Seven years ago, in 2019, I felt the Lord whisper something to my heart:
“You will write a book and a ministry will be born from it.”
At the time, I had no roadmap. No publishing plan. No strategy deck. Just a quiet nudge and a simple invitation to obey. And so I did the only thing I knew how to do — I started saying yes.
Yes to early mornings. Yes to writing when no one was reading. Yes to refining and rewriting. Yes to surrender when I didn’t see the full picture.
This last year, especially, has been one of the hardest of my life. There were moments I questioned myself. Moments I wondered if I had heard God clearly. Moments that felt like pruning more than progress.
But here’s what I’m seeing now: God was constructing something far beyond what I could see.
It’s not just the book or a ministry. It’s a message from my heart born from lived experience.
The Heart Behind A Pace of Grace
A Pace of Grace: Steady Your Spirit When Life Gets Messy was not written from a place of having it all figured out but written in that messy middle. In the tension between a full calendar and a worn out spirit. Knowing there is more to this life in Christ than what I was living. It was written in the wrestling of identity and in the quiet spaces where God gently reminds us who we are.
This book is:
• Rooted identity — knowing you are a daughter before you are anything else
• Stillness in a noisy world
• Letting go of hustle and embracing grace
• Finding joy in ordinary moments
• Choosing obedience when the outcome is unclear
• Building real, life-giving community
It is an invitation to slow down enough to hear God’s voice. It is trading anxiety for God’s steadiness.
It is a place to focus on Jesus’ pace that’s shaped by grace instead of cultural pressures. And it’s a reminder to remember that messy seasons are not wasted ones.
The Obedience Before the Outcome
What excites me most this week isn’t that a book is releasing, it’s that God continues to keep His promises.
A vision He gave me in 2019, is finally coming to fruition. 7 years later… And through it all, He sustained me. Through seasons of uncertainty, He sustained me. He refined the message through real life — through motherhood, ministry shifts, disappointment, healing, and joy.
I did not muscle this message into existence. I showed up when I didn’t think I had it in me. I listened. I followed. I surrendered. I obeyed. And He built it!
When I didn’t know how it would come together, He told me the next thing. When I had no idea what to write, I would hear the gentle nudge of “write that down”. I’m in awe of how He used me in this. A simple yes — That alone feels like a miracle.
My Prayer for You
If you are in a season that feels messy…
If you feel stretched thin but still know you are called…
If you are tired of striving and ready to breathe again…
This book is for you.
My prayer is that when you hold these pages, you feel seen.
That your shoulders relax.
That your spirit steadies.
That you are reminded you are rooted in Christ — and from that place, you can radiate His beauty.
A Pace of Grace releases Tuesday, and I could not be more grateful for the journey that brought it here.
