We tend to see rebellion only in children. As adults, we easily minimize rebellion to “mistakes.” However, God has a lot to say about rebellion. We must take this seriously. It is a sin and it will hinder our prayers. I want to start by saying that isolated mistakes and sins are not the same… Continue reading The Sin of Rebellion

Your Ideal Home
What would you say if I were to ask you to describe your ideal home? Do you envision a house and a yard? You may want a garden, a barn full of animals, or a perfectly manicured yard with a fence and a pond. What about the inside? Is it an open floor plan and… Continue reading Your Ideal Home
When You Are Not Grounded
John 18:38-39 says, “Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I… Continue reading When You Are Not Grounded
Is God Against Happiness?
We’ve all heard the saying “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” I’m sure I’ve even said it myself. God does want us to be holy, set apart, etc. Our lives are to be a living sacrifice and a testimony of His goodness. There will be times in our lives, in the center of… Continue reading Is God Against Happiness?
But I’m an Adult!
How often have you said or thought, “But I’m an adult!” How often have you heard someone else say it? Usually, this comes from those who are 18-20 or someone who has been told they cannot or should not do something. Those in the first group try to prove their adulthood, maturity, responsibility, and respectability… Continue reading But I’m an Adult!
Submitting to Your Husband
I will be honest: I don’t know why God keeps putting this on my heart other than simply because someone needs it. Submission is not always easy; society will not encourage this, but it is biblical, and we need it. If you have been in church or Christian circles long, you have heard a message… Continue reading Submitting to Your Husband
Be Poured Out
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
Surviving or Thriving?
I saw a sticker recently that said #survivingmotherhood I get it. Some days are hard. Being a mother is a full-time job. There are challenges nearly every day. There are questions, messes, and tantrums to navigate. You’ve never done this day before. Even if you have multiple children, there are still new challenges you will… Continue reading Surviving or Thriving?
The Mountaintop
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will… Continue reading The Mountaintop
