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

When Obedience Means Letting Go
As any good southern girl knows, obedience to authorities is non-negotiable. I was raised to say “yes ma’am” and “yes sir” and to obey without question. Often our view of God is tied to our view of our parents. And although I had a good relationship with my parents, I often viewed God as an old man in heaven who I was instructed to obey blindly, cowering even in His presence. I believed that if I did the “right thing” and said the “right things” that God would be pleased with
New mercies, new beginnings
As a new year begins, many of us feel the familiar pull toward resolutions; better habits, healthier rhythms, deeper growth. There’s something hopeful about turning the calendar page. Yet for many women, the new year can also carry pressure: Do more. Be better. Try harder. Before we rush into goal-setting, Scripture gently invites us to pause and remember where true renewal begins. Lamentations 3:22-23 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassion
God is in the midst of motherhood
I became a first-time mom this past May after welcoming my son, Riley, into the world. Besides my salvation, Riley is the greatest gift I have ever received. I look at my son in pure awe when I remember that the Lord gave him to me. I am so undeserving of the Lord’s goodness in my life. Right around the time I gave birth, my husband, Aaron, accepted his first pilot job, another very generous gift from the Lord. This job required my husband to be gone a week at a time. It wasn
