Growing as a believer is not about trying harder. It’s about letting go of control and allowing God to do the work in you. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) The summer before my junior year in college I had an opportunity to travel…
As the busy holiday season approaches, will you allow God to restore your sight to see Him in the midst of it all? This morning I woke with a sense that the past thirty days were a bit of a blur. Our family is coming off of a month that has been overflowing with commitments,…
Adoration is a beautiful spiritual practice to train our souls to always adore God when we don’t understand and life is out of our control. “O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens!”Psalm 8:1 ESV I sat in a group of women…
David teaches us so much about worship and repentance. He actually offers some very practical, intentional steps we can take to become women after God’s own heart. ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’ Acts 13:22b Do you love a…
