I am selfish. There, I said it. Can you relate to this statement? It’s not something I am proud of, but it is something I struggle with on a daily basis. As I go about my day, my eyes can easily become focused on myself. I end up thinking about myself first as I make […]

It’s funny how God works sometimes, isn’t it? I sat down last week and wrote this post. In the busyness of life I typed the last period, clicked save, and there it sat on my computer for over a week. This evening God put a stiring in my heart to re-read what I had written. […]

Do you ever have days where you just feel like you are failing at everything you do? One unmet expectation or mistake leads to the next, and before you know it, you have a narrative of negative comments running through your mind such as, “I’m so stupid! How could have I done that? I suck […]

This morning was “Donuts with Dad” at my daughter’s school. After my daughter’s lunch was made and backpack packed, I kissed her goodbye and sent her on her way with my husband for some quality time together before the day began.  I took a deep breath.  One down, one to go!  I made my preschooler breakfast and […]

Over the past several months, I have been rather quiet on Inspiring Through Grace. I want you to know that during this time I have continued to pray for you, my readers, and have missed sharing my heart for Jesus with you.  Instead of sharing my heart during this time, I truly believe God was […]

Every year, parents turn to social media to vent their frustrations about dropping their children off at school using the drop-off loop. They […]

If I asked you if you loved God, how would you respond? For many of you reading this post, I would venture to say your response would sound something like mine. “Of course I love God!” It is easy to profess automatically that we love God with our words, but I want you to ponder […]

For much of my life I sat in awe and wonder of people who would pray for guidance on a matter and receive clear direction from God. Don’t get me wrong, I have been on the receiving end of multiple blessings from God as a result of prayer, but I don’t remember feeling a direct […]

I can remember it vividly. My church was selling bibles. I can see them stacked near the front right-hand corner of the church where I was sitting with my family. They were burgundy with gold letters, and I remember thinking how beautiful they were. I asked my mom to buy me one, and I’m not […]

Do you live your life on purpose? Or do you let life happen to you? We are pulled in so many directions every single day, and I have found that if we are not intentional with our time, it will pass just the same. I realized that so much of my time was spent doing […]
