YOUR PAIN HAS A PURPOSE

WELCOME!
My name is Olivia and I am so glad that you're here. God designed you for a unique purpose and yes even the struggle is apart of the story.
We can learn to find strength and hope even in the midst of pain. And the best way to do that is to lean on the Lord and chase after Him.
I pray my words are encouraging and that you're reminded of God's love and truth.

A Devotion that Impacted Me
💜 At the beginning of January this new year, I started a devotional plan on the YouVersion Bible app called “New Year, New Mercies” — a 15-day devotional by Paul Tripp. Each day was powerful and encouraging, and I truly recommend this plan. There was one day in particular that spoke directly to something I had needed to hear for a long time. It was so refreshing and beautiful to hear from God in that way. I wanted to share these powerful words because they impacted me, and I

Like Soft-Falling Snow ❄️
On Sunday morning, I woke up to something I didn’t expect—snow. In Georgia, that alone feels like a gift. I wrapped myself in warmth and sat on the front porch with my dad, hot chocolate in hand, watching it fall. There was a quiet joy in the moment, the kind that settles into your soul and reminds you how breathtaking God’s creation truly is. That quiet beauty brought a familiar song to mind: “Winter Snow” by Audrey Assad (lyrics at the bottom) I’ve loved this song for years

A Bracelet to Remember
Let me tell you a story… Last Sunday, I went to church like I usually do. I truly enjoy going, even when my body is exhausted. It’s always worth it and fills me up in a way nothing else can. It started as just an ordinary day. I arrived about ten minutes before the service began, sat down, and looked around the room. Then, out of nowhere, an older lady came over to me. We had seen each other several times before. She wanted to tell me that she had been praying for me every si

Held Into The New Year
Happy New Year friends!! ✨ Here’s a poem I wrote… “Held into the New Year” Last year my word was endeavor, chosen from a heart scared, but ready to grow. To challenge myself, while learning how to be gentle with myself. To keep making space for opportunities to try new things without the weight of needing to do them perfectly. I hoped my actions would stay in tune with peace, with kindness, with grace. And through the year, I saw that word come to life— brought before my eyes

When Gratitude and Grief Meet 🌿
On Thanksgiving, the house is full of voices, full of life happening all around me. And in the middle of it all, I feel that familiar tug of grief. Not just over physical limitations, but over the parts of life that feel delayed, rewritten, or unknown. But alongside that is the steady whisper of God’s faithfulness. It’s as if He gently says, “You don’t have to choose between grief and gratitude. Bring both to Me.” I’ve found that true gratitude isn’t rooted in how I feel—it’s

Weeping and dancing
🌊 He turned my wailing into dancing. Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Wow, what a beautiful thing. He will bring me joy after the pain. Even though I feel like this pain is the worst, knowing that He is going to bring good better things brings me joy. And He is my TRUE JOY. Life isn’t about finding happiness in this world, it’s about finding joy in God. It may look impossible now, but the Lord can turn any situation around. He can turn da

Take heart
I'll be honest...life has been hard. Harder then I thought it would be. Everytime I face another battle, I praise the Lord for His goodness and victory, but then think it's over--that I've gotten through the worst of it and life will be better now. But no, things like to jump up and surprise me, right in the middle of the stillness I finally found, and disrupt it. Just when I can catch my breath I lose it to something else. Why is it that when we have gotten through an obstac

Church home
Hey everyone! I get so excited when I get to go to church. On Sunday I love picking out a cute outfit, going to the café for a yogurt parfait and seeing my friend. But what I love most is the service where worship is so powerful and I’ve felt the power of the Holy Spirit and felt healing. I love most the sermon that speaks to my heart and teaches me some incredible lessons. I love the community and the pastor’s deep passion for serving. I love the atmosphere and the sweet peo

Call upon His name
Hey guys! I wanted to share one cool thing God has been speaking to me! 🥰 So He started giving me signs. I was at a coffee shop one day doing my Bible and I randomly chose Psalm 116 & it mentions calling on God several times. I noticed the repetition but didn’t really think much of it. Then a few days later God repeativly showed an ad for this devotional book called “Go For It”. I felt like He was leading me to buy it. So I did! And that book title was perfect timing, aligni

Bold steps to share Jesus
About two 2 months ago God started speaking to me to “move” and take more action. To go out and make disciples, like verse Matthew 28:19-20 says. Starting out, with my new small groups. There were many obstacles. But being able to talk about Jesus with other people sparked a light in me and so I kept going. As I got more comfortable, I started enjoying the Bible studies and after a few months I was able to talk more about what we were learning and being vulnerable with how I

Your story matters!
A week or two ago, I felt convicted to ask my mom and brother in the kitchen randomly, about their relationships with God. I felt Him pulling on my heart strings. So I started trying to conversate and asked a few questions in a gentle way. I first asked, "What’s a moment in your life that paved a way as being a Christian?" My brother suggested church camps and my mom opened up a bit about an experience she had once. The 2nd question was, "What was different and what changed f

Freedom
Happy Fourth of July everyone! ❤️🤍💙 Grateful for the freedom we have in this country, but as well the freedom that Christ gave us when He died on the cross for our sins. Christ’s forgiveness and grace liberate us from the bondage of sin. He set us free from the darkness and by coming to Him we can experience His light. Like fireworks, God lights up my life, when I am struggling in the darkness. He sparks up inside me, reminding me I’m worthy of love. He is the light of the

Father’s Day
These are a few photos with me and my dad in the past years :) I’m so grateful for him and his faith inspires me. But I wanted to share an encouraging message with your heart today: In honor of Father’s Day, as we celebrate fathers throughout the world, we turn our hearts to God, who is the ultimate Dad. We remember our wonderful Heavenly Father. God was pleased to adopt us as His children through His eternal son, Jesus. We are chosen. Loved. Forever in His presence. Regardle

Bible Studies
One of my favorite things is doing Bible studies with friends! It’s such a beautiful thing, to come together and talk about God and His Word! These moments are so special. Whether it’s just at home, a pretty scenery, online, a coffee shop, or anywhere—it’s such a lovely experience. I would love to chat or do a Bible study with anyone so if you want to let’s talk! I’m all in :) I’ve always done my Bible studies by myself for the longest times, cause I thought that was the eas

Flowers and Scripture
Oh this fills me with so much joy! On Monday, me and my friend Emily used a bunch of fake flowers I had and wrote scripture encouragement on notes to go with them. And then we went out to some random parking lots and put them on cars. It was so fun and made me so happy to share God’s love! We also handed out little stuffed animals and hid some scripture verse cards in target haha. The crazy thing is the way God gave me this idea. I was praying and listening to His voice and l
