I would love to be a place of refreshment & encouragement for you!!
My heart is for Christian Moms, the every day leaders,
who are exhausted behind their smile,
create space for peace and grace in their Heart & Home
without fear of rejection or judgment.
This is Where Faith Is.
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Cor 4:16-18
This is a Space for Grace.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Cor 12:9
Wonder who I am?!? Just A Girl who loves
sharing God's Hearts.
Here's a bit about me...
Hi! I'm Michele, the Shy-ish Introvert. You're gonna see a lot of hearts around my world and there's a beautiful story about these Hearts From God.
Here's the basic run down of who I am so you can quickly decide if you wanna hang out cuz let's be honest...Introverts only have so much energy.
I am all about Jesus, Coffee, Sisterhood, Chocolate and Grace, lots of Grace, and a little bit of goofy!
After living MOST of my life anxious and insecure, it is with JOY I proclaim I don't anymore and
I don't want YOU to either!!
We are FREE INDEED!!!
For years, I felt weak and helpless: physically, emotionally and spiritually. I was drowning in the deep waters of fearing what I could not see.
I became the Queen Of What If.
I hustled daily to meet the assumed expectations of what I thought a Life of Faith was supposed to look like, hustling to prove myself "enough" and striving for what it meant to honor God and live a life of meaning. It was exhausting work smiling when I felt like crying. Those would be the secret tears caught in sacred moments with Christ alone.
The more I fought to be enough, the weaker I felt. The Word told me do not fear, do not be anxious, stand firm, have courage. I knew I should and I hoped I could, but I wasn't.
It took years and years for me to let go of the reigns and the need to control. Faith meant surrender, not self-sabotage and it is my honor to empower you through sharing my journey and resources, my love and encouragement to help you walk through it a little easier, and maybe even avoid some of the same pits and detours I found myself taking.
I asked the Lord to keep His promise to always be my Breath and never let go of me. He has been my
faithful Daily Bread and Living Water, my Peace in the Chaos, my Joy in Despair, My Rock in shifting sands
and a Shield about Me!
I didn't arrive here easily, though. It's been a journey of
many miles.
(It didn't help that I am a little stubborn too.)
Do you struggle with insecurity too?
(So sorry Girl!! But HEY!!!! We can step into courage!!)
That was me....and truthfully, in new seasons,
I still have to face it head on!
I created a resource that I needed back in the day and still use to this day when I enter new season of sharing.
The one thing, one person, we know most about should be ourselves so I want to help you overcome YOU!!
I made a fill in the blank Worksheet to Help You Share your story/testimony! READY!?!?
I've Got You Sista!
Plus, I just added a helpful video Encouragement Session "training" in my Group to help you walk through the worship...I mean worksheet.
Let's find His Glory in Your Story and SHINE!!!!
Grace Upon Grace.
Surrender is Trust.
Trust is Faith.
Faith is Surrender.
Surrender is Grace.
Here's Where You Can Find Some of My Heart Hugs for You...

Before I sign off...
Here are some of God's heart encouragements...
"Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God,
we do not lose heart.
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
2 Corinthians 4:1, 5-9
If you are like me...your heart's desire is to love and honor God in all you do, but life, it's gotten busy, cluttered, exhausting wondering if all that you do is making a difference in the world and some days you even feel invisible or at minimal...robotic and numb. I get it! As a Mom, Wife, Friend and Servant Leader, we spend all day, every day giving and more often than not, we don't sit still long enough in our spirit to refill our Giving Tanks.
The Good News is God Knows our busy. God isn't looking for ways to reward our hustle. He is looking for ways to bless our hearts. We don't have to hustle when we live each day seeking the heart of God, finding our value in His love, not our hustle. Jesus promised us peace not as the world gives, but as He gives through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The enemy knows this too and his mission is to keep us feeling distant from God's heart through busy lifestyles and distracted overwhelmed minds. This is why I began creating helpful resources, places to get organized in heart and home!
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 ESV
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” Psalm 27:14 ESV
“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.” Psalm 63:1-4, 7 ESV
I look forward to Getting to Know YOU!
Hugs & Blessings, Michele
Philippiajns 2:3-4
