The word conviction is no stranger to Christian circles. We often say that we came under conviction and realized our need for salvation, or that we have a conviction against some sin or habit that we feel is wrong. I want to ask if you truly have a conviction on something, or if it is… Continue reading Conviction or Convenience?

Living Abundantly Through Godly Speech
The Bible has much to say about your words. Once the words leave your mouth or you hit send on a text, they can’t be taken back. Your speech can encourage others or tear them down. You can praise God and His doings or deny Him and take the praise for yourself. Proverbs 15:1 says,… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Godly Speech
Living Abundantly Through Hurt
No one wants to experience pain and heartache. I don’t know of anyone that is praying for trials. However, these things will come, so you must know how to walk through them while honoring the Lord and learning through the process. This is not always easy, but you can do it with Christ. God has… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Hurt
Living Abundantly Through Faith & Obedience
Have you ever tried encouraging someone by telling them to “just trust the Lord”? Has this phrase ever been said to you? It can be a comfort, and sometimes we must be reminded to focus on God and His plan, especially during a trial. But what does it really mean to trust the Lord? Trust… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Faith & Obedience
Discouragement VS. Disappointment
Discouragement: a loss of confidence or enthusiasm; dispiritedness. Dis- is a prefix meaning “not” or “opposite of.” To be discouraged is the opposite of courage. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. Disappointment: sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations. I believe there’s a vast difference between… Continue reading Discouragement VS. Disappointment

Trusting God With Your Children
As a mother, accepting that we aren’t in control is very difficult. During pregnancy you get to keep that precious child with you at all times. But the day comes when the baby is born, and suddenly, everything is a threat. You begin to worry about car accidents, sickness, falls, someone being mean to your… Continue reading Trusting God With Your Children
Relying on Jesus
In Luke chapter 5, we see Jesus teaching from the edge of Lake Gennesaret. There were fishermen on the shore washing their nets, which meant they were done fishing. The nets were heavy and large, so cleaning them took a lot of work. He got into Simon’s ship and told him to thrust out a… Continue reading Relying on Jesus
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
