Surrender
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In you’re your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 How do you respond when you are confused or afraid of the future? Anxiety disorders affect an estimated 42.5 million individuals annually of the adult population. We spend time discussing potential societal implications of this mental health decline such as the increased use of social media, a heavier weight/awarene


Cultivate
John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Earlier this month, I had the privilege of serving as a chaperone at our high school summer camp and spending time with many of the same 11th grade girls I have the opportunity to teach small group to throughout the year. The theme of camp was Cultivate, centered around John 15:5. Throughout the week, we were reminded that h


Loving Radically
1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done with love. Many of us can recognize this verse! We may have heard it in a sermon, seen it on social media, purchased a sign from Hobby Lobby, or even written it on a notecard. This verse is beautiful and encouraging.

Before I went to college, I receive

Planting Seeds of Faith: What’s in Your Garden?
Like many young moms, I entered motherhood with the desire to do everything “right." I wanted to raise my children to love the Lord and grow into emotionally healthy adults.

Godly parenting is a huge job, and it is more than just a good idea or lofty goal. Godly parenting is a calling, a divine command. Godly parenting is also a guiding prin


My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Mary’s story is truly one of my favorites in the Bible. We can all learn something from her faithfulness and willingness to serve God no matter what. She trusted His plan even when it seemed impossible to walk through. In Luke 1, we see this beautiful song from Mary. After Gabriel has visited her, and she has seen her relative, Elizabeth, she sings; Luke 1:46–47 “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” When Mary speaks these words in Luke 1, sh


Saying "yes" to God might look different than you think
We are so excited to celebrate the marriage of our oldest daughter Hannah early next year! As we have been working on all things wedding planning, I am reminded of something – there is no wedding without a “yes.” The question “will you marry me?” must be asked, and it must be followed by a “yes” for the relationship to move forward. Early in the Christmas Story, a young woman was invited to be a part of God’s plan. Luke 1:28-31 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejo
