Mustard Seed Health & Healing

I had the best morning at Pages of Grace bookstore in Brenham with the owner, Danelle! This place is the cutest Christian bookstore with so many amazing goodies—books, gifts, Bibles, you name it. It’s one of those stores that just feels comforting the second you walk in. 🤍

You can tell how much heart Danelle puts into this place. Part of their mission is “to ensure every visitor leaves feeling like family—refreshed, inspired, and reminded of God’s unchanging love,” and honestly, that’s exactly what it feels like. We got to talk about how God has been working in both of our lives and how important it is to trust and follow when He puts something on your heart.

I’m so excited to share that they’re now carrying my book, ‘Emersyn Chooses Kind Thoughts and God’s Truth’! 💖 Being able to reach the local Brenham community this way means the world to me.

My book is also in two other stores that I’ll be sharing soon, but for now I just want to say thank you to Danelle and her mom, Debbie, for opening such a beautiful store and for believing in my book.

This is going to be such a great place for the Brenham community and anyone visiting the area! Stop by the next time you’re in Brenham.

The harvest is plentiful, the workers are few… and I’m struggling to show up. 😩

Matthew 9:36-38

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

This verse has been weighing heavy on me since I saw it on the Bible app a few weeks ago. It’s been twirling in my mind, checking the posture of my heart regarding laziness and apathy… I’ve truly been struggling, to say the least.

I want to be a worker, but if I’m being honest, I’m tired. Exhausted, honestly. And I want to blame someone, but I know a lot of it falls on me… my lack of action and the distractions I allow to pull me off track.

But I also have to remember there are ebbs and flows to the harvest. It’s not continuous, it’s like seasons. Fall is here and leaves are falling, animals are less active, the sun sets earlier. It’s more of a time to rest. Yet I always feel like I’m not doing enough… and frankly, sometimes I’m not. But I have to remember it’s not about me doing the work, ultimately God is. I still have to do what He’s called me to, but sometimes that’s just being, not doing.

The harvest mentioned in the Bible is often about souls that are ready to hear the gospel and how the workers are to help them know Jesus. Sometimes I get wrapped up in doing all the things when in reality, God is just asking me to be more Christ-like to the people around me and to point others to Jesus. It doesn’t have to be a big production or a checklist of to-dos, but simply an open and surrendered heart to the Lord.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Maybe being a worker in the harvest looks less like endless doing and more like abiding in the One who called me in the first place. 🤍

On this World Mental Health Day, I want to remind you of something that hit me last night... so much of what we’re all doing to “regulate our nervous systems” or “take care of our mental health” is actually what God has been telling us all along.

We hear so many messages about what to do: breathwork, rest, mindfulness, self-care, taking care of our bodies emotionally and physically… and those things do matter. But at the root of it, everything we’re trying to do for our minds and nervous systems goes back to what the Bible already says and has said for years.

God says to renew our minds — Romans 12:2
God says to guard our hearts — Proverbs 4:23
God says to rest and Sabbath — Hebrews 4:9–10
God says to care for our bodies, our minds, and our hearts — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

I’m a follower of Jesus who still wrestles with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and all the messy parts of being human. But that doesn’t make God any less good or diminish my worth. It just reminds me that I need Him not just sometimes, but every single day.

And taking medication doesn’t make my faith smaller or mean I trust God less. It’s simply one of the ways He provides healing and help in this world. My faith isn’t measured by what I can fix on my own — it’s shown in my surrender and dependence on Him through it all.

If you’re feeling heavy today, remember: you don’t have to hold it all together. Lay it down at the feet of Jesus. 🤍

“I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,” says the Lord. — Jeremiah 30:17

I've been sitting on this idea for a blog post since August. I finally wrote it a couple of days ago, but I am nervous to share it. But if even one woman needs to hear this today, it's worth it. The suffocation of skinny is real, and I know I'm not the only one who feels it.

"I think we're walking into dangerous territory, choosing skinny over sustainable, healthy weight loss."

"I just want this next generation not to be suffocated by the outer world and what's going on, by the messages they pick up—because right now there's a serious narrative going around that skinny is better."

If you're struggling with body image and the pressure to be thin, this one's for you. 🤍

I'm really worried about the daughters who see their moms, or aunts, or their mom's friends get really skinny. They hear these remarks about people's bodies and they think that skinny is better, that it's superior, that that is what they should strive to be. But what happens when their bodies aren't

Can I be honest? 😅

Sometimes I feel unqualified for this work because I don’t always practice what I preach. It’s hard to admit, but it’s the truth. I haven’t been as mindful lately about what I put into my body. I've been careless, and when you live with an autoimmune condition like I do, that really matters. My body doesn’t let things slide. Gluten, dairy, even too much alcohol — it all adds up. My thyroid antibodies are high, my stomach hurts, and I don’t even want to get started on the brain fog. I feel the inflammation everywhere.

I have made choices that didn’t align with my values, and it eventually caught up to me. The frustrating part? I knew better.

Sometimes I resent having to be so intentional with my food, rest, and overall care for my body. I wish I could indulge in McDonald’s and chase it with a big Coca-Cola without feeling horrible for days.

But the truth is… I’m not missing out. My mind tells me I am, but I’m not. I really need to rewire that thinking.

Most of us are just one choice away from either supporting or sabotaging our health. While it might seem “easier” to ignore the hard stuff, there’s always a cost — eventually. I’m just one of those people who feel it immediately, due to my autoimmune condition.

So here I am, choosing to stop wishing for things that don’t serve me and, instead, realigning with what I know does. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest.

Maybe that’s what makes me a better coach… because I understand it. I’ve lived through the struggle, and I’m still working it out. We don’t need perfection — we need truth, grace, and the courage to begin again (and again, and again if necessary).

🌱 Here’s to realigning, choosing intention, learning (even the hard way), and still choosing healing.

If I’m being honest, I don’t always feel qualified for this work. I’m still walking through many of the struggles I discuss in the Rooted Together Health & Wellness Program for moms and daughters.

I still wrestle with confidence, body image, and making the healthiest choices for myself. I want to do better, but sometimes life gets the best of me, and I take the easier way out… which often turns into the harder way.

I know I’m not where I used to be, and for that I’m grateful. But it still feels scary to step into a calling I believe God has placed on my heart, when I’m still struggling in so many of the same areas. I wrestle with sin. I get caught up in the world. I let it pull me in, even when I know deep down I’m called to more.

My heart is to help the next generation not just avoid some of the pain and confusion I’ve walked through but also break chains and strongholds that have lingered for too long. I know the enemy is trying everything he can to stop what God is building, but I’m reminded that I have to stay connected to God. I have to fight the good fight of faith, hold onto hope, dust myself off, and keep going.

Even when I don’t feel qualified… even when my feelings or actions try to pull me off course, I know where I need to be. I know the answer is turning back to God again and again, laying it all at His feet. He already knows what I’m walking through; I’m not hiding anything from Him.

So if you’re struggling with a calling that feels too big, hard, or heavy, don’t give up. God never said it would be easy. The enemy doesn’t want us to advance the Kingdom of God. He wants us stuck, overwhelmed, and distracted. But we were made for more.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Colossians 3:2–4🤍
