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

Paul wrote, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

Your Life Today
Is your life today what you pictured it would be? When you were making goals last year, is this what you envisioned? Did you expect things to be different than they are?

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,
Motives Matter
We all have things we have to do, but we don’t all operate from the same motives. We could even do the exact same tasks and have different experiences and outcomes based on what motivates us. Your motives and mindset are important. These dictate your attitude. If you are asked to do something that seems… Continue reading Motives Matter

Have you ever said or thought this? That you have lost yourself in being a wife and mother? I do not want to downplay how you feel.

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?

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?
