Saying yes to God sounds brave… until you’re walking it out in the middle of exhaustion, uncertainty, and doubt.

In Part 2 of Through the Fire, I’m sharing the real and raw moments of what obedience looked like for me—saying yes to Fire Academy without knowing the outcome, trusting God while juggling motherhood, training, and the constant feeling of “Am I doing the right thing?”

Obedience isn’t always pretty. It’s rarely easy. But it’s always worth it. Because when we say yes, God doesn’t promise clarity—He promises presence.

This episode is for the woman in the messy middle, the one who’s following God but starting to question the path. If that’s you, you’re not alone—and I pray this reminder gives you strength for your next step.

Welcome to a new Series...

Through the Fire: Trusting God When the Outcome Breaks Your Heart

This isn’t just a story about Fire Academy. It’s a series about what happens when you say yes to God—and then the story doesn’t go the way you thought it would. Through the Fire is a deeply personal journey of surrender, obedience, disappointment, and the kind of growth that only happens when you’re refined by the hard.

Whether you’re walking through uncertainty, facing your own unmet expectations, or just wondering what God is doing in the middle of your mess, this series is here to remind you: You’re not alone. He’s not done. And even when the outcome breaks your heart—God is still writing something beautiful.

Here's a real look into homeschooling—I'm going over what has worked for me, but more importantly what hasn’t, and why it’s okay if it’s not picture-perfect.

We'll talk about how incorporating God in center of your homeschool is crucial. How we (us mamas) could be the problem with our homeschool. Why we may be unintentionally forcing things to happen in our homeschool and that it probably is leading us to more stress. Plus I'll leave you with a few take away action steps to help you keep your Sanity.
