Choosing peace is choosing alignment with God instead of the need to be right. Through one of the hardest and realest friendships of my life, I learned that struggle and pain become our greatest teachers when we are willing to sit with them long enough to learn.

Verse & Vision | July 27, 2026
Sometimes the verse of the day feels like a direct message from God – or even a personal attack. James 1:19 met me that way this morning after a hard night of prayer, honest surrender, and a clear word from the Lord about the ways I’ve been working against my own healing. A reflection on patience, the trail instead of the mountain, and learning to walk with God in a body that is changing.
Verse & Vision | July 18, 2026 (+ a Personal Testimony)
“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” God used this verse + a raw video message from His heart to show me where I needed to step back and look at myself first. My own grief and stress had bled through in ways I regret. He meets us in our heaviness—not with shame, but with tenderness. You are never a burden to Him.
Putting Down the Exhaustion: When the Apps Align and the Spirit Speaks

Verse & Vision | May 22, 2026
The last fifteen years have been a lot. Cancer. Alzheimer’s. Caregiving. Loss after loss – the kind that moves in and stacks up until it pulls you under with it. And layered underneath all of that, my own mess. But He was before all of it. And in Him, somehow, all of it is holding together. Not in spite of the wreckage. Through it. Anything good you see in me is just God. It comes from being dragged by Him through the refiner’s fire, and Him giving my heart the strength to beat at all.

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”
Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine
The Issue of Religious Deconstruction The topic—nay, the issue—of religious deconstruction is far from a new one. In fact, we’ve discussed it before here at the Twin Tree Project. Yet, as I’ve immersed myself in the spiritual and religious communities on X, hoping to engage, explore and grow with more people of like mind andContinueContinue reading “Deconstructing the Chains of Tradition: Unlearning Religion to Experience God, Reclaim Spirituality, and Understand the Bible Beyond Doctrine”
When Holiness Feels Like a Burden: A Prophetic Warning & A Call to Endure
For the past several weeks, I’ve been receiving “extreme” messages—some in the form of scripture, some in the form of inner knowing, and some in the form of dreams that linger long after I wake up. I’ve had many of these dreams throughout my life—dreams so real that I can still feel them in myContinueContinue reading “When Holiness Feels Like a Burden: A Prophetic Warning & A Call to Endure”
