Often, we say that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Logically, this makes sense. I understand that the thought is that you have nothing to give when you are empty. Being empty could be exhaustion, overwhelm, or fear. When we experience any of those, we freeze. We can’t make a decision or take the… Continue reading Be Poured Out

Fear the Lord
Do you fear the Lord? Many of us need a better understanding of what it even means to fear the Lord. Often, people think that since God is love, we have no reason to fear Him. This is true, but only when we misuse the word fear. We will see that we fear Him because… Continue reading Fear the Lord
The Path of Spiritual Adultery
Spiritual Idolatry and Adultery I read through Hosea for my personal devotions. There’s so much there when you really look at the life of Hosea, think of how he felt, and see how it fits into Bible Prophecy. Here, we see that Israel, like Gomer, had played the harlot. As a nation they abandoned God.… Continue reading The Path of Spiritual Adultery

The Tears of Motherhood
The tears of motherhood. There’s so many, aren’t there? We often cry when we find out we are expecting. We cry at the first sight of the baby on the ultrasound or the first sound of the heartbeat. We cry during pregnancy for no reason because of our hormones. We cry at the first movements,… Continue reading The Tears of Motherhood
Mary, Blessed Among Women

Their relationship and entire testimony just seem incredibly sweet. Their interactions and Mary’s thoughts remind us they were human like we are. … Continue reading Mary, Blessed Among Women
Dear Toddler Mom,
I remember that time in life. The 2’s and 3’s can be so much fun, yet so challenging. I have a 2 year old niece, so I get to experience this again. I honestly love it. If I could just keep her, I would. You get a first row seat to watch your babies grow… Continue reading Dear Toddler Mom,
