Today’s daily reminder. 💗

God hasn’t forgotten you.

When you feel lost, unseen, overlooked, or like you’ve wandered too far—remember: He leaves the 99 to come after the one.

And sometimes, that one is you.

You are worth searching for.
You are worth pursuing.
You are deeply known and deeply loved by your Shepherd.

No matter how far away you may feel, His love still reaches you. He knows exactly where you are, and He isn’t giving up on bringing you back into His arms.

“He left the 99 to save me.” 🐑❤️
Luke 15:4–7

Maybe today you just needed the reminder that God sees you, God knows you, and God has not forgotten you.

🌎 Have you ever let this world define your worth?

Has someone told you what you were worth—and you believed them?
Have you been judged, rejected, betrayed, or made to feel like you were somehow less than?

If so, know this:

❤️You are not alone.
And that was never God’s design for you.

I speak to those who have been hurt, betrayed, rejected, and broken. So many of us have believed we were “less than” simply because of the words spoken over us by someone else. We allowed people to define our value.

But that is not God’s truth.

Someone recently said to me, in essence, “You’re not worth this…”

For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond. Those words were meant to belittle me, tear me down, and make me question my value.

Then the truth came to my heart.

No… I am worth so much more.
Not because I say so.
Not because someone else says so.

Because God says so.

I am not defined by another person’s opinion, rejection, or inability to see my value. My worth was established long before anyone ever spoke words over me. It was given to me by my Heavenly Father.

🕊️Jesus reminds us:

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Luke 12:7

The God who remembers every sparrow knows your name. He knows every hair on your head. He sees every tear you’ve cried, every wound you’ve carried, and every lie you’ve believed.

And still…

💗He calls you precious.

So when someone belittles you, rejects you, or tears you down, I pray that their voice becomes quieter than God’s truth.

Listen to the One who created you.
The One who calls you His.

The One who says you are precious, deeply loved, and worth dying for.

Don’t let people define your value. Let your Creator define your identity.

I see you.
God sees you.
God loves you.

Break free from the lies, and walk in the truth of who He says you are. ❤️

💗 So I’ve been doing just a little bit of Bible
journaling lately and this just might be my favorite yet. I put a prayer in my Bible over my child and then I put her hand print and foot print in my Bible paired with the scripture “For this Child I have Prayed and the Lord granted my Prayer.” 🙏
I also put in my niece and nephews hand prints as well along with prayer with scripture.
❤️My goal is to someday hand this down to my child and I hope it is extremely meaningful and a powerful blessing.

🍃 Some seasons aren’t about having all the answers.
They’re about learning to trust the One who does.

Lately, God has been reminding me that faith isn’t always loud. Sometimes faith looks like opening your Bible when your heart feels heavy.
Sometimes it looks like praying through tears.
Sometimes it looks like choosing hope before your circumstances change.

If today feels uncertain, don’t let uncertainty convince you that God is absent.

Roots grow in the dark long before anyone sees the tree.

Keep seeking Him.
Keep trusting Him.
Keep planting His Word in your heart.❤️

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.”
— Psalm 1:3

💛 Can I be honest for a moment?

Lately, I’ve been struggling with understanding how God truly loves me.

For so long, I’ve listened to the enemy’s lies instead of God’s truth. Those lies whispered that because of my mistakes, my failures, and my shortcomings, I wasn’t worthy of love. They convinced me that if I couldn’t see value in myself, surely God couldn’t either.

It has been a battle in my mind.

I’ve found myself asking,
“How could God continue to love me after everything I’ve done?”

But the more I spend time with Him, the more I realize something…

God’s love isn’t earned. It’s given.

He already knows every mistake I’ve made.
Every regret.
Every fear.
Every hidden thought.

And yet… He still chooses to love me.

Not because of what I’ve done.
Not because I’ve somehow become “good enough.”

But because He is good.

As I look at my daughter, I catch a small glimpse of what that kind of love looks like.

There is absolutely nothing she could ever do that would make me stop loving her. She doesn’t have to earn my love. She already has it because she’s my daughter.

How much more must our Heavenly Father love us?

I am His daughter.
His creation.
Known completely.
Loved deeply.

So today, I’m choosing to surrender this battle in my mind to Him.

I’m still learning to let the truth of His love move from my head… into my heart.

Maybe you’re fighting the same battle.

Maybe you’ve believed the lie that you’ve gone too far, failed too much, or aren’t worthy of God’s love.

If that’s you…

Please hear this:

God’s love is not waiting for you to become perfect. His arms are already open.

Walk into His embrace.

You don’t have to earn a place there.

🌻 A sunflower doesn’t shine because of itself.
It shines because it faces the sun.

What if we lived like that?

Choosing gratitude over bitterness.
Hope over fear.
Faith over doubt.

The more we turn toward Jesus, the more His light is reflected in us.

“Let your light shine before others.” — Matthew 5:16

🌻Keep your face towards the Son.

🇺🇸 250 Years of Blessings

As I watched the sun set over these flags, I couldn’t help but think of God’s faithfulness.

America has never been perfect, but through every generation, God’s hand has remained evident. His mercy has carried us farther than we deserve, and His grace has given us blessing after blessing.

Today I’m grateful—not only for the freedoms we enjoy, but for the God who is still sovereign over every nation.

My prayer is that we would once again be a people who seek Him first, walk in humility, love our neighbors, and remember that our greatest hope has never been found in government, wealth, or power—but in Christ alone.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” — Psalm 33:12 ❤️

💜 Today my heart has felt heavy.

When life feels uncertain, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, and frustration—especially when the answers don’t come in the timing we hoped for.

Our emotions often reflect our circumstances, and circumstances can change.

But God doesn’t.

He is constant.
He is unchanging.
He is our firm foundation.

So today, I’m choosing not to let my feelings define my hope. Instead, I’m fixing my eyes on the One who already sees tomorrow.

Because even when I can’t see the path ahead…

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11

❤️ If your heart feels heavy today too, know that you’re not walking through it alone.
