I recently read Acts chapter 3 during my devotions and saw the lame man differently. If you are familiar with this story, the man was lame from birth. Later, we read that he was over 40 years old (Acts 4:22). Can you imagine being 40 years old and never standing or walking on your own?… Continue reading The Lame Man

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
Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
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
Think On These Things
What are you thinking about? What have you spent time thinking about this week or this month? Is there a topic or two that is reoccurring? It could be a situation you are stressed about or a conversation you keep replaying in your mind. To think is to have a thought in your mind for… Continue reading Think On These Things
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?
Paul’s View of Affliction
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). I… Continue reading Paul’s View of Affliction
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? Are you comparing your life to someone else’s? It may not be. For some of you, you have faced things you never imagined,… Continue reading Your Life Today
