Respect in Marriage: Part One
I feel like there needs to be a huge PSA at the wedding that says: You are married. Stop living as if you are still single. Your finances, your friends, and your schedule are no longer yours alone. You are on the same side. You two are now one. There is nothing you will do… Continue reading Respect in Marriage: Part One
Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
Goodwill is defined as “friendly, helpful, or cooperative feelings or attitude” Philippians 2:3 reminds us, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Taking a moment to think that maybe your spouse had a bad day, forgot, or had something else on their… Continue reading Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
Have You Purposed?
In two portions of Scripture we see God talk about purposing something in the heart. This isn’t just having a good idea or trying harder. This is a set determination. A conviction. An unwavering stance. Acts 11:23 “Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that… Continue reading Have You Purposed?

In the Midst of Trials
Trials come in all shapes and sizes, in any season of life. If we are honest, we’d never ask for most of them, would we? But, what do we do when the trials do come and we have no other option than to live through them? I want to start by saying trials are not… Continue reading In the Midst of Trials
Don’t Let Sin In
I hope to not rabbit trial and to convey my thoughts clearly. Hang with me. This may take a moment. We are surrounded by circumstances all day. Things beyond our control. People that affect us. Others respond to us and we can’t control their words and actions. And some days, it’s downright overwhelming, isn’t it?… Continue reading Don’t Let Sin In
How’s Your Heart?
1 Samuel 16:7 “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” How is your heart? What does God… Continue reading How’s Your Heart?
