I wanted to share some exciting news with you! 🎉 I've had the beautiful honor of contributing to a brand-new devotional from Proverbs 31 Ministries called: Let In the Light: 50 Devotions to Confidently Know God Is Good and Guiding Your Steps. Releasing TODAY, October 28, 2025!

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that God’s light is still shining, this book was written for you.
.
I can’t wait for you to read these devotions and let a little more of His light into your days! 🔆
