Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Your calendar is full.Your mind won't slow down.Everyone needs something from you.And somewhere along the way...you stopped taking care of you. I've been there. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is this: Overwhelm isn't always a sign that you're doing too little. More often, it's a sign that you're carrying too much. God never asked us to carry everything. He invites us to bring our burdens to Him. When...

Happy Friday! Today, we pause to honor Juneteenth — a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the enduring hope of a people who continued to believe in a better future. On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed that they were free. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is precious, justice matters, and progress often requires perseverance. For me, Juneteenth is also a time of...
