I would be lying if I said I wasn't ever tempted to compare myself with others. In fact, I truly believe that this is something we are all must deal with at one point or another. I used to think it was only natural to have thoughts such as, "I wish I had her hair, clothes, body, etc." However, I have found through the Word of God that there are many verses that warn us not to entertain such thoughts.
The reason being is that God created each one of us for a unique purpose, and to fulfill...
Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. ~Psalm 55:22
My sister Emily and I were on a walk the other day, and we got to talking about the things God was showing us. Emily had quite the profound revelation from the Lord...In fact, it made such an profound impact on me, that I knew I had to share it with all of you!
During her devotional time, God showed my sister Emily that we often times experience unnecessary anxiety and burdens that we were never meant to carry. He showed...
Some may think this post is long overdue. But in reality, I was simply waiting for the right timing to share what's been on my heart. You see, God’s timing is sometimes different than ours. He truly did place it on my heart to wait on Him when it came to sharing this news. So with my heart fully depending on Him, I have some great things to share about the future of Dashing Dish!
In case you are new to Dashing Dish or you haven’t had a chance to read my story, let me begin by telling you a...
I just returned from Dreams Resort in Cancun Mexico, and it was such an amazing trip, so I thought I'd share some pictures with you guys!
I went with my husband, mom and dad, and my younger sister Emily. My older sister and her husband were in California, so they weren't able to join us on this family trip.
The first thing we did when we arrived was put on our swim suits and get to the beach!
This was the beach view from our resort.
And here is our room!
We of course did some shopping! Haha, loved...
Hey everyone! First and foremost, I have to take a moment and thank everyone for all of the e-mails, comments, and compliments I've been receiving about recipes that people have tried and enjoyed!

Valentines Day is just around the corner!!! A day filled with flowers, cards, romance, and spending time with your special someone. While that is wonderful, especially if you have a ‘special someone’, it often times leaves many people feeling lonely if they don’t have someone to share this day with, or even disappointed if your loved one isn’t exactly the ‘romantic type’.
If that sounds familiar, I’ve got great news for you! The very author of love LOVES YOU, and His name is Jesus!
I know we...
I don't know about you, but I personally need a playlist of really up-beat, motivating songs to keep me motivated while I'm working out. The only problem is, most of the lyrics in many of the well known hip hop/R&B/pop songs today are anything but clean.
I'm not saying that I'm against listening to any music that isn't Christian. However, I have found that in my own life, if I put things that glorify God in my heart, that is what tends to come out! So, that being said, I created a playlist of...
About a year ago I started journaling while reading my bible. I would simply write down whatever came to mind, or whatever I felt God was showing me and/or teaching that day. It didn't take long before I was able to see a consistent pattern developing in what God was speaking to me, and it was only through journaling that I was able to capture the beautiful portrait that God was creating in my heart.
The only problem that I found with my journaling was that there was no structure to it. When...
Although quite a bit of time has passed since the Christmas season, I wanted to share some of the amazing memories that the end of this year brought! This post is loaded with pictures from the beginning of December, all the way to January 1st! I pray each one of you had a blessed holiday season and you truly felt the Love of God, because that is what it's all about....God loves us so much that He gave us Jesus!
In reality, my holiday season started November 1st, because to me, the season isn't...
Over the past few months, I've received many emails from people asking me how I've stayed on track with living a balanced lifestyle longterm, while not falling back into old unhealthy patterns. I've found that it's pretty easy for people make the initial decision to change, but often times they have a very difficult time 'staying on track', which leads to feelings of guilt, shame, and failure.
I've come to realize that the question that everyone is truly asking is, how do I "get free" and...
