How’s Your Walk?
We hear many things referring to our spiritual walk. Usually, this refers to your daily walk or daily devotions. We are encouraged to be consistent in this area, and I agree that we should be. However, Scripture has a lot to say about our walk. Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the… Continue reading How’s Your Walk?
Prayer & Fasting
When was the last time you fasted and prayed? Unfortunately, fasting isn’t something that is commonly taught or practiced among God’s people. Scripture teaches about fasting and even gives us different examples of what that may look like. In Daniel we see Daniel and the other three young men fasting from the food and drink… Continue reading Prayer & Fasting
When You Don’t Know What to Say
Have you ever felt like you should pray or praise in a more specific way, but you couldn’t find the words? It seems like our words aren’t enough sometimes. Can we really praise God for all that He is and does when we can’t even wrap our minds around all He is or does? So… Continue reading When You Don’t Know What to Say
Is Anything Too Small?
We often say, “Is there anything too big (or hard) for God?” We know the answer is “No.” Nothing is greater than our God and this truth brings us much comfort and encouragement. However, I feel like we never think of the opposite. Is anything too small for God? Things we don’t think are significant. … Continue reading Is Anything Too Small?
For the Stay at Home Mama
I see you, mama. The same routine day after day. Constant cleaning, sibling fights, and endless requests. I mean honestly. How many snacks can these kids possibly want in a day?! Has today been hard? Are you steadily counting down until bedtime because you are exhausted? Do you feel stuck, wondering if what you are… Continue reading For the Stay at Home Mama
A Hard Truth
Most of us want others to be honest with us in all situations. At least that is what we say. What about when the truth is hard? Life-changing? Some truths are easier to hear and accept than others. However, if the truth is truth, then it is always what we need to hear. One of… Continue reading A Hard Truth
Leaving a Legacy That Matters
You are leaving a legacy, lasting memories, habits, and examples to those around you. What will you be remembered for? As a Christian, you should desire to be remembered as loving Jesus, being faithful to serve Him, being faithful to church, and living in a way that brings others to Him. Our lives should be… Continue reading Leaving a Legacy That Matters
Living in an Instantaneous Society
In the world we live in, so many things are instant. We have a microwave that cooks faster than an oven, instant pots that not only cook foods quickly, but you can make a whole meal all at once, and of course, instant rice, coffee, oatmeal, and potatoes. Let’s not forget about instant entertainment, money… Continue reading Living in an Instantaneous Society
Choosing Faith in 2022
I don’t usually choose a word or phrase for the new year. I am more of a “take it one day at a time” type of person. I just try to live for Jesus day by day. I don’t even like committing to a doctor appointment that's three weeks out. I know, it's a problem. … Continue reading Choosing Faith in 2022
