Do The Next Right Thing
When we take steps in our faith we are still moving forward. At times, I know it can seem like all you’re doing is taking steps backward because you still don’t have your answer “why”. In my journey, I didn’t get my why until the very end. I learned really quickly how much easier it is to stay faithful and fight for things when you're certain you will obtain your desired outcome. But God kept calling me to take one step more. One of the biggest “why’s” I took away from my journey God gave m...
Overcoming Fear and Anxiety with Truth
“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” - Matthew 6:27
We were never meant to be slaves to worry. Jesus came so that we may have life in abundance. He came to set us free, not just for our eternity in heaven but also during our time on earth. And while I haven’t fully conquered my fear of the future, there are ways for you and me to overcome our fear and anxiety through our faith, and reduce the amount of time we allow worry to steal our joy.
Living a Life of Purpose
Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come, we worship you in spirit and in truth. We magnify Your name, alone. Thank you for choosing us. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours as we do our best to emulate Your coming not to be served but to serve. Help us to be willing vessels for Your will. We love you Jesus. Amen.
Some Honest Thoughts About Tithing
Tithing is less about a financial change and more about a heart change. It’s less about giving God your money and more about giving Him your heart. Most of all, tithing is not a transaction – it’s a symbol of trust. It’s a trust that says, even when you can’t make sense of how giving can work with your finances, you believe the Lord will meet all your needs and bless the offerings you give Him.
Comfort to Courage: Behind the Scenes of the Wheatful Woman Podcast
It is important we remember GOD IS HERE. Our lives are lived fully when we learn to be still in the midst of unknowns and unfamiliar territory. God calls us to get uncomfortable by doing the heart and head work of slowing our roll (preaching to the queen of productivity here), taking a moment to ask questions and understand one another and meditate on God's truth.
Finding God's Goodness in Grief
Let’s dig into what scripture tells us about grief. My family and I just finished studying the book of Job, and what a powerful testimony his life was to God’s faithfulness in spite of grief. At the beginning of the book, we saw where God pointed Job out to Satan saying, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” (Job 1:8). Satan responded, “Does Job fear God for no reason? Have you not p...
You are exactly where you are supposed to be
If you’re feeling behind in your life, I invite you to think about what God might want you to steward something that’s in front of you while waiting for something new. Don’t get tired of doing what is good with what you already have. At just the right time you will reap a harvest of blessing. But you can’t give up before then.
Finding Purpose in Uncertain Times
The Lord’s timing never ceases to surprise or inspire me. When I felt led to choose this topic to write about months ago, who would’ve known this timing would fall during the Coronavirus quarantine? A lot of really difficult things have transpired as a result of this virus for many people. Some lost jobs, homes, incomes, their health, sense of purpose, passions and hobbies, and even lives. I know the list could go on. This season forced us all into a sense of isolation, and a bit of question...
Hand Lettering Tips and Tricks
I began lettering five years ago! Through lots of practice and teaching myself, I got to where I am today. Lettering is such an amazing way to share your faith and encouragement with your family and friends. From addressing invites, to making beautiful signs, lettering is an amazing skill that can allow you to do many things.
Now, for my biggest piece of advice: Take your time and be patient. Lettering is more of an ‘art’, rather than a different way to write. This new skill will need lots...
