Beautifully Built Briefs

Not every season is filled with sunshine and rainbows. Lately, life has felt progressively more difficult. What's made it even more challenging is that, at the same time, I've received prophetic words about what God is doing and where He's taking me—words that seem completely opposite of what I'm experiencing right now. If I'm honest, it's been confusing. How do you hold on to a promise when your reality doesn't look anything like it? How do you keep believing when the proces

Management isn't freedom

Back in May, I posted that I was experiencing the best and the worst of times all at once. That still hasn’t changed. So many beautiful things are happening in my life. I’m traveling. I’m leading. I’m laughing. I’m smiling. I’m watching prayers be answered and doors open that only God could have opened. And at the same time… I am struggling. I am dying. I am sacrificing. I am suffering. There are parts of me being stretched, pruned, and refined in ways I never expected. Every

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." — Jeremiah 1:5 Over the past two workshops, Beautifully Built have journeyed through the process of discovering God's design for our lives. Identity is not something we create—it is something we discover in Christ. Each session built upon the previous one, moving us from understanding God's plan to identifying our gifts and ultimately gaining clarity about our calling.

One of the most life-changing revelations I've received is that God never intended for us to simply attend church—He intended for us to become active participants in His Kingdom. Every believer has been given gifts by God. These gifts are not rewards for being spiritually mature, nor are they reserved for pastors or ministry leaders. They are divine tools given by God to help us serve others, build His Church, and advance His Kingdom on the earth. The Apostle Paul writes in 1

April 24, 2025. May 8, 2025. July 23, 2025. These are three dates recorded in my dream journal. In each of those dreams, people were speaking to me in Spanish, and I was trying to learn enough Spanish to communicate with them. At the time, I didn't fully understand what God was showing me. I simply documented the dreams and continued moving forward. Last night, I returned from what I can only describe as a dream come true. A year ago, God showed me this mission trip to Guatem

A lesson from Gideon in Judges 6

Mothering with Christ. 🤍 There was a time in my life when I thought I was a great mom because I was successful in my career and able to provide for my son. One day, God showed me that the life I was living was low-hanging fruit compared to the life He had for my son and me. He revealed that I wasn’t truly living up to His standard of motherhood. When we measure our lives to the world’s standards, we. An often become content with less than God’s best. That realization convict

I didn’t always realize I was living outside of my purpose—I just knew how to get by. I was showing up, serving, and doing all the right things, yet still felt disconnected and searching for more. In Beautifully Broken, (a book Holy Spirit helped me write last summer) I share how God met me right there. He didn’t just call me—He interrupted my life. He exposed the lies I believed, broke unhealthy cycles, and began bringing me into alignment with His truth. Clarity didn’t come

Sometimes we enter seasons where everything feels hard—like it takes so much energy and effort just to make progress. It may feel that way, but the truth is, it’s not hard—it’s just unfamiliar. What you’re experiencing are growing pains. Being a woman in transition means you’re consistently moving higher—into territory you’ve never experienced before. Don’t let the unfamiliar make you feel disqualified. Struggle is often a sign that you’re growing. hard. It’s unfamiliar becau
