Live for the glory of God
Have you ever written a prayer strategy for your war room? Perhaps you don’t even know what a prayer strategy is. In my post, How to Write a Prayer Strategy for Your War Room, I share about the importance of a prayer strategy and why we need to implement this importance practice in our prayer […]
If you’re visiting this post, you may be wondering if your family is under a generational curse. Maybe there is a pattern in your lineage of substance abuse, divorce, or infidelity. Perhaps you’ve seen how your grandmother suffered from inferiority or perfectionism, which was passed down your mother, and you recognize those same traits in […]
Do you feel out of place as a single woman in your church? Are you frustrated by the comments and suggestions spoken to you by well-meaning friends and church family… about how God is preparing your husband for you, how if you stop focusing on your singlehood “it will happen for you”, or that Jesus […]
Just recently, New York passed legislation allowing a mother to choose to abort her child up to birth. Following this legislation, other states have begun to follow suit. While this legislation limits this decision to health risks deeming abortion necessary, statistically speaking a very small percentage of women abort for health reasons. However, “health risk” […]
Do you have trouble living this Christian life like you think you should? Do you go to bed at night and lay there disappointed in yourself and frustrated because you didn’t live up to all the things a Christian is supposed to? Maybe you’re emotionally and spiritually exhausted from just trying so hard to do […]
Soon it will be Valentine’s Day. The month of love. And we’ll see Valentine’s Day cards with excerpts of 1 Corinthians 13 – the chapter of love. But is this what Paul was talking about? Romantic love? Actually, Paul was writing to the church in Corinth and the Greek word he used for love was agapeo. […]
My husband will repair the car before it totally breaks down and calls it ‘preventive maintenance.’ Too often we neglect the maintenance in our marriage and allow it to break down for lack of repair. What if we did a little preventive maintenance in marriage that will keep it greased and running smoothly? Some couples […]
While the vast majority of Americans believe Jesus really lived; for many, their perception of Him is quite skewed. In a research article by Barna in 2017, we see that just over 50% of Americans believe He will come again, while just under 40% do not acknowledge His deity. What’s more, we continue to see […]
I used to hate Proverbs 31. Yea, I’ll admit it. The Proverbs 31 woman used to really irritate me, because she was the impossible standard for every woman. My friends would get married, and would try to be The Proverbs 31 woman incarnate and I’d watch them stress themselves out to be the ultimate homemaker, […]
For many of us, routine is a good thing. For me it is. I thrive on having a schedule – and I have lots of them! I have a weekly schedule for my kids, cleaning schedule, cooking schedule, organization schedule, school schedule, and even a blogging schedule. I love being organized and having things flow nicely […]
In Christian circles, we have these terms we sometimes call “Christianeze”. Basically, it’s a lingo that Christians use and that non-Christians most times don’t understand….or misunderstand. One of those terms is “born again”. This isn’t anything new. Actually, in John 3 we see that Jesus used this very term and confused the person He was […]
I married later in life. Fact is, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get married. The one thing I always wanted to be was a wife and mommy. When all my school yard buddies wanted to be firemen, nurses, police officers and mailmen, I wanted to be a wife and mommy. The years of being […]
I’ll admit, I never dreamed I’d write a post about intimacy in marriage. I’m a bit shy when it comes to topics like this, and yet it is impossible to talk about revival in marriage without talking about revival in the intimate part of marriage. While I tried to approach this subject delicately, I must […]
About 4 months into dating, my husband and I began to embark on the topic of marriage. One of the things we talked about on those dates was the importance of the husband/wife relationship after children are born. After children come, so often the investment into marriage gets pushed aside with all of the diapers, […]
A few years ago I abandoned the practice of creating New Year’s Resolutions and began making goals instead. This decision completely revolutionized my outlook on the New Year and my efforts to move forward toward becoming everything God wanted me to be. It was no longer a quest for perfection, it was an journey to […]
I love homemaking. I enjoy most of the tasks surrounding my home; I enjoy cooking and baking, I love cleaning and making my house smell nice. I just enjoy being home. My home is my most favorite place on earth to be. One thing I’ve noticed about my home is that there are two things that contribute […]
The New Year is right around the corner and I’m doing a lot of reflection over this past year, the goals that I had for 2018, and how far I’ve come in meeting them and where I feel like I need to focus in 2019. I feel like 2018 was a great year, in a […]
Why Jesus? Why did Jesus come to earth in the first place? Have you wondered that? Why did God send His only Son to be born in such poverty, live so humbly, and die so tragically? What was the point? Don’t we have the 10 Commandments to tell us how to live? Shouldn’t that […]
A few days ago, Christian Comedian John Crist, went on an Instagram rant about those who have criticized the recent interview with Lauren Daigle in which she punted on whether or not homosexuality is a sin. In his rant, he accused those who are holding her accountable to her words of “trash talk”. Take a […]
I am sure every generation of parenting has come with it’s own unique challenges. This generation of parenting comes with challenges that previous generations have never had to face – namely devices, screens, the constant pull of the internet and how it constantly stimulates and entertains our children for us. Screens are a non-stop battle […]

A King born in a stone-hewn wayside shelter meant for travelers and their animals. The news of His birth was announced by angels and his visitors were herdsmen. His cradle was a […]
I am sure when I say I’m not just living in the moment, it will surprise some people. I don’t want to just live in the moment, because I believe that as a Christian, we have an obligation to ourselves, our families, and those around us to live in more than just this moment. While […]
If you’re like me, you’re done making New Year’s Resolutions. A couple of years ago, I realized that I’d even stopped actively making resolutions for the New Year, even though I continued to mentally get up nearly every morning with resolutions in mind for that day. And I still couldn’t keep many of them. Even […]
Read the other posts in this series: The Unshakeable Faith of Mary and The Jesus the World Needs to Know The news must have felt like a punch in the gut. The ultimate betrayal. His fiance was pregnant, and it was certainly not with his child – he had remained pure. Tossing and turning on his […]
I am one of those people that make resolutions all year long. In fact, I tend to make some sort of resolution every single day – and then get frustrated when I blow it. But I am starting to change this pattern, and today I want to show you how I’m doing this and why. […]
