The Signature Collection Is Here (and It’s So Me!)
I’m so excited to finally share this with you… my NEW! Signature Art Kit Collection is officially released. This collection has been on my heart for a long time, and bringing it to life feels incredibly personal. These are Christian design art kits created by me, inspired by my faith, my story, and my creative style. This collection isn’t trendy or generic. It’s me in paint form.
If You Feel Nervous About Your Calling, Read This
Have you ever felt nervous right before doing something important? That shaky feeling in your chest, the thoughts that say, “What if I mess this up?” or the quiet fear that whispers, “I’m not ready.” That’s exactly how I felt the night I shared my heart about the Creative Ministry Collective. And here’s what God showed me in that moment: feeling nervous doesn’t mean you’re doing the wrong thing. Often, it means you care deeply and you’re stepping into something that truly matters.
A Fresh Start: Reflect, Dream, and Plan with God This New Year
I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about a new year that I love. For me, it feels like a clean slate. I know… it’s kind of just a mental thing. There’s really no difference between December 31st and January 1st. It’s just another day on the calendar. But that mental shift? It helps me so much. Every once in a while, I need to give myself a little “restart” moment to help me get back on track with different things in life. And the new year feels like the perfect time to do exactly that.
As we step into 2026, I want to guide you through something I love to do every year—reflect, plan, and dream with God. This isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about purpose, growth, and moving forward with intention.
When the Noise Fades: What God Often Shows Us at the End of the Year
As Christmas approaches, the pace of life starts to change. The days feel shorter, and the evenings are meant to be quieter… unless you live with kids or grandkids who treat bedtime like a suggestion or suddenly find a second wind after dinner. but even with the noise and chaos, this season has a way of slowing us down on the inside and inviting reflection.
A New Chapter for Paint & Purpose: Introducing Creative Purpose Ministries
Hey friend! I’ve been praying over this for so long, and I finally feel ready to share the vision God is growing inside this little corner of the internet. If you’ve been around Paint & Purpose (or Imagine Nation Paint) for any length of time, you know my heart has always been to blend creativity, community, and Jesus in a way that feels real, safe, and inviting.
As I’ve been preparing for future Praise Painting nights in 2026… faith-based painting events for churches, women’s groups, Bible studies, and communities… the Lord has been tugging on my heart. What started as a simple idea to combine worship and creativity has turned into something deeper: a calling to create spaces where people can meet Jesus in unexpected, beautiful ways.
Step Into Your Purpose… Because Jesus Is Coming Soon
My heart has been heavy lately. Really heavy.
Y’all, Jesus is coming back. And it’s soon. Like so soon that I can hardly think about anything else. Every time I scroll the news or read the Word, it feels like prophecy is unfolding right before our eyes. Revelation isn’t just a story anymore, it’s happening. It’s both terrifying and so incredibly hopeful at the same time.
Finding Purpose in the Battle: Stand Firm in Faith for Such a Time as This
Hey there friend! There’s an alarm sounding for the Church… and it’s time for us to wake up and suit up in the Armor of God.
I couldn’t sleep one night recently. My mind was racing, and I knew God was stirring something in my heart. I felt Him whisper, “It’s time to rise up. It’s time to speak out in love and truth.”
So even though this was way out of my comfort zone, I decided to step out in obedience, because this message isn’t just for me. It’s for all of us.

You’re too tired to even think about doing something for yourself. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to live on empty. You were created to create.

Lisa Harper and Christine Caine: A Night That Changed Everything
In December, I had an unforgettable experience meeting two incredible women I’ve admired in ministry for years—Lisa Harper and Christine Caine. They came to a local church in Roanoke, VA, about an hour from me, and I knew I couldn’t miss it. Not only did I attend the event, but I also got a ticket for the pre-program Q&A session. It was worth every mile, every minute, and every bit of excitement leading up to it!
Jesus Music, Memories, and a Little Magic: Our First Concert with CAIN!
Back in August, I got to experience something truly special with my son, Cam—we went to his first concert! We headed over to Osborne Baptist Church in Eden, NC, for an unforgettable night of music, thanks to K-LOVE Radio. The headliners were CAIN, one of my all-time favorite groups, and it was such an incredible experience! It was the perfect opportunity for some Mama-and-Cam time, and it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.

Brushstrokes of Hope: Navigating Loss Through Art and Faith
Does anyone else find it nerve-wracking to share deeply personal experiences, especially when they touch on faith and trauma? It's like opening up a vulnerable part of yourself to others. These things really hit home for me, and I genuinely hope that sharing my story brings you comfort, hope, and a little inspiration.
