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?

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
I Have a Gift for You
Most of us like to receive gifts, especially this time of year. There’s a joyful spirit in the air and everyone seems more generous. Giving and receiving gifts are expressions of love. And that’s what I want to give you today. The greatest gift and expression of love ever given. From God to you. That’s… Continue reading I Have a Gift for You
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
What Do We Really Deserve?
I absolutely dislike, maybe even hate, the word “deserve.” I don’t think this word or mindset has any place in the vocabulary of a Christian. I am trying to be careful here. I am a very black-and-white person as most of you know. Something either is right or it’s not. I don’t have a lot… Continue reading What Do We Really Deserve?
I Am Not Missing Out, And Neither Are You
Dear Homeschool Mama, I see you. I know the indecisiveness and worry over curriculum, grades, struggles, extra-curriculars, trying to be a good wife, and maintaining your home. It’s a lot. Anyone that says we have it easy has obviously never done this. This year is my 8th year of homeschooling. Something I never thought I… Continue reading I Am Not Missing Out, And Neither Are You
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
Spiritual Warfare
We have all faced this to some degree. I believe Satan fights us all our life, even before salvation, because he doesn’t want you to come to Christ. He fights as you’re under conviction and the Spirit of God is drawing you to Himself. He continues to fight every day after salvation because he doesn't… Continue reading Spiritual Warfare
It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
We all have off days. Days where spiritual warfare is not only real, it's intense. Days where things aren’t the sweetest at home. Days where nothing goes right. Those days are hard aren’t they? I don’t like those days, and I’m sure you don’t either. They are exhausting both mentally and emotionally for… Continue reading It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
If/Then
Leviticus 26:3-4 says, “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” This promise of blessing was contingent upon their obedience. If they walked… Continue reading If/Then
