This might change how you see your journey


Hey Reader,

I want to start doing something a little different.

Every now and then, I just want to share a quick devotional with you something simple, something real, something that meets you right where you are in your journey with God.

So here goes:

A New Definition of Success

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Romans 12:2

There are moments in this journey where things don’t look the way you expected them to. The progress feels slow. The results aren’t matching the effort. And quietly, a question can begin to rise in your heart… is God going to come through for me?

You know that He is able. He's the God who parted the Red Sea, the One who raised from the dead, the One who saved your soul. You’ve seen His power. You believe in His ability. But the tension isn’t about what He can do… it’s about whether He will do this thing for you.

It’s easy to form expectations around what this journey should look like. Timelines. Outcomes. A version of success shaped by what you’ve seen or hoped for. And when your reality doesn’t match that picture, it can lead to frustration or even distance in your heart toward God.

But God is not just concerned with what you see… He’s concerned with how you see.

He is renewing your mind.

What if success in this season isn’t about things coming together quickly, but about your heart coming into alignment with Him? What if success is not in the results, but in your ability to trust Him, remain with Him, and stay anchored even when things feel uncertain?

There is a deeper work happening in you. One that shifts you from striving to surrender, from needing to understand everything to simply trusting God. As your mind is renewed, your perspective begins to change. You start to see that God has not forgotten you, He has not overlooked you, and He is not withholding from you. He is forming you.

And when your heart comes into agreement with that truth, you’ll find a peace that isn’t dependent on what you see, but rooted in who He is.


P.S. If this spoke to you, I encourage you to listen to the latest episode of the Call Her Profitable Podcast, 3 Mistakes I Made Starting My God-Led Business (And What I’d Do Instead). Spoiler alert, one of the mistakes was misaligning God’s definition of success with my own.

P.S.S. I’m thinking of doing something in May where we come together for 5 days around 6am to pray and surrender our mornings to God. Is this something you would be interested in? If so, respond with YES so I know 💛

Hey Reader, When was the last time you read up on the P31 woman? Now, hear me out. I know in Christian culture she can come off as a cliché, overspoken about or studied, or, on the other end of the spectrum, she seems too far off to duplicate or match up to, so we stay away altogether. (Listen, I found myself on both ends, so you’re not alone). However, the other day I felt myself a bit burnt out and confused. I’ve been striving these past weeks in both life and business; I felt the need to...

Hey Reader, There’s something about July that brings a sense of newness, pace, and expectation. Like the prayers you’ve prayed at the beginning of the year have been sizzling in God’s ear, prepping to meet you in the summer and dramatically change your life right before the colder months roll in (is it just me?). This sense of newness captured me as I begged my husband to allow my daughter and me to become plant moms and get this beautiful hanging porch flower plant (idk if that's what...

Reader, We're officially in June. It's 10:30 pm as I write this. And I can't help but crave an unhurried, unrushed, simpler lifestyle. I'm still fresh off a 16-hour drive from New York to Milwaukee after an extended stay in New York for 2 months. I crammed a week's worth of work into 5 hours, and just finished reading Open the Barn Door for the 18th time (a little exaggeration here) to my baby girl. I am burnt out. As I reflect on what's on my plate, what needs to be taken off, safeguarded,...
