Walk through Hobby Lobby on any given day and you will find countless signs, pillows and knick-knacks emblazoned with messages. Some are more overt, like wall art with the word ‘bathroom’ on it (wonder which room that’s for!) while others are a bit more subtle. A pastoral painting with sheep in the distance and a…

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”—1 Corinthians 14:40 (KJV) I have to admit—when my four kids were younger, back-to-school season wasn’t completely chaotic. As a professional organizer, I had extensive experience and practice creating organized spaces. We had fairly stable routines for mornings, spots for backpacks (nails in the garage), and rhythms…
“But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors, he brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the place of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.“Deuteronomy 7:8 Have you ever struggled to make a decision? For me, I struggle to know if…
“It takes a great deal of strength to choose weakness.” Alicia Britt Chole “Most of us on Easter Sunday’s evening “fall asleep well fed and perhaps even grateful, yet somehow something short of awed.” Alicia Britt Chole “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should…
Holy places are thick with wonder and sacrifice—where darkness meets resurrection and every Gospel story whispers, “This really happened.” Last year, my husband’s family gathered for an epic Easter weekend at the Outer Banks. It was the first time all twenty-nine of us had been together in years. The Outer Banks is known for its…
Through Mary Magdalene’s story, we see how receiving grace, recognizing Jesus’ voice, and sharing His goodness leads to contagious joy. I once heard my friend share that when his children leave for school in the morning, he tells them to “be joyfully different.” His aim in doing so is to remind his kids that they…
“Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little. Then he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’” Luke 7:47-48 Pointing Fingers or Open Arms She wasn’t invited to the dinner party, yet she confidently entered the room. She knew the…
God can transform your anxiety not just into calm, but into joy, as you learn to replace fearful thoughts with His truth. “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:19 I love that Psalm 94 doesn’t just say, “When anxiety was great within me, you calmed me down.” Nope. God…
“At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill countryof Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.“Luke 1:39–41 We Need Community I tried seminary once before. And dropped out….
Live free indeed through Christ! Your freedom is His gift—walk in it, share it, and lead others to Him. Who the Son sets free is free indeed! “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.“John 8:36 Those God sets free are completely free! Walk in the fullness of freedom you have…
Learn slow living in a world that glorifies busyness. Let’s slow down, seek Jesus, and rediscover life’s beauty. “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”Luke 10:41-42…
Even in the midst of life’s deepest pains, God’s grace is sufficient, and true joy is found in His presence. “Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor…
Sacrificial love often goes unnoticed, yet it reflects the heart of Christ—costly, unseen, and deeply transformative. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13 (NKJV) I had no idea when we first got married that I’d find myself waking up alone. And not only for…
