I Choose Today to Trust the Process: Podcast Episode 7

We’ve all been there—stuck in a season of waiting, wondering if God hears us. The tension of the unknown can feel heavy. Waiting tests our faith. It stirs doubts. It can make us question God’s timing. But what if waiting isn’t wasted? What if it’s the very space where God does His deepest work? Today, I want to talk about what it really looks like to trust the process—not just conceptually, but in the middle of real life. Whether you’re waiting for healing, direction, provision, or peace, there are four postures that have helped me stay grounded in the wait.   1. Position Yourself with Expectancy   Habakkuk said, “I will climb to my watchtower and wait to see what the Lord says” (Habakkuk 2:1). He intentionally pulled away from the noise and made space to listen. That’s what positioning ourselves looks like—it’s setting our hearts in expectancy, even when everything feels silent. Just like Zacchaeus climbing a tree to see Jesus, sometimes faith means doing the small, intentional thing to prepare for a big encounter. “Just as a seed takes time to break through the soil before it bears fruit, God’s work in our lives is often unseen before

I Choose Today to Be a Remnant (Remnant Series – Part 1)

I’ve been sitting with this word for a while now: remnant. It’s not a trendy word. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t shout for attention. But it’s faithful. Quietly, courageously faithful. In Scripture, a remnant is the group of people who remain loyal to God when everyone else walks away. They’re the ones who still say yes when compromise is easier. They’re not perfect—but they’re willing. They’re not many—but they’re deeply known by God. From the earliest pages of the Bible to the final chapters of Revelation, God has always preserved a remnant. When the world was drenched in wickedness, Noah found favor. When Elijah thought he was the only one left, God reminded him of the 7,000 who had not bowed to Baal. When Israel was exiled, a remnant returned and rebuilt. Even Isaiah spoke of this kind of faithfulness when he wrote, “In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return… to the Mighty God” (Isaiah 10:20–21). The remnant are those who stop relying on the world for strength and return

I Choose Today to Encourage

Social media is at the forefront of life. It’s where we shop, gather news, communicate, network, promote… the list goes on. Like everything else, it can be used for good or evil. Since launching the podcast, I’ve found myself more active on social platforms. When I post, I usually choose a quote from either the blog or the podcast—something encouraging for whoever might stumble upon it. I only get a second (maybe less) to make an impact. So I choose my quotes wisely. And then I started thinking… If someone were scrolling through the words I speak in a day, what would the quote of the day be? Would it lift someone up or tear them down? Would it stop them in their tracks with hope or heap more heaviness onto their hearts? The Bible tells us what our “quotes” should sound like. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:11: “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” This was the very first verse I clung to when I started this I Choose Today journey—because that is my heart: to encourage. If you’ve listened to Episode 2 of the podcast, I Choose Today to

I Choose Today to Trust the Power of the In-Between The Ordinary Series – Part 6

As believers, when it comes to Easter, we focus on Good Friday, when Jesus died for the sins of the world, and Easter Sunday, when He rose from the grave to defeat death once and for all. Both of these days deserve every ounce of our awe and celebration. They are the visible markers of love and victory—the cross where the price was paid and the empty tomb where death was disarmed. But what about the day in-between? What about Saturday? That ordinary, quiet, grief-stricken day between the heartbreak and the miracle. The day when heaven seemed silent and hope felt buried. The day most of us skip over… but shouldn’t. Because even though it looked like nothing was happening, everything was already in motion. Scripture gives us a glimpse behind the veil: “He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, He went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits…” —1 Peter 3:18–19 Jesus didn’t wait for Sunday to start moving. He didn’t rest in death. He descended into the very den of death itself—and declared victory. To the author of death. To the powers of darkness. To the realm

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
