Our new marriage devotionals, Loving Your Wife Well and Loving Your Husband Well, are now available here!
Have you been praying for direction, but things still feel hazy? God himself will guide you along the pathway of life. He will teach you the way to go. It was a beautiful afternoon in Oxford. I paused at the top of Seven Sisters overlook on my walk. I needed to pray, wonder, and “have…
Is your little girl growing up too fast? Do you feel nervous about keeping your communication open as she heads into her teen years? Even if you didn’t have a close relationship with your mom, you can connect with your daughter in ways that will draw both of you closer to God and closer to…
What do you want God to do for your marriage? What is God’s love story for your marriage? God wants us to love one another because He wants our relationships to showcase His love! For your maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name. (Isaiah 54:5, ESV) That’s the question I threw…
It’s easy to allow fear to set in when we forget how faithful God has been in the past. Take the time to remember not to forget. My stomach was in knots. I felt like I was going to throw up and I could hardly breathe. My 6-year-old grandson had suddenly become ill. It turned…
Has God given you dreams you desire to do with Him? Maybe you have yet to discover this goal. Prayerfully consider God’s direction. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered, “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. Luke 1:38 NIV I never took dance. Never was a cheerleader. Couldn’t memorize…
When God expands our capacity to love, we have the ability to let go of unforgiveness. Sometimes we need to reach the end of ourselves first. Around September of last year, I sensed something significant was shifting. I wish I could say it was because the Lord revealed something profound to me through His word…
What are some simple ways to learn to position yourself on the path for joy that is more likely to experience Jesus, while in the midst of walking out everyday, real life? “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 “Did anyone…
“And the Lord will guide you continually …” Isaiah 58:11 (ESV) Sometimes God just doesn’t act on our situations the way we believe He should. How can we respond when He’s disappointed us?

There are three steps that can help you take your thought captive, renew your mind, and think about things that are true and lovely. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians…
When waiting feels intense and hard and scary, we have an opportunity to learn to wait in a new way. But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 ESV)…
Why is it so easy to see what needs work in others? It’s not up to us to change that other person, and it’s a weight we don’t need to bear. Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all…
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…
In an ever-increasing confusing and chaotic world, how are we to fix our eyes daily on Jesus? How can we meditate on whatever things are true? The other day I was scrolling through Twitter and quickly found myself asking why. It is not a place I walk away from with more peace, understanding, or better…
Peace is hard to find in the chaotic world we are living in. But we will not find it in this world. True peace is found as we put our trust in Jesus. I look at the world and it seems more unruly and chaotic than any other time in my life. We are still…
Sometimes we don’t even realize how powerful God’s grace is in our lives until we find ourselves broken. “I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8 ESV Laying in bed, I felt like a failure as a mother. I’d prided…
