Your Ideal Home
What would you say if I were to ask you to describe your ideal home? Do you envision a house and a yard? You may want a garden, a barn full of animals, or a perfectly manicured yard with a fence and a pond. What about the inside? Is it an open floor plan and… Continue reading Your Ideal Home
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
Discouragement VS. Disappointment

We’ve all heard the saying “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” I’m sure I’ve even said it myself. God does want us to be holy, set apart, etc. Our lives are to be a living sacrifice and a testimony of His goodness. There will be times in our lives, in the center of… Continue reading Is God Against Happiness?
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
Fear the Lord
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
