As I sat in church today and looked around, I saw many friends, familiar faces, and visitors. One caught my attention. A wife that was at church without her husband. This isn’t the first week she’s come alone, this is the norm for her. And her children. As I glanced around the auditorium, God reminded… Continue reading To the Spouse That is at Church Alone on Sunday

To the Spouse That is Home Alone on Sunday
Do you find yourself at home on Sundays because your spouse goes to church? If so, you’re in the right place. I’m not going to belittle you, beg you to go with them, or berate you for staying home. I want to offer you a different point of view. When one spouse goes to church… Continue reading To the Spouse That is Home Alone on Sunday
It’s Not Just Sitting in Church
Recently, I talked to a friend who is going through a hard time. They aren’t in church; they have a rocky past, which makes them question their salvation, and they aren’t sure what to do about their situation. During our talk, they said they don’t see how going to church daily fixes anything. There has… Continue reading It’s Not Just Sitting in Church
Tips for Finding a Church
Church attendance has become highly debated in our present culture. I feel like in past generations, it was more of a take-it-or-leave-it subject, while everyone acknowledged its importance to a degree. Previously, if you asked an out-of-church Christian where they went to church, they would say where they used to go and admit they needed… Continue reading Tips for Finding a Church
Can I Be Honest With You?
I just want to share part of my story. Maybe this will encourage you. Maybe it’ll make you think I’m crazy. I got married young. I had an okay example of marriage from my parents. My husband didn’t have a godly example, so we both had/have a lot to learn. My home life was a… Continue reading Can I Be Honest With You?
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?
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
Saying “Yes” in 2023
I enjoy the excitement and expectancy of a new year. It feels like a fresh start, changes are coming, and goals are being set. And I can start recovering financially from Christmas and a child’s December birthday (Hallelujah!). If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
Being a Wife Before Marriage
Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Does this mean a man can’t be favored or blessed by God before marriage? Not at all. We see over and over in Scripture that men are blessed and used by God before and after marriage, not just… Continue reading Being a Wife Before Marriage
The Sword of the Spirit
Ephesians 6:10-17 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of… Continue reading The Sword of the Spirit
