Being Real: Bullying in Today’s World

Over the last year there has been a topic frequenting the media, one that I was very tired of hearing about. I readily admit that I didn’t even take the time to try and understand what the people involved were saying or going through. I was very unsympathetic in regards to the topic. In November, […]

Open Our Hearts: Preparing to Serve

God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. He knows exactly what His will is for us before we’re born. He also knows what choices we will make along life’s way. It is through our choices that our life can take wrong turns from God’s ultimate will for us. Once we’ve […]

Life Series Kickoff

Throughout life we all have choices to make, opportunities to grasp or miss, difficult situations to live through, heartbreaks to experience, etc. In all of these things we have become who we are today. If our choices had been varied or our life experiences changed, we would be different people right now. In my life, […]

Family Series Kickoff

God has really been speaking to my heart over the last few months in regards to my family. He has been redirecting me as a mother, and placed a word on my heart. This one word has been making me stop and think as I go through my days with my children. It is requiring […]

Faith Series Kickoff

Without my faith I would be no one, with nowhere to go, and nothing to live for. This thought alone encourages me to stop and be thankful that I am a Princess of THE King, with a plan and a purpose designed specifically for me. My faith is what drives me to become better than […]

Life is Messy….Be Real….Make a Difference

Why is it that we are so unwilling to really know people? Why do we choose to keep them an arm’s length away? Do we really think that our life is less messy than theirs or vice versa? Are we afraid to open up to others because they might judge us and our lives? We […]

Temperance in Our Homes

It seems like it’s been forever since my last Fruit of the Spirit post. Though it is the final post in this series, I’m thrilled to be writing on such an important topic. I honestly believe that God delayed this post intentionally. He has been working on this fruit in me for quite awhile now, […]

Meekness in Our Homes

Most of the time when we hear the word “meek”, we equate it with “weak”. Yet throughout God’s word we are called to be strong and meek, so our equation must be wrong. What is the definition of Meekness?   Softness of temper; mildness; gentleness; humility; submission to the divine will; opposed to pride, arrogance […]

Faith in Our Homes

Faith is the most important step of belief for a Christian. It requires that we believe in that which we can not see. What is Faith? Hebrews 11:1  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Without faith we would be prone to believe only that which we see. […]

Goodness in Our Homes

Have you ever thought about what the word “goodness” means in Galatians 5:22? As a Mom I often find myself telling my children to “just be good“, but I didn’t really think about the word I was using. Have you taken the time to really think about what you’re asking? In studying this fruit, I believe […]
