I am reading through the book of Proverbs in my daily devotions, and the Lord has reminded me of some things. Chapters 2-5 and 7 begin with a plea to listen to the instruction and wisdom. God has not written these chapters for us to ignore them. It is also written from a father to… Continue reading Parenting in Proverbs

Help meet Vs. Help mate
Our vocabulary today is much different than that of the original Old Testament. While these two words seem very similar, I feel there is a difference, and that’s why God chose “help meet.” Commonly, these two phrases are used interchangeably. The KJV uses “help meet” in Genesis 2:18 and 2:20, so that is the phrase… Continue reading Help meet Vs. Help mate
Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
As with any type of health-related thing, it takes effort and planning. However, all of the planning, organizing, and good ideas are useless if we never start putting them into practice. Just start. There will be off days. Days you are tired. Days when the temptation to quit is strong. Keep going. If you do… Continue reading Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
Is the Lord Your Song?
“The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” Psalm 118:14 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2 “The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Song?
Is the Lord Your Savior?
Is the Lord Your Savior? I live in southeast Tennessee, and when you ask someone if they are saved, most people will say yes, followed by their reasoning. They respond with statements such as, “Granddaddy was a preacher,” “I have always believed in God,” “I was raised in church,” or “I am trying to live… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Savior?
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build
But Will You Let Him?
As wives, we have this idea that submission to our husbands means we lose who we are. Biblically, that is not true. Submission is really just saying yes to God, by saying yes to our husbands and letting them have the final say. It is letting them walk out the authority and responsibility God has… Continue reading But Will You Let Him?
Birthday Reflections
Today, I turn 30. The chapter of my 20’s has closed. The Lord allowed many firsts, lasts, experiences, blessings, and accomplishments in my 20’s. I am blessed beyond measure! Many of you know the hymn “Count Your Many Blessings.” One line in there says to name your blessings one by one. Have you done that… Continue reading Birthday Reflections
King Hezekiah
The account of King Hezekiah that I’d like to share comes from 2 Kings, chapters 18-20. Up to this point, Judah has had its share of wicked kings. There have been some that did recognize the Lord, but not to the extent they should have. Then we have Hezekiah. Chapter 18, verse 3, tells us… Continue reading King Hezekiah
Will You Prove Him?
What are you holding on to? What are you afraid to give to God? What is He calling you to trust Him with? Over and over in Scripture, we are given accounts of people being asked to do things that seem humanly impossible, all with the same result: finding God faithful. One account that sticks… Continue reading Will You Prove Him?
