Redbay water park: as of right now we are still planning on going to the water park in Redbay Alabama Saturday. We will continue to monitor the weather and we will post an update if anything changes and will try to get that out as soon as possible.

Today our church led by our outreach team had the privilege of serving lunch to our first responders. Thank you all for all that you do and how you serve our community.

You can love Jesus…

and still be healing.

Still struggling.
Still asking questions.
Still carrying scars from things you wish never happened.

You can have tattoos.
A messy past.
Church hurt.
Anxiety.
Doubts you don’t always say out loud.

And none of that changes the fact that God loves you.

Some people make faith look like perfection.

Like you have to have the right clothes.
The right words.
The perfect testimony.
The perfect family.
The perfect life.

But Jesus never waited for people to clean themselves up before He loved them.

He met them in the middle of the mess.

At the well.
In the crowd.
In the shame.
In the failure.
In the brokenness.

And He still does.

So if you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the image of what a Christian is “supposed” to look like…

This is your reminder:

God isn’t looking at your tattoos.
Your mistakes.
Your failures.
Or the chapters you’re ashamed of.

He’s looking at your heart.

And the beautiful thing about grace is that it’s for people who are still becoming.

Not people who already arrived.

Come as you are.

Not because you’ll stay that way forever…

But because God’s love is what changes people in the first place. 🤍

Nobody talks about the guilt.

The guilt of wanting to read your Bible more.
The guilt of starting a devotional and not finishing it.
The guilt of falling asleep during prayer because you’re exhausted.
The guilt of hearing other people talk about their quiet mornings while you’re just trying to drink your coffee before someone needs you.

Some days I don’t have an hour of uninterrupted silence.

Some days my Bible study is one verse I cling to while making breakfast.

Some days my prayer sounds more like, “Jesus, help me make it through today.”

And for a long time, I thought that wasn’t enough.
But I’ve learned something:

God is not waiting around disappointed because motherhood doesn’t leave me with endless free time.

He sees the diapers.
He sees the dishes.
He sees the midnight wakeups.
He sees the lunches packed, the tears wiped, the tantrums navigated, the endless sacrifices nobody applauds.

He sees every act of love given to the little souls He trusted me with.

No, serving your family doesn’t replace spending time with God.
But if you’re in a season where you’re doing the best you can with the little time and energy you have, please hear me:

God is not keeping score.
He knows your heart.
He knows you’re tired.
He knows you’re trying.

And the same God who meets people in church pews and quiet prayer closets is fully capable of meeting a mother in a messy kitchen, surrounded by laundry, holding a baby on her hip.

Maybe you’re not failing spiritually.

Maybe you’re just in a season where faith looks less like perfection and more like faithfully loving the people God placed right in front of you.
Maybe Motherhood is your ministry right now.
Momma, God sees you. 🤍

If you’ve ever opened your Bible trying to spend time with God…
and before you even read a chapter, the tears started falling…
this is for you.

Not the polite tears you can blink away.
The kind that catch you off guard.
The kind that come from somewhere deeper than words.
Don’t apologize for them.
Don’t rush to pull yourself together.
Don’t convince yourself you’re being dramatic.

Because sometimes tears are what happen when a weary soul finally stops pretending it’s okay.

When the walls come down.
When the pressure lifts.
When your heart realizes it’s finally safe.
God isn’t uncomfortable with your emotions.

He isn’t frustrated by your questions.
He isn’t waiting for you to stop crying before He comes near.
He’s already there.
In the grief you never processed.

The prayers you’ve prayed a thousand times.
The disappointment you don’t talk about.
The exhaustion you’ve been carrying while telling everyone you’re “fine.”

Sometimes God speaks through Scripture.
Sometimes through silence.
And sometimes through tears that say everything you’ve been unable to put into words.
So if you’re sitting with Him and your eyes fill up…
stay there.
Don’t rush the moment.
Don’t numb it.
Don’t run from it.
Because healing doesn’t always sound like a breakthrough.
Sometimes it sounds like quiet worship and a heart finally letting go.
And those tears?
They might be the first sign that God is healing something you’ve been carrying for far too long. 🤍

“Be not afraid.” Not because life is predictable. Not because storms won’t come. Not because pain, loss, or uncertainty will suddenly disappear. Be not afraid because your security was never meant to come from control, but from presence.

Over and over in Scripture, God doesn’t promise a life free from hardship. But He does promise He'll be with you in the midst of the hard times: "I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Fear grows when we believe everything rests on us - our ability to fix, prevent, or to hold things together. But faith shifts this weight. It recognizes that even when life feels unstable, God isn't. His character doesn’t change with circumstances. His plans aren’t disrupted by what surprises us. His nearness doesn’t withdraw in the middle of our hardest moments.

"Be not afraid” isn’t a denial of reality - it’s a reorientation within it. The storm may rage. The future may be unclear. But we’re not facing it alone. When God is present, fear no longer gets the final word.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38–39

Christians aren’t perfect people pretending we have life figured out.

We’re people who know what it feels like to be empty.
To make mistakes we regret.
To carry shame quietly.
To search for peace in places that could never give it.
To smile on the outside while hurting on the inside.

We know what it’s like to need grace.
To need mercy.
To need a fresh start we couldn’t earn for ourselves.

So no, we’re not standing here saying we’re better than anyone.
We’re standing here saying we were rescued.

We’re not pointing to our goodness.
We’re pointing to God’s goodness.
We’re not talking about perfection.
We’re talking about forgiveness.
We’re not saying we never fell.
We’re saying He picked us back up.

Christianity was never about a bunch of flawless people judging the broken.
It’s a bunch of broken people telling other broken people where healing can be found.

Because if He could save us…
He can save anybody.
