Live for the glory of God
Over the past 15 years I have worked at leaving my past behind and walking in my new identity in Christ. One thing that has been critical to this journey is surrounding myself with verses about what God says about me and my new identity in Him. The Bible is filled from cover to cover […]
Have you ever stopped to wonder why it is that we spend the entire month of December celebrating Christmas, but only “Holy Week” celebrating Easter? Some people celebrate Christmas for two or three months. But without Easter, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas. Without Jesus’ resurrection, we wouldn’t have eternal life, and Christmas wouldn’t have the meaning […]
Why do we celebrate Christmas more than we celebrate Easter? We spend an entire month decorating our homes, singing special Christmas songs about Jesus and giving gifts in His name. Why do our yards light up every night to remind people of “The Reason for The Season” but when we get to April or May, […]

If there is a way to over-think an idea, I’m your woman! When it comes to our quiet time, there are tons of quiet time resources out there, from special journals to stickers to make your journals colorful to special journal groups that share ideas on art journaling your quiet time. If you’re not careful, […]

Are you having trouble maintaining a consistent quiet time? Are you discouraged because you don’t know where to start? Maybe you want to study your Bible more, but don’t know how to get started. One of the things I’ve found is that a lot of women struggle with taking their quiet times deeper. It is […]
There aren’t many things as intimidating and daunting as trying to find a church. There are many things to consider when looking for a church, because not all churches preach the Bible. I know that is hard to believe but, as with anything else in life, there are good churches and some churches that just […]
Joy is a battle. Everyday the enemy strategizes ways to steal our joy. He doesn’t want us living in joy of the Lord, because a joyful Christian is a very dangerous person! A Christian who daily walks in joy is a Christian whose very countenance testifies of Christ’s love for us. The power of the […]
Next to Ephesians, Philippians is one of my most favorite books of the Bible! It offers so much encouragement, challenging us to walk in joy and humility and reminding us to keep our minds centered on good things, not negativity and drama. And goodness knows there is a lot of drama in the world right […]
This year I wrote a lot about war rooms and quiet times. That is because I believe that time with God should be our first priority in life. The most important thing we do in life is glorify God, and we glorify Him best when our relationship with Him is strong. That is why I […]

Last Monday I woke up and marched out to my “War Room”. Yes, I marched. I didn’t walk, I didn’t saunter, I didn’t even stumble in those early hours of the morning when normal people are sleeping. I marched. It was symbolic for me. Anyone who battles a chronic illness will understand what I’m about […]
I knew I had some really tough choices to make. My plate wasn’t just full, it was overflowing. It was cracking under the sheer volume of stuff I’d continued to pile on top of it. I was a hoarder; a chronic “yes” sayer. It wasn’t so much that I wasn’t in tune with how much […]
My heart sank as I read the exciting email. A dear friend was writing me to thank me for my prayers. God had answered and the situation was resolved. While I was elated for her that God had come through, as I knew He would, I felt guilty that I hadn’t given the situation as […]
