“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14 Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines meditation as “Close or continued thought; the turning or revolving of a subject in the mind; serious contemplation.” What close or continuous thoughts are you… Continue reading The Meditations of your Heart

When Crisis Comes
Second Chronicles chapter 20 opens with the Moabites invading Judah. Jehoshaphat is king, and he is walking with the Lord. Jehoshaphat did not take the news of this invasion lightly. The king knew he had to act quickly and protect his kingdom! Jehoshaphat could have reacted in many ways, but he chose the best solution:… Continue reading When Crisis Comes
But Will You Let Him?
As wives, we have this idea that submission to our husbands means we lose who we are. Biblically, that is not true. Submission is really just saying yes to God, by saying yes to our husbands and letting them have the final say. It is letting them walk out the authority and responsibility God has… Continue reading But Will You Let Him?
King Hezekiah
The account of King Hezekiah that I’d like to share comes from 2 Kings, chapters 18-20. Up to this point, Judah has had its share of wicked kings. There have been some that did recognize the Lord, but not to the extent they should have. Then we have Hezekiah. Chapter 18, verse 3, tells us… Continue reading King Hezekiah
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
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
