You are Forgiven and Worthy
We often feel as though we are the only ones going through something we wished never happened. The enemy preys on that mindset of isolation, but I am here to tell you, YOU are not alone.
Women of the Bible: Eve - Finding Contentment and Significance in Truth
Matthew 5:16 “...Live so that they will see good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven.” It is not about what could go wrong, where our weakness lies or what others expect from us. God asks us, as women of God, to surrender our weakness, our pride (let’s just call it out) and our desire to please others and to ask His Holy Spirit to come alongside us. He is our strength that we can only carry with us when we find contentment in who He says He is.
How to Find Community and Balance It
I don’t know about you, but I’m a do-er. Environments I can thrive in the most can be those that consist of an incredibly busy schedule. The constant, “on the go” has a unique way of keeping me motivated to jump onto the next. There would be moments of excitement due to the accomplishment of fitting multiple tasks or multiple visits with people all in one day. That is - until the day I was convicted that my immediate “yes’s” to plans and people, and pressure to keep “doing more”, robbed my i...
What to Do When You Feel Disconnected from the Lord
“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” - Jeremiah 29:13
I’m an Oklahoma girl through and through, so when we moved to the Bay Area of California I was a little shocked to find they had almost zero similarities, the main difference being the weather. In the Midwest, the weather has kind of a blanket effect for the entire region. If it’s raining, it’s probably raining in other parts of the state. If there’s a cold front, everyone within a tri-state region is most...
The self-created god of happiness
Lord, I surrender the orbit I have fallen into to you. Restore my intention in relationship with the sisters you have placed around me so that I may champion them in their strengths and gifts. So that You may be revealed and glorified in our communion together. I thank you for gentle reminders of how You are at work in my life. Please give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that welcomes the ways in which you are moving.
Investing in Authentic Relationships that Give God Glory
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17
Let me ask you this question: if you were to fully allow yourself to love God and bring Him glory with your actions, health, words, and work, how would your top five relationships change? Would your people cheer you on as you pursue Jesus and a more intentional life, leading to deeper trust and authenticity in your relationships? Or, would their support decrease and frustration increase because of your faith pursuit?
What will we feel when we stand before Jesus?
The ultimate promise made to us by our God is the promise of our salvation. God promises eternal life with Him through the blood of Jesus Christ. The previous 11 weeks of promises have helped us to understand what God promises us through our journey in following Him here on earth. This last promise is the promise of all promises. The promise of eternal life is the greatest gift our God has for us. This promise is the foundation of all other promises. When we choose to follow Him, serve His Ki...
There's never been a moment you were forgotten
Father,
Today, we are talking about your unfailing love. Those two words bring chills down my spine as I ponder how majestic and wonderful you truly are. It’s more than we will ever be able to comprehend. As we enter this devotional today, I pray that you would give us your words, your truth, and your love. God, would you encourage us to know you more, understand the depths of your love and learn how to receive it? We love you, Abba Father.
Amen.
