A relationship is a connection, association, or involvement between two entities. We tend to only think of relationships as connections between people. It's usually pretty easy to evaluate our relationships with our spouse, children, family, and friends. Sometimes those relationships may be enjoying good health and sometimes they are "complicated." But as a person, we [...]

Thankful IN it all!
See this girl right here? I'm really proud of her! This is me standing backstage watching worship in a hidden hallway completely alone unaware the cameraman walked by. 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 [...]
Don’t grow OLD together, stay YOUTHFUL together!
What's the point of marriage if you're not ENJOYING it?! We are not promised to stay forever young, but I do believe the Word promises us that God will renew our YOUTH! The goal of marriage is not to find someone to grow old with but rather someone to remain youthful with! In the midst [...]
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 [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to pen these words: “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with THANKSGIVING.” ~Colossians 4:2 Take some time every day to thank God for all He’s done in your life. When you are believing Him to do something new, once you’ve prayed and released your faith for [...]
Is Motherhood Your Highest Calling?
Over the years I have spoken with many mamas who feel "mom guilt" when they have other interests, desires, and dreams in addition to the high calling of raising their arrows. Why is that? Let's talk about it. I believe it's because we have been taught that if you are a Mama, the calling to [...]
Do You Want to See an Awakening?
If we desire a great awakening for our world, for our nation, for our church, then WE must become awakened OURSELVES and AWAKENING begins with an ENCOUNTER! "Blessed are those who HUNGER and THIRST after righteousness: for they SHALL BE FILLED!" Matt. 5:6 So, this verse is teaching us that the FILLING is reserved for [...]
Want to Grow Your Church, Ministry, or Business, but Feeling STUCK?
As ministers, we can so easily shift into frustration and despair when church attendance is not growing, we’ve made a mistake in implementing a “program," lost a valuable staff member or volunteer family, or shame ourselves for our human failures. The pain comes because we are not ALLOWING and PROCESSING THROUGH all the EMOTIONS that [...]
