WELCOME!

My name is Gina! I am not who I imagined I’d be in this season of life. I do not have it all together, I am not the “model” Titus 2 woman or mentor. I do not sit peacefully, sipping tea and scattering wisdom all over the place. ​​​​​​​​

That’s just not who I am… ​​​​​

EVERYDAY PRAYERS FOR JOY

Joy. It became my word a few years ago after God ushered my family and me into a season of very difficult circumstances. It happened one night when I couldn’t sleep. I quietly tiptoed out to our living room, sat on the couch, and wrapped myself in a warm blanket. The only light in the room came from three letters that sat on a shelf: “J-O-Y.” As I sat there, I reflected on what a long, difficult season we were in. That night, I knew that God wanted me to learn His definition of joy. Not merely an intellectual knowledge of the definition. He wanted joy to be my heart and soul’s down-deep experience.

He wanted me to experience Biblical joy.

Biblical joy is not something that comes and goes; it is not dictated by our circumstances. Biblical joy is something that exists even when we are suffering or going through a heavy trial. In Everyday Prayers for Joy: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women, you will learn what it means to find Biblical joy in God’s Word & the promises He has given us there!

Can Biblical Joy and Depression Coexist?

I wrote a book about biblical joy, entitled Everyday Prayers for Joy. I’ve also battled depression. Am I a hypocrite? Well, I’m sure there have been times when I have not “practiced what I preach,” but I do believe that depression and biblical joy can coexist. There are seasons when I find myself feeling exhausted…

In Honor of My Dad

If I were to describe my relationship with my dad, the word I would use would be “complicated”. I’ve never known life without him and I can’t imagine him not being here. He lived his life with his own set of rules and way of doing things. I guess most of us do the same….
