📧 🛍 This time of year can feel so noisy — our inboxes fill with endless sales emails and our feeds overflow with promotions coming at us from every direction.

🤫💡 Bringing Secrets Into the Light (Week 4 – Strengthened in the Secret Place)

God can’t heal what we hide. So many women feel heavy, anxious, or spiritually tired because they’re carrying hidden pain, private thoughts, or unconfessed sin.

In this final week of Strengthened in the Secret Place, we’re talking about what happens when we stop hiding and bring our secrets into God’s light.

🙌 In this week’s video, you’ll learn how God brings freedom to our secret thoughts, secret wounds, secret agreements, and secret sins — and how confession opens the door to peace, healing, and restored fellowship with Him.

👉🏽 Join me for Week 4’s video —then pull out your journals and begin! ✍

Week 4 – Bringing Secrets Into the Light

5 Practical Ways to Bring Secrets into the Light

1. Secret Thoughts.

Write down anxious or negative thoughts, then replace each one with a verse of truth (Philippians 4:8).

2. Secret Wounds.

Write a letter you’ll never send and pour out the pain, the “what I wish I could say,” then pray over it and release it to God. Also, notice your triggers when the wound still gets pressed and bring that pattern to God in prayer for renewal.

3. Secret Agreements (Lies We’ve Believed).

Write a list of lies you’ve quietly agreed with (like I’m not enough). Then, tear it up and rewrite the truth God says about you. Speak those truths out loud in prayer, even if your feelings lag behind.

4. Secret Sins.

Take 10 minutes of quiet to ask the Spirit, “Search me and know me” (Psalm 139:23 – 24). Write down anything He reveals and confess it to God. If needed, seek accountability with a trusted believer to walk in freedom.

5. Secret Overflow (A Life That Shines).

Light a candle each evening in your home and pray for His love to shine through you. Do one hidden act of kindness this week— without recognition—as a way of practicing overflow that comes from the secret place with Him (Matthew 6:4).

📖 Now – let’s get started!

🕯🎶 Week 4 – Challenge 💐🫧

Seek out a place of solitude to get alone with God.  Stop your work, turn off your phone, the television, music and computer.  Be still.  Practice the presence of God. 

Go outside or find a place in your home, where you can be alone and simply rest and be at peace.  Practice the presence of God.

Rest is a need – not a want.  Rest is not optional or something we wait to do when we are retired.  Rest is a blessing from the Lord, and it requires humility to admit we need it.

I’ll be running a bubble bath and probably taking a much-needed nap this week.  Soul care is self-care. So, enjoy it!

🎄❤️ When Your Heart Feels Tired Before December Even Begins

If December feels busy before it even begins…
you are not alone. 🎄💛

The weight of the season often starts before the calendar even turns!

Between Thanksgiving preparations, then Christmas decorations, cookie baking, meal planning, holiday shopping, volunteering, school schedules, end of the year work deadlines, and the unspoken pressure to make EVERYTHING PERFECT, many women find their ❤ hearts already tired 🥱 before December even begins.

The anticipation of family gatherings and friendship gatherings and all the “shoulds” can leave little room for rest and reflection.

Recognizing this fatigue is the FIRST STEP toward

✨ slowing down,
✨ making space for what truly matters,
✨ and finding peace amid the busyness.

“There was no room for them in the inn.”
(Luke 2:7)

I don’t want to come to the end of this season and realize
I made room for everything… BUT Jesus! 🙏

So this December, I want to invite you…
to slow down with me just 5–10 minutes a day.

Peace, Be Still is a simple
31-day Christmas Prayer Journal
created to help you do just that.

You can find it on Amazon HERE!
Or get the printable version
at half price on Etsy HERE!


Each day in December,
we’ll reflect on one of the four names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6

Each Day Includes:
📖 one Scripture verse
🔍 a short reflection
✍ a question to help you apply it
🙏 a space to write your prayer.

“For unto us a Child is born… and His name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
(Isaiah 9:6)

Simple.
Doable.
Heart-changing.

👉 Order your copy of Peace, Be Still on Amazon today and get ready to begin on December 1st.

✍ This isn’t about adding one more thing to your list.

This is about returning to the ONE THING that matters most.

Let’s make room for Jesus this Christmas.

Keep walking with the King,

Courtney

🍂 📖 STANDING GUARD (Week 3 – Strengthened in the Secret Place)

Have you ever prayed for God to take something away… but He said no? 💔

In this week’s video from the Strengthened in the Secret Place series, I’m sharing the powerful words my pastor spoke that rattled me for days — and how God used them to teach me the importance of guarding my heart when life doesn’t go as planned.

If you’ve been walking through a hard season, wondering why God hasn’t removed the thorn in your life, this message will encourage you to see His love and purpose even in the “no.” 💛

👉🏽 Join me for Week 3’s video —then pull out your journals and begin! ✍

Week 3 – STANDING GUARD

8 Practical Ways to Stand Guard

1. Guard your heart.
Each morning, pray: “Lord, keep my heart tender toward You and firm against sin.”

2. Guard your mind.
Limit what news, social media, or entertainment you allow in. Replace at least 15 minutes of scrolling with Scripture reading or meditation.

3. Guard your words.
Before speaking, pause and ask, “Will this build up or tear down?” Try keeping a “watch your words” verse (like Ephesians 4:29) in your kitchen or car as a reminder.

4. Guard your peace.
When stress rises, step away for a few minutes, breathe deeply, and pray Philippians 4:6–7. Even folding laundry or washing dishes can become a calming rhythm of prayer when you invite God’s peace in.

5. Guard your gratitude.
Keep a “gratitude jar” or notebook on your counter. Each day, write one thing you’re thankful for. At the end of the week, read through them again and give thanks.

6. Check the gate.
Ask yourself at the end of the day: “What did I let into my heart and mind today? Did it draw me closer to God or further away?” This daily checkup builds awareness.

7. Set holy boundaries.
Create one boundary this week that guards your heart or peace (example: no phone the first 30 minutes of your day, or not engaging gossip at work). Practice saying no to unnecessary noise, drama, or busyness that disturbs peace

8. Pray on the armor.
Each morning, put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6) in prayer, piece by piece, as a way of actively standing guard.

📖 Now – let’s get started!

🕯 Week 3 – Challenge 💐

Go pick a bouquet of flowers from your garden or a nearby field or buy yourself a small bouquet.  Each time you see the flowers, be reminded of God’s love and presence with you.  Our creator God is listening to your prayers.

I will be purchasing a small bouquet from my grocery store and placing it in a vase, in my kitchen.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why is this so hard?” this message is for you!

Week 2 – ROOTED AND UNSHAKEN


Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord is our strength…and so then wouldn’t it be like the enemy to try to steal our joy!  When he steals our joy – he steals our strength!

And so there will be days when our strength runs low and we feel like quitting but that’s not the end! That is our cue to run to God because his strength never ends.

📖 So let’s get started! In this week’s study you ‘ll look at 8 practical ways to be Rooted & Unshaken in your home!

🕯 Week 2 – Challenge 🎶

Keep your candle going and add to it – soft music every day in your home. Choose worship, classical or another form of peaceful music that helps you focus on the Lord.
My candle and soft music literally change the atmosphere of my home.  While the rest of my home may be messy, my candle keeps on burning and my soft music keeps on playing.  Morning, noon and night they serve me. My candle serves me with a flickering warm light, a pleasant scent, and a reminder to turn to God as my source of strength and help.  My music serves me with a soothing sound.  They don’t make messes, they don’t need managed, they just simply bless me and my family.  I hope it blesses you too.
