I'm thinking of this concept as it applies to marriage, but it can be a good way to view any relationship in our lives.

If he can succeed at getting us [...]

Do You Believe in Miracles?
As I was reading the Christmas story in the Book of Luke, I was reminded that the story did not begin with Jesus, but rather John the Baptist. His birth was a true miracle, too! And he was born into the earth to usher in the GREATEST MIRACLE ever, Jesus! In Luke 3 we see [...]
Do You Feel Under-Valued or Unseen?
Do you ever feel under-valued and unseen? Whenever we seek validation outside of God and outside of ourselves, we will always come up short. It's wonderful to be recognized and validated, especially by those closest to us. But the more we feed on the truth of God's VAST LOVE for us and fill our hearts [...]
Tips For Enjoying Christmas During Estrangement
The Word of God IS God!
There's a big difference between "knowing" someone from afar and knowing them intimately, right?

I was spending time thanking God before I stepped on a stage to share my marriage restoration testimony. It took courage, vulnerability, and honesty. It took pressing [...]
Why We Don’t Ask God For Faith, but We Feed Our Faith by Hearing
As believers, the Bible tells us that we ALREADY have the God-kind of faith residing in us. We don’t have to ask Him for faith, His faith resides in us whenever we hear the Word. Romans 10:17 "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ." It is only by hearing the [...]
Do You Know You are ALREADY Healed? Let’s Break it Down!
I once heard a true story about a woman who worked as a housekeeper for a very rich man her whole life. She cared for his physical needs but also grew to care for him very much and felt honored to serve him and blessed to work for him into her old age. When he [...]
Why We Should Never Speak Negatively About Our Spouse
***Disclaimer*** In this post I am NOT referring to wives who are being abused by their spouses. It is the bravest first step you can take by confiding in someone outside of the situation. Ask for help when faced with a situation you may not know how to navigate according to the Word- Proverbs 24:5,6 [...]
