2 Corinthians 3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;” Sufficiency is defined as “the condition or quality of being adequate or sufficient.” And “To have an adequate amount of something, especially of something essential.” Is God enough? Is His Word,… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Sufficiency?

Is the Lord Your Strength?
Strength is defined as 1.“the quality or state of being physically strong.” 2. “The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.” Life sure brings great force and pressure, doesn’t it? Trials, heartache, spiritual warfare, peer pressure, demands of others. It is all demanding and takes great strength to withstand. And… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Strength?
Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
Are you willing to get your hands dirty for the sake of someone else? Jesus did. I can’t get over these two accounts: The woman with the issue of blood was considered unclean, and when she touched Jesus, by the law of the day, He would’ve been unclean, too. The lepers that Jesus touched would’ve… Continue reading Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
Murmurings & Disputings
Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” This is a command. God didn’t say to “try” or to “mostly” do things without murmurings and disputings. He also said all, and as you know, all means all. The context of this verse is Paul writing to the church of Phillipi. This verse is… Continue reading Murmurings & Disputings
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
Argumentative or Persuasive?
In our culture, everyone has a positive twist to every negative characteristic. Memes show us that being stubborn is really just standing our ground and that being argumentative is just being persuasive. They seem easy to believe. Why shouldn’t we look at things positively? After all, is it so bad to stand your ground or… Continue reading Argumentative or Persuasive?
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!

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?
What is Your Pride Preventing?
In Luke chapter 18 verses 9-14 give us an example of pride. The Pharisee was so secure in his religious acts. He was sure that his own works were enough to make him right with God. In contrast we see the humility of the publican. He didn’t stand as close to the altar, he didn’t… Continue reading What is Your Pride Preventing?
