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!

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
