Have you ever wondered what God has in store for you or what He thinks about your life? I don't think God is as mysterious as people claim He is. Sure, there are some things we might not understand this side of heaven, but I don't think He's as much a keeper of secrets as [...]

When You Tell Yourself You’re Not Interested in Sex
I showed my husband the title of this new post and his response was “What? Why would you ever tell yourself that? God created us to want sex.” But, I’m sure you’ve been there, Sis. I have, too. Because we all have human brains that try to convince us of things that are just not [...]
Do Not Be Afraid
The Lord never promised us that this life would be easy or free of hardships and difficulties. While we are not OF this world, we do live IN this world, and it is a broken world. There is plenty of beauty and plenty of terrible to be witnessed. I believe it is the stark contrast [...]
Need A Reboot?
It's been a busy couple weeks of nanny life. One of my little guys has had an appointment at the house two mornings a week and we were in the car two hours each afternoon for a drop-off/pick-up science camp in the city for my big guy. Carting a toddler and a preschooler means implementing [...]
What’s Your Focus?
The more we focus on what WE are called to do, the less we worry about what OTHERS are doing or not doing. We can spend much of our day unconsciously judging everyone around us, physically present, or through the online lens. I'm sure there was a time when life seemed much simpler and we [...]
Thoughts Are Optional
Did you know that your thoughts are optional? I once heard Candas Jackson say, "I used to think, I had to think, every thought, I thought." Wow! Do you mean we don't? That seems too good to be true, right? But it is definitely true. Whether it's our brain telling us something it is picking [...]
Perfectly Imperfect
Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." I don't know about you, but learning the truth that I no longer have to try [...]
Fill Up With The Water Of The Word
Ever try to do the work of getting rid of wrong thoughts? It's impossible to get all that junk out of your head no matter how much willpower you try to muster up and tell yourself that tomorrow will be different and you're not going to think about the past and those negative thoughts that [...]
God Won’t Waste It
"God causes ALL things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28(NAS) You can trust that HE IS GOOD! You can trust that HE IS WITH YOU! You can trust that HE HAS A PLAN! And that it is RIGGED IN YOUR [...]
Don’t Quit!
If God only gave us ears and not a mouth, we could hear the Word, and faith could come, but it could not be activated because we do not have a mouth to activate it. Faith has to be in our hearts and coming out of our mouths to be active. It's not enough just [...]
