I know I just emailed you yesterday. But this feels incredibly important because, goodness gracious, life can show up so very hard, can’t it? As in, “curled up in a ball in the middle of the night just ready to give up on it all,” devastatingly and painfully hard.

I’ve had years when I felt like I was face down in the dirt by this time, barely crawling across the finish line – beat down and bloodied, so very brokenhearted over what the year had held. And then there have been years like this one, where I read back over my gratitude journal and sit in awe of the abundance of unexpected beauty and the kind evidence of healing. All of which leaves me thinking, “I’m so glad I made it through that year so I could see this year. I’m so glad I made it through those days so I could see these days.”

I don’t know what 2025 was like for you. Parts of it might have felt like pure hell. I want you to know I’m so glad you’re still here. I’m so glad you kept going. I’m so glad you persevered. I also want you to know that messy perseverance counts. Maybe you’re proud of yourself, too, or maybe you’re disappointed in how you handled everything. Failing and falling, cursing and weeping, stopping and starting over and over again, only to finally crawl across the finish line? It counts.

And I’m praying you see days when you can say it, too. That you’re so glad you made it through “that” year so that you could see a new year. That you’re so glad you made it through “that” excruciating season so that you could know the abundance of a new season. That you’re so glad you made it through that day so that you could see the goodness of this day.

Keep going, friend. Keep trusting Jesus and choosing His ways. I can’t promise you everything will work out how you want or when you want. But I can promise you this… God’s goodness and faithfulness haven’t run out. He will see you through. And where He calls you to press on and persevere – in a relationship, with a job or a calling, with challenges and just life itself – there will be good on the other side of perseverance and obedience. He is a Redeemer, a Restorer, a Healer, our Helper. Cry out to Him. Be wildly honest with Him. Ask for His wisdom and sustaining grace.

Where you find yourself barely crawling today, I pray you’ll find yourself standing, dancing, running in your tomorrows. Where you have sown in tears, I pray you reap in joy. I pray this new year is filled with unexpected beauty, evidence of healing, and tender shoots of hope. I pray that when the days and the nights feel long, and you’re tempted to quit it all, you’ll trust that there truly will be a day ahead when you’re so glad you didn’t give up.

Keep going, friend. I’m praying for you and cheering you on. And with Jesus by your side, you’ll never walk alone.

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!” Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJV)

“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!” Psalm 30:11-12 (ESV)

“I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1-2 (ESV)

Love in Christ,
Kimberly

We struggle as human beings with not knowing what the days ahead may hold. We worry about what pain, trials, loss, and sorrows might be lurking just around the corner. Because the nature of life in a broken, fallen, sin-sick world is that life will hold those things.

Yet, no matter what the days ahead may hold, the Lord reminds us of what we need to keep holding to.

Hebrews 10:23 instructs, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hopewithout wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” And Hebrews 3:14, “For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firmto the end.” Luke 8:15, “As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fastin an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.” And 1 Corinthians 15:1-2, “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the wordI preached to you—unless you believed in vain.”

Will this new year hold hard things? Without a doubt. But we must continue to hold fast to the confidence we first placed in the gospel and in Jesus Christ. We can hold tightly to His Word. Why? Because He is still faithful and true. Our hope has not changed because He never changes. We don’t have to live chained in fear to the what-ifs crowding our hearts and minds.

We see this truth in a beautiful Old Testament passage:

Zechariah 9:9-12 –
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is he,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
and he shall speak peace to the nations;
his rule shall be from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
today I declare that I will restore to you double.”

And it’s that phrase “prisoners of hope” I can’t shake. So many days, I feel more like a prisoner of fear than one held tightly by hope. I build strong towers around my heart instead of trusting Him to be my stronghold. But this passage gives us the reason for our hope – our mighty and faithful King! Jesus, who humbly came and died for us, setting us free from slavery to death, sin, and fear.

We can face the days ahead as prisoners of hope – those who are HELD FAST by the hope we’re holding fast to. Not hope placed in anything we can do, but hope in who Christ is and what He can do and still does. He still uses trials and difficulties to strengthen, sanctify, and mature us. He still redeems and works all things together for good (Romans 5:3-5; James 1:2-4; Romans 8:28-30). He still lifts souls out of waterless pits and puts His living water within them (Zechariah 9:11, Psalm 40:1-3; John 7:38). He still breathes life into dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14). He still turns hearts of stone into hearts of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). He still offers forgiveness and restores joy (Psalm 51:7-12). He still brings life where there was death, making us new creations from the inside out (Ephesians 2:1-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17). He still does exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond what we can even ask, hope, or think according to His power at work in us and those we love (Ephesians 3:20). We are still saved by His blood, sealed by His Spirit, and held fast by His love.

Do you feel more like a prisoner of fear or a prisoner of hope right now? Ask the Lord to lead you to words in His Word to cling to. Ask Him to help you remember the confidence you first placed in Him and to remind you that He has not changed! Ask Him to let the hard times that leave you tempted to feel cynical and jaded cause you to become more deeply rooted instead.

May we hold unswervingly to the hope we have in Him, for He is unfailingly good, unfathomably wise, and unendingly faithful and true. And may we let His sure and steady hope hold firmly on to us as it surrounds us, grounds us, guards us, and guides us.

Happy New Year, friends,
Kimberly

When I bring a prayer request to God, I typically already have an answer and plan in mind. I also have a timeline for when I would prefer said plans and answers to play out. Which would be – immediately.

I want His answers to make sense to me, feel good to me, and, of course, happen quite quickly. But as I’ve been reflecting on Christmas and God’s answer of “Jesus” to mankind’s need for rescue, I’m seeing yet again how much I struggle with being wise in my own eyes.

Isaiah 9:6-7 reads,
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.”

And it’s that very first line that gets me.

Who sends a child to rescue captives? Who offers a baby when the chaos of the world demands the right-now strong hand of a conquering king?

Our good and wise God does, that’s who.

His people longed for a mighty man of great renown. “Send rescue now! Just give us a strong political leader, a king of our choosing, who will set things right!” But God gave a better gift than they even knew to ask for. He sent a child who would grow to be a suffering servant. He sent His Son to save them, not immediately, but for all of eternity. A King born to die so that all who come to know Him might live.

His answer would arrive at the right time and unfold over time. A helpless babe sent to a world desperately in need of help. His newborn cries, the perfect answer to mankind’s cries for deliverance.

And this reminder to stop looking for answers that align with my reasoning gives me hope. When life feels hard, when relief and rescue don’t seem to be coming fast enough, when it looks like God isn’t answering our prayers as we hoped… we can trust He is doing infinitely more than we could ever ask, hope, or imagine.

God knows what He’s doing. We can trust how He’s moving. He sees us, hears us, and loves us, and one day, His Son will return to fully and completely rescue us.

Until then, we keep bringing Him our prayers. We keep waiting on Him with hope. Because this is who rules and reigns. The One whose shoulders bore the weight of the cross? We can trust Him to carry every one of our cares. He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Ever learning to trust Him more,
Kimberly

There’s a running joke in my house about how if it’s hand-wash-only—clothes or dishes—I don’t want it. Who has the time?

But as I went about cleaning a new pan I recently purchased in hot sudsy water, one that I love and do not want to damage, I got to thinking about how we don’t mind the extra time and effort if we truly care about something, which soon turned my thoughts toward Jesus.

Jesus on His hands and knees.
Jesus bent low to wash His disciples’ feet.
Jesus, demonstrating servant-leadership, humility, and love.
Jesus, helping us see that human beings? We’re all “hand wash only.”

We can want people to change and clean up quickly—as if we can toss them into some washing machine for the human soul—with little to no effort on our part and definitely with no intimate, messy contact. But Jesus never demonstrated an easy, distant method. He calls us to love and serve from a place of closeness and humility. He calls us to honor and give tender care. He calls us to get up close and personal, no matter how dirty—to touch with our own hands and give of our own time as we live lives that point others to Him, the One who willingly heals and cleanses and makes sins like scarlet as white as snow.

There’s no production line. There’s no fast track. Meaning that if we truly care about the well-being of others, about their very souls, we will have to bend low. We’ll humbly love like Jesus. His hands, the hands that formed us, came and fed us. Broke bread for us and touched the leprous. Washed filth-caked feet and were ultimately pierced for us.

Philippians 2:3-8 spells this out so beautifully for us as the Apostle Paul describes Jesus and calls us to be like Him, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

Oh, how I need His help in living and loving more like this. I confess that I don’t want the messiness and needs of others to cost me too much. Quite honestly, I just want people to be easier—less fuss and inconvenience, you know? Yet Christ continually gets up close and personal with my most shameful of messes. He shows up and cares for me time and again with great grace and compassion—never rushing me, meeting me again and again with fresh mercies as He gently leads me forward on His paths of righteousness.

And so I pray…

Father God, forgive my selfish and self-protecting heart that leads to a life lived with unloving hands. Help me grow in compassion, making me more and more aware of what I am doing with my hands. Our hands are one of our chief tools for sinning against You and others. But instead of letting them be weapons for wounding or instruments aiding in my areas of idolatry, help me use my hands like You, Jesus. Help me take the time to tangibly love and serve others. Instead of constantly clinging to distractions, such as mindlessly scrolling or carelessly spending, let my hands be found moving in ways that are faithful, helpful, holy, and good. Convict me of where my hands and even my time are not being used in ways that honor You. Lead me to those around me who need a little extra care. Remind me that You ran toward me, and You still take Your time with me. Help me refuse to avoid those who feel extra hard to love. Help me remember every human heart is “hand wash only.” Amen.

As we move quickly toward the end of this year, may we ask the Lord to do a new work in us and to work through us. How can you use your hands to bless someone else in a tangible way today? Know that I’m over here, prayerfully asking the same question.

Blessings, friends,
Kimberly

There’s a quote from “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” that keeps coming to mind.  It’s from a moment when a reluctant king refuses to acknowledge and address the enemy presence marching through his lands.

“Théoden: I will not risk open war.

Aragorn: Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.”

I confess I can be much like Théoden. Fearful that if I openly oppose the enemy, things will only get worse. Because honestly? They might.

The enemy doesn’t want to give up the ground he has gained in our lives – in our marriages, in our parenting, in our callings. He has come to steal, kill, and destroy. And he doesn’t like it when we’re on to him.

Why am I sharing all of this?

Because maybe you’ve been afraid to risk open war. But open war is already upon us, dear friends. We are in a spiritual battle. Ignoring it won’t make it better. Pretending it doesn’t exist won’t make any of it go away. And Satan will never be satisfied with just small corners of our hearts and lives. He wants it all.

What if today could be the waking up of warriors? What if we ask the Lord to equip us to fight in His strength instead of backing down? We are already fighting on the side of victory. We serve a conquering King, seated on His throne, and abundant life in Him is worth the fight.

Where am I specifically doing battle right now?

I’ve invited a group of women to fast with me over marriages. My heart is broken over how many women I know who are hurting because their marriage is falling apart, because their adult children are in marriages on the brink of divorce, because their husband isn’t a spiritual leader, or their spouse isn’t a believer.

And I have hesitated to say anything here. Fasting isn’t something to be taken lightly or to be boasted about. But I just keep thinking about you. What if you’re struggling? What if you’re hurting? What if you’ve lost hope? What if you need to know you aren’t praying alone and that others are fighting with you and for you in prayer? What if joining this fast shifts something in your heart and life?

So here I am. Sharing.

You can find two PDFS to download below. These are the first two emails I sent out to the ladies I’m fasting and praying with. If you decide to join us, your details and info won’t be shared with anyone else. You’ll simply receive an email from me every week for the next 5 weeks as we fast every Wednesday. Email me at [email protected] to let me know you want to receive the weekly prayer guides. (You emailing me first keeps me from going to your spam folder.)

Here to fight with and for you, friends,
Kimberly

Fasting Basics
Fasting Email Day 1

As a woman who walked away from the Lord for years and years of my life, I know, believe in, and have experienced His power to reach broken, lost, and wandering hearts. (You can read more about my personal testimony here and here.) I also wanted to share this prayer for those who are longing for loved ones to turn back to Jesus. As one of the ones the Good Shepherd had to come after, I can assure you… He loves them, He sees them, He’s pursuing them.

Father God, I’m not sure that there is anything more heartbreaking for a parent than to see your children walk away from the Lord … for them to deny the truth of You and completely turn their back on You. It is so easy to get weary in the waiting, especially when there have been years upon years of praying. But instead of losing hope today, we stop and remind ourselves of who You are.

You are the God who leans in close and listens to our prayers. The God who loves our children and is pursuing them with a fierce and mighty love. The God who now and forever does not desire that one person perish without You, but instead patiently pursues every heart, calling all to a place of repentance. And so we pray for them once again today – for the lost to be found, for the prodigals to turn back home, and for the ones who have never wanted a thing to do with You, to have the scales fall from their eyes.

For You are the Shepherd willing to leave the many to go after even one lost sheep. You see where our wanderers are. You know how to reach every wounded, confused, or rebellious heart. You are a Rescuer, through and through. Oh, Lord, we pray that they would recognize how lost they are and cry out to You. Protect them from themselves and from those who would prey upon them. Bring them safely back home to You. May they see there is no greener grass or better care than there is with You. And where they perhaps left because of wounding from other sheep, heal them. Help them look to YOU as their Shepherd, not letting the foolishness, humanness, and sadly, even meanness of others keep them from the goodness of You.

You are the Father, watching and waiting. Willing to welcome the wanderers and the squanderers back home. Ready to surround them with Your love and celebrate their return. Oh, Lord, we pray that they will recognize all they have walked away from in You. That they will see You for who You truly are. That they will know the truth of Your mercy and grace, Your love and kindness. That they will know it’s not too late! They are still welcome in Your presence, welcome at Your table, and welcome in Your arms. May anything and everything they are chasing after other than You leave them empty and dissatisfied. May they turn back around and find fullness and hope in You.

You are the God who stopped Saul in his tracks, removed the scales from his eyes, and turned him completely around. You took a man who lived in opposition to You and let him run hard up against the truth of You – leaving him utterly undone and then You put him back together again. You transformed Saul, who fought against You, into Paul, who lived fully for You. The one who breathed murderous threats against Christians became one who wrote words of life to them. What a miracle-working God You are! Oh Lord, let our children encounter You in ways they cannot deny. Put them face-to-face with the truth of who You are and the greatness of Your love for them. Get in the way of their plans so that they will fully surrender to Your infinitely better ways. May their hearts be broken for truth so their lives don’t have to be destroyed by lies. We’re praying for their eyes to be opened, for their hearts to be softened, and for them to surrender to the hope found in You.

Stop them in their tracks, Lord. Every single one of them. Place truth-speakers in their lives who will love them and point them back towards home. Let them know it’s not too late. Let them know that You’ll come running with arms wide open. All they have to do is turn back around. All they have to do is take that first step. All they have to do is call upon Your name.

Keep reminding us that we can trust You are working in ways we cannot see. You loved them first. And You will pursue them to the end. Fill us with hope and strength in the waiting. And move with fierce love in the hearts and lives of those we long to see come back to You. There is no heart too far gone for You to reach, no soul too lost for You to find. Thank You for all of the ways You are actively pursuing them today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

{Psalm 116:1-2; Luke 15; Luke 19:10; Acts 9:1-19; 2 Peter 3:9}

Finishing up my morning walk and meditating on the fact that we have lived 19 years now in our home. I can’t locate in my nearing-50-quickly brain what color our door was before my husband agreed to us painting it Showstopper Red. I remember brushing on the brilliant color and thinking about the people of God covering their doorposts with the blood of a lamb – a declaration in Egypt that they belonged to the Lord and were covered by Him. I am so grateful we are His, as well.

But what was really on my mind was the 19 years I’ve walked the same cul-de-sac behind our home. Years of circling that small space while pushing strollers and carrying burdens and lifting praises and surrendering fears and listening to books and music and Scripture. Walks where my heart felt light and alive, and walks when it took everything in me to put one foot in front of the other. Walks where all of me felt radiant with the fullness of God, and walks where I prayed my neighbors wouldn’t notice the evidence of weeping.

And as I walked the same old familiar path recently, a morning without earbuds or distraction, my mind firmly fixed on tuning in to the voice of the Lord, He dropped these words into my heart:

You’ve never walked alone, and you never will.

Oh, how comforting and true these words are. In all that these 19 years have held, in all that has felt hellish and all that has felt hopeful and holy, He has been with me. Even when I couldn’t see Him then, I can look back now and see evidence of His goodness and withness. And He wants us to know that His goodness and His withness? They are more than enough.

So I am not praying that He’ll be with you today, because I already know He is. What I’m praying instead is that you will notice His withness. Lean into His withness. Let Him be your strength and your courage when you aren’t sure you can go on.

You have never walked alone, and you never will.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

“I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!” Psam 27:13-14

In all that you are walking through, friends, I pray you sense His presence keenly.

Kimberly

One of the miracles we find multiple times in Scripture is Jesus healing the blind. Eyes opened. Sight restored and sharpened – like in Mark 8:22-25, where the healing is a process. Jesus spits on a blind man’s eyes and lays His hands on him, then asks him if he can see. At first, this man only sees people walking around like trees. Jesus lays His hands on the man again, and he sees everything clearly.

Isn’t this the story of our spiritual lives? Jesus is still healing blind eyes. He’s still restoring and clearing up our sight. We don’t have 20/20 vision when we are first saved. Honestly, it’s over a lifetime of abiding in Him, studying His Word, listening to His Spirit, and growing with other believers that our vision is continually being healed. And even in that process, we are still those who must walk by faith and not by sight, as there are things we will never fully grasp this side of eternity. Our walk with Him is one of faith, hope, and trust.

Why does all of this matter today?

Because you and I need to be aware that we STILL don’t see everything with absolute clarity. That our eyes are still in need of healing. We, as those who have received Christ as Savior, once were blind, and now we see, but we’re still in the process of seeing clearly. Truth that should cause us to live and walk with humility. Because our lack of visual acuity can lead to discouragement, despair, falls and failings, misunderstandings, poor choices, treating others as less than image bearers, … the list can go on and on. We need to keep seeking Him and asking Him to heal our vision. We need Him to make us aware of the places where we are not viewing people, circumstances, Him, or even ourselves rightly. We need to ask Him in moments of confusion or frustration, “What am I not seeing rightly about this, Lord?”

If there’s further healing to be had, better sight that could be ours, shouldn’t we want it? And so we simply pray:

Jesus, I need You to continue healing my eyes.
Help me see You more clearly.
Help me see others more clearly, both those I struggle with and those I love dearly.
Help me see these circumstances more clearly.
Help me see Your Word more clearly.
Help me see what is going on in this world – in realms both natural and spiritual – more clearly.
Help me see myself more clearly.
Heal my eyes. Bring clarity to my vision – through Your Word, by Your Spirit, using whatever means You see fit to keep working miracles in my life.
And where I cannot see, help me listen for Your voice, take Your hand, and follow Your lead, walking by faith and not by sight. Amen.

These are only a few suggestions on how we can pray today. Where else do you need Him to heal your spiritual eyes?

I once was blind, but now I see, and I’m still in the process of seeing things clearly.

We all are.

Love and prayers, dear friends,
Kimberly

It’s one of the enemy’s favorite lies – that our sins will never find us out. That lie, along with the one that we can meditate on whatever we want to with no ramifications. It’s our brain, right? No one knows what we’re thinking. It’s no one’s business what’s going on in the inner workings of our hearts and minds.

And so we allow lustful thoughts to linger. We let anger simmer and relish plots of revenge. We befriend bitterness and openly entertain offense. We internally exalt ourselves and belittle others.

But just ask David how well secret sins stay hidden. David, who looked on Bathsheba, let his thoughts linger on what it would be like to have her, only to act on those thoughts and have the cascading and devastating results that led to a dead husband and a dead child and the Lord using the prophet Nathan to call him out.

What happened in David’s head didn’t stay in his head.

What happened in the palace didn’t stay in the palace.

And ask anyone whose life has been ruined by the likes of gambling, adultery, addiction, or giving in to whatever happens to be your sinful whim if “what happens in Vegas” actually stays in Vegas as the commercials promise. We cannot hide from the consequences of our sins. We cannot believe the lie that our actions don’t impact anyone else. And we cannot live like what we meditate on won’t ever seep out into our actions. Seeds sown in secret places still reap a harvest.

It’s one of the reasons I love Psalm 51, a psalm written by David after he had been outed by Nathan. A psalm of true repentance. A psalm we would do well to listen to, as David certainly knows what he is talking about when it comes to wallowing in our sin and needing forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. I have been specifically sitting with Psalm 51:6, “Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.”

We need truth and wisdom in the deepest parts of us – in the thoughts no one else knows, in every crack and crevice of our soul, in the very marrow of our bones. Just as we need healthy blood flow to every part of our bodies, we need a healthy TRUTH FLOW to every corner of our minds and lives.

What have you been entertaining that, quite honestly, isn’t going to stay put? What have you been nursing and befriending that will eventually eat you and those you love alive? Oh, friend… take every thought to Jesus! He won’t shame you. Hebrews 4:15-16 tells us, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” He’ll help you take each thought captive and make them obedient to Him. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

Tell Him the truth. The full, unedited truth. He’s not shocked by you. He’s not done with you. He wants to help and heal you. And He has truth and wisdom He wants to give to you. Truth and wisdom He knows you need in your secret heart, your innermost being.

Do. Not. Buy. The. Lies. What happens in hidden places does not stay in hidden places. What happens in your head will not stay in your head. Let wisdom guard and protect you. Let truth offer you true joy and freedom. The Lord loves us, and what He wants for us is always, always what is best for us. And please don’t read this post for her or him or them. This is for US. For you. For me. WE all need to ask Jesus to speak to us deep within.

Jesus, help me to know truth in my inward being. Teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

Your sister in seeking wisdom and truth,
Kimberly
