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

The Path of Spiritual Adultery
Spiritual Idolatry and Adultery I read through Hosea for my personal devotions. There’s so much there when you really look at the life of Hosea, think of how he felt, and see how it fits into Bible Prophecy. Here, we see that Israel, like Gomer, had played the harlot. As a nation they abandoned God.… Continue reading The Path of Spiritual Adultery
The Culture of #hotmess
#hotmess This is a popular hashtag and photo caption on our social media pages, isn’t it? Along with #hotmessmama and #hotmessexpress I understand the relatability of this term.

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.

We cry during pregnancy for no reason because of our hormones. We cry at the first movements,… Continue reading The Tears of Motherhood

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

Mary, Blessed Among Women
Mary was referred to as blessed among women. During the Christmas season, I enjoy digging deeper into the announcement of Jesus’ birth. Mary and Elisabeth are some of the women I admire most. Their relationship and entire testimony just seem incredibly sweet. Their interactions and Mary’s thoughts remind us they were human like we are. … Continue reading Mary, Blessed Among Women
