Pray. Give. Go... or DIsobey.
I loved when missionaries would visit my church when I was a little girl. I knew I would see slides of foreign lands, hear stories about the people in those countries, and maybe get to hear someone speak in a different language. When the offering plate was passed, I happily gave a dollar from my piggy bank, hoping that it would bless the missionary and their work for the Lord. All this fascinated me, but deep down I felt nervous when missionaries came to visit. Was God callin
The Blessings of His Steadfast Love
My Bible study this year is studying The Book of Psalms, and it has amazed my soul to see God’s steadfast love. I believe when we soak in God’s steadfast love and meditate on His agape love, obedience comes as a desire. When I look at His wondrous works and see the majesty of His hand upon creation, it brings His light and His passion for His own front and center within my heart. Does obedience for any of us come easy? I don’t believe so. I think it is exceedingly hard to foc
The Vulnerability of Obedience
I remember Michelle sending out an e-mail about a ladies’ mentoring group that was going to be starting. If I was interested, the email said, I could read about it and see if it was something I could commit to. The program involved reading a book a month, meeting with women (I may or may not know) and growing in my faith. I thought, “This is going to be tough, but I really think this is something I could learn from.” I told my husband I really wanted to do it, and he said, “P

The Holy work of waiting
Hannah’s story in the Bible speaks tenderly to women who know what it is to wait. She longed for a child while enduring years of disappointment, misunderstanding, and quiet grief.

She poured out her soul before the Lord and surrendered her deepest desire to God’s will. If God chose to give her a son, she would give him back. This was not a casual promise; i
Forsaking All I Trust Him
What is obedience? What is the first thing we do when we question the meaning of a word? I don’t know about you, but I immediately go to my phone, tap on the Google app, type in “definition of obedience,” and in good ole Google fashion, a suggestion pops up for “definition of obedience in the Bible.” So for the purpose of this devotion, I will give you both definitions. “Obedience”- compliance with an order, request or law or submission to another’s authority. “Definition of
Doing the Right Thing, Even When You Don’t “Feel” Like It
I don’t know about you, but some days my “feelings” are all over the place. Maybe it’s because I’m now in my mid-forties (hello, perimenopause). Maybe it’s because I am in a season of constant changes: my children growing into adulthood then leaving home and getting married, losing both of my parents, plus hormone and health changes. Some days I feel like a strong woman of God. I know my purpose, my worth and my calling. Other days I think, “What in the world am I doing? I ca
