I used to say "walk by faith" freely, until 2025 taught me I didn't really know what it meant. This is a story about a messy closet, a nervous conversation with a stranger, and the moment I realized I'd been obeying God halfway and calling it faith. Partial obedience feels like obedience. It isn't. Here's what God showed me about the difference, and why it mattered more than I wanted to admit.

What does it look like to truly listen for God's voice, guard your mind with truth, and surrender your life daily to His will? In this post, I share a nerve-wracking moment of choosing obedience over fear, what I have learned about armoring up against lies, and how my word for the year, Surrender, has drawn me closer to God, my family, and myself. Learning to listen and obey has changed everything.
