Stay the Course ⛵🛤️
In one of the hardest seasons of my life—when resources ran dry, relationships fractured, and the future was unclear—God asked me to stand. Not to sell, not to run, but to trust Him fully. This week, I share the raw, honest journey of obedience when everything said to give up. Mortgage payments made at the midnight hour, joy found in unexpected places, and the quiet voice of God that carried me for sixty months. This isn’t a story about provision—it’s a story about trust.
An Unexpected Blessing ✈️✨
This is the story of how I went to Israel with no money, no plan—and saw God provide in the most personal, undeniable ways.
What began as a bucket list dream (one my late husband shared) turned into a journey of surrender, obedience, and unexpected provision. I fasted. I prayed. I prepared my heart. But I had no way to pay my mortgage when I returned, and no spending money for the trip itself—until God moved through the hands of others.
From being baptized in the Jordan River to buying a wedding ring engraved in Hebrew—“I am my beloved’s and He is mine”—with the exact amount of money I’d been given days earlier, this trip was more than a pilgrimage. It was a love letter from God.
And then He revealed something I didn’t expect: the date of my baptism in the Jordan was exactly 40 years after I first gave my life to Christ.
I thought this trip was about seeing the land. Turns out, it was about seeing His heart.
Meet The Salazar Family

Digging In ⛏️🔥
The truth is I fasted because God asked me to. I had seen such change in me that yes, I guess I did want more. I wrestled because I wanted pure motives (not just weight loss). I don't know that I would call it a delight, but I would call it something I must have - sustenance. I can't imagine my life without fasting.
