Sunday Sessions: What I Heard in the Quiet, and What I’m Still Wrestling With
“If you’ve turned your back on Israel, you hate your own Savior.” A meditation-born truth that won’t let go. Honest reflections on Jesus’ Jewishness, biblical contradictions, Paul’s challenging passages, and why some questions stay with us until the other side.
Character Speaks Louder Than Words | Daily Bread
As believers, we are often exposed to teachers or leaders who fail to live by the truths they preach. This is why scripture repetitively reminds us that discernment is essential. This post explores the difference between mistakes and willful choices, how to recognize hypocrisy without judgment, and why believers are called to protect their spiritual health by following truth over charisma. Practical guidance and scripture help readers embody discernment and allow God to shape character from within.
Grief is Praise: The Sacred Work of Loving What We’ve Lost | Daily Bread
We live in a culture that treats grief like a broken bone. It morphs grief into something that needs to be set, healed quickly, and returned to normal function as soon as possible. We’re given timelines for mourning, prescribed stages to move through, and gentle but persistent pressure to “find closure” and “move on.” ButContinueContinue reading “Grief is Praise: The Sacred Work of Loving What We’ve Lost | Daily Bread”
From Roots to Renewal | Where We Grow From Here
Silence isn’t absence. It’s work being done. Deep work. The kind that doesn’t always announce itself but shows up later as fruit. I have been mostly quiet in terms of writing and sharing here at Twin Tree throughout 2025. I’ve shared about some situational things here and there, mostly to help keep focus on theContinueContinue reading “From Roots to Renewal | Where We Grow From Here”
The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me
There’s a term from developmental biology that stuck with me the first time I heard it: chreode. It describes a kind of groove—a well-worn path of least resistance that cells tend to follow during development. Once they start down that track, the path becomes harder to exit. It shapes them. Defines them. Holds them inContinueContinue reading “The Shape of Escape: A Testimony of Climbing Out of What Almost Kept Me”
The Song Glass Will Never Know: Why Crystal Costs More | Science & Spirituality
Most people don’t know the difference between glass and crystal. They look similar, come from the same basic materials, and you could set them side by side and not immediately know which is which. But the difference in price? Significant. And the reason is not what most people would guess. I have been called too sensitive my whole life. Too deep. Too much. People were never wrong that I am sensitive. They were just wrong about what that means.
Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series
In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence | “Authenticity Unveiled” Series”
