Dear Reader,

How are you?

Sunday mornings can be complicated.

For some, it’s a rush to get the kids ready. Alone. For others, it’s sitting in a church service, looking around at families sitting together, and feeling a deep, quiet ache.

You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely invisible.

I want you to know that I understand that feeling. I’ve sat in those pews. I’ve felt like I was shouting into a void where no one could hear me.

But there is a woman in the Bible who knew exactly how you feel. Her name was Hagar. She was a single mom, pregnant, scared, and running for her life in the wilderness. She thought she was utterly alone.

But it was there, in the middle of her mess, that God revealed Himself as El Roi.

"The God Who Sees Me".

He didn’t wait for her to get her life together. He didn't wait for her to be back in a "safe" place. He met her right where she was.

I wrote Courage To Believe for the moments you feel unseen. It is a 21-day journey to remind you that God doesn't turn away when life gets messy; He draws near.

This Wednesday, December 17, I am releasing this devotional into the world. My prayer is that it becomes a reminder on your nightstand that you are never, ever overlooked by God.

Rest easy today, Mama. He sees you.

Warm Regards,

​
