Abba. It's Aramaic. It's what a small child calls their dad. The closest English equivalent is daddy. Most translators won't print it that way because it sounds too informal. God wrote it that way on purpose. The Holy Spirit He gave you doesn't keep you at arm's length. He's the one who lets a kid climb into a lap she didn't have to earn. If you've never had that with God, this is the week to start.

Daughter is a position. Not a feeling. Feelings come and go. Some mornings you'll wake up and feel chosen. Some mornings you'll wake up and feel forgotten. But on both mornings, your position with God hasn't moved an inch.The spirit of adoption is legal language. Romans 8 calls it sonship and daughtership. It's not how you feel. It's who you are when you don't feel anything at all. Walk through the day on the position. The feelings will catch up.

People ask me how CORE started.

It started in my own life.

I was a daughter, a wife, a pastor’s wife, a mother, all of it. And still, most days, I felt invisible. Like Elijah under that tree. Tired. Wanting to hide and wondering if my, wonderingver.

I didn’t know God could see the parts of me I’d hidden from everyone, including myself.

But He met me in that low place. And when He began to name those parts of me? Everything shifted.

I realized I wasn’t alone. There were women everywhere carrying the same silence. The same exhaustion after the breakthrough. The same “I’ve been through so much, why do I still feel like this?”

That’s what the enemy does, he tries to get you to stay down right when God is calling you to arise.

CORE is for the woman who has been knocked down but is not destroyed.
The one who’s been isolated, silenced, drained, but there’s still oil on her life.
The one God is looking at right now, saying, “Daughter… get up from that place.”

If that’s your comment, “seen.”

I read every single one. 👀

✨Restoration in April
To the woman who keeps asking God “why”…
Can I offer you a different question today?
What if instead of “why is this happening to me,” you asked “how can God use this to shape me?”
That one shift changes everything.
Hard seasons aren’t signs that God forgot you. They’re where He forms you. We grow the most in the worst times. There are things He shows you in the dark that you simply can’t find in the light. A deeper faith. A stronger trust. A version of you that couldn’t have been built any other way.
And one day you’ll find yourself standing with your hands wide open. Not because everything is perfect, but because you trust the One who is.
Don’t lose heart. God isn't breaking you down; He’s building you up for a bigger purpose. April is your month. Hold on.

If this spoke to you, drop a 🤍 below and share this with a woman who needs it today. No one was meant to walk this alone.
Follow for weekly encouragement built for women of faith. 🙏

The greatest competition for God in our lives is not sin… it’s the things we refuse to surrender.

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

She doesn't need another event. She needs someone to look her in the eye and tell her who she really is.

Set Apart: The Identity Project is a weekend retreat for young women ages 12-17. We're talking about the real stuff; identity, body image, social media, relationships, faith and we're doing it in a way that's honest, safe, and rooted in scripture.

This isn't a conference. It's a small group. 10 spots. Every girl will be known, not just counted.

Moms join Saturday for a mother-daughter experience that will change the way you talk to each other.

June 12-14 2026
$200 (includes lodging, meals, journal, and all materials)

“God did not break you, Teresa, He pruned you! What the enemy meant to crush you only positioned you for increase. God removed what could not hold the weight of your calling. You are stepping into the fullness of your name, your identity, and your God-given purpose.”

✨This morning my husband and I went to church believing we were going to minister to the people through the Holy Spirit and the power of God. But instead, the Holy Spirit ministered to us. We wept in His presence and rejoiced in His glory.

Today was truly special. The church we spoke at is a praying church intercessors who gather faithfully, inviting the presence and power of God to move. You could feel His presence the moment you walked into the room. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that prayer is the heartbeat of this house.

We are honored both my husband and I to have been received with such love. Thank you, Pastor René and Pastora Martha, for hosting us, for embracing us, and most importantly, for hosting the Holy Spirit so faithfully. It is evident, and because of it, our lives will never be the same.🙌🏽🙏🏽❣️
