Today I read Jeremiah 1-3 for my devotions. As you read through the Old Testament, you’ll see Israel’s history. They spent their lives walking with God and turning to idols, God corrected them, they’d come back to Him for a bit, and then back to their idols, and the cycle continued. They didn’t seem to… Continue reading A Past-Tense Testimony

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
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. The idea is to show that we aren’t and don’t have to be put perfectly together 100% of the time. Some days we don’t get out of… Continue reading The Culture of #hotmess
Dear Toddler Mom,
I remember that time in life. The 2’s and 3’s can be so much fun, yet so challenging. I have a 2 year old niece, so I get to experience this again. I honestly love it. If I could just keep her, I would. You get a first row seat to watch your babies grow… Continue reading Dear Toddler Mom,
Truths About Nagging
Truths about nagging: Nag is defined as: annoy or irritate (a person) with persistent fault-finding or continuous urging. Nagging comes easily. Nagging isn’t biblical. The Reason for Nagging: To get someone to do something you want. Nagging may motivate them to complete the request, but that doesn’t justify it. If nagging is not biblical, that… Continue reading Truths About Nagging

Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build
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

With Good Will
I was struggling a bit in my mind, no doubt a spiritual battle. Satan wants us to think about and act negatively toward our spouses. When praying and looking at Scripture, God gave me this reminder. I am sure I’m not the only one that needs it. Webster’s 1828 dictionary explains good will as being… Continue reading With Good Will
