I Choose Today to Love: An Easter Reflection

The world shows no mercy. It is a hard, unrelenting force—loud, demanding, self-centered. It keeps score, holds grudges, and prides itself on being right. It boasts in success and compares endlessly, always asking, “How do I measure up?” But Jesus showed us something different. “No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). And that’s exactly what He did. While we were still sinning, He died for us. He stood in the gap between us and God, bearing the weight of every sin—not because we earned it, but because love compelled Him. His love didn’t end at the cross. It continues today—patient, gentle, never forcing. He waits for us to choose Him… even though He already chose us. He never gives up on us. Our failures don’t stop His faithfulness. He is our hope—the very source of it. He wipes the slate clean. His mercy makes space for us to begin again. He is Love. When Scripture describes love in 1 Corinthians 13, it’s not just a list of ideals—it’s a picture of Jesus Himself. Every attribute of love written there is found in Him. He is patient. He is kind. He

Podcast Episode 4: I Choose Today to Walk Toward Healing

There are some episodes that go beyond teaching. They come from the sacred places of personal experience—the moments you didn’t think you’d survive but somehow did. That’s what this one is. In this episode of I Choose Today, I’m sharing a very personal part of my healing journey. A moment that changed me. A moment that brought me to the end of myself—and to the feet of Jesus. After the loss of my son to SIDS, I was broken in ways I didn’t yet understand. I was functioning, showing up, caring for my two-year-old daughter—but I wasn’t present. I was numb. Surviving. Until one ordinary afternoon when I completely broke. In the aftermath of an emotional outburst, I found myself sobbing on the edge of a bathtub, whispering the words, “Lord, help.” That moment became the start of something. It was the whisper that began a healing journey—a moment of raw surrender that cracked open the numbness and let Jesus in. Painful. But holy. This episode is for the ones still carrying pain. The ones who have walked through abuse, betrayal, loss, abandonment, rejection. It’s for the ones who are bleeding on the inside and smiling on the outside. You are

I Choose Today to Recognize the Good

“Every good and perfect gift is from above…” James 1:17 (NIV) I don’t always recognize the good. Not because it’s not there, but because I’m often too distracted to notice it. But God’s goodness? It hasn’t stopped flowing — even when life has felt heavy, or lonely, or hard. It’s not always loud or obvious. Sometimes it looks like a kind word, an unexpected text, a quiet morning, or strength for one more step. I remember when I was really sick for a long time. I had friend just show up with some soup and vitamins. She sat with me and just chatted for a while. It didn’t fix anything, but it reminded me that God hadn’t left. That even in my hard moments, His goodness still found me. Moments like that have changed the way I see things. Because when we train our eyes to look for His goodness, we begin to realize how present He’s always been. Romans 8:28 says that God works all things together for good — not just the pleasant or easy things. That means the pain, the waiting, the uncertainty — none of it is wasted. He’s working even when we don’t feel it,

I Choose Today to Stand in Victory

I knew stepping into obedience would cost something—but I didn’t expect the resistance to feel this fierce. Launching a podcast wasn’t just a creative step. It was a Kingdom step. And from the moment I said yes, I could feel the enemy trying to say no.  As I got closer to the launch date, the resistance intensified. Mere hours before everything was set to go live, I found myself sick, discouraged, and overwhelmed. Everything felt like it was falling apart—and honestly, I wondered if I’d even make it to release day. The attacks didn’t come all at once or with flashing lights. Some of them were subtle. Some came in the form of discouragement, self-doubt, or constant tech issues that made me want to quit before I even started. Others came as spiritual heaviness or emotional overwhelming moments that didn’t make sense until I looked deeper. Spiritual warfare is real. We often expect it to look like a scene from a movie, but more often than not, it’s in the weariness that won’t lift, the fear that creeps in after you’ve taken a bold step, or the doubt that whispers, “You’re not equipped for this.” But Scripture reminds us:  “For
