God is calling us to be powerful women of prayer. We can go to conferences, read books, watch shows, listen to pastors, go to church and sit in the audience and learn about prayer all day long but God is now calling us to action. Anyone can pray for you and stand in the gap for you but true power will be released when you begin to open your own mouth and pray for yourself and release blessings over your …
Matthew 14:22-33 The story of Peter walking out on the water to meet Jesus amazes me every time I read it. The mystery of it all, the faith that it took, the fear that overtook Peter once he realized what was happening and how probably that one moment solidified the disciples realization that He truly was the Son of God. So much happened within those 10 verses that a new revelation could be found every time the story is retold. …
SO I recently sat down with my husband and we had an interesting discussion. It’s amazing how we can go weeks, months or even years without having a heart to heart talk with our spouses. Life just kind of goes on and on and our everyday to-do lists become the routine and as we add kids to the mix, the focus seems to shift… a lot. We hardly find time to just sit and share thoughts, dreams, goals and more …
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 At many times in our lives we may find ourselves becoming anxious. We live in such a fast paced society that we’ve quickly become conditioned to having things done in record time. In this digital social age, we can quickly feel pressured by the success of others, to the point where we start wanting things we don’t even need. …
Coming off of the Resurrection weekend my mind starts to think about how awesome our God really is and how no matter how hopeless something in our life may seem: our dreams, our goals, our plans, or our marriage, God is able to restore and resurrect them all! I have spoken to my fair share of women who are really struggling with their marriages and many times it seems as if it’s at the end of the line and all …
Words are extremely powerful and they are the very thing in which we can never take back, no matter how much we say, “I take that back” or “Ignore what I just said”. Once a word has been spoken, it is firmly implanted on the memory banks of the one who received it. Let’s face it… we’re all humans. We all get annoyed, upset, disappointed, hurt and anything else you can think of. Our natural instinct is to respond to …
Admit it, we’ve all glanced over at a neighbor’s house in admiration of how well-kept their front-lawn is. For many of us, their grass always seems to be just a little more greener, a bit more smooth-cut, and a tad more carefully decorated with an invisible “I Am Perfect” sign parked right in the middle. For some of us, this same line of thinking can slowly creep its way into our marriages. We glance at Jane and her husband seemingly …
Overcoming Worry “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.” Philippians 4:6 There’s something about this 5 letter word that seems to plague all of us at one point or another. During our busy lives, it seems that the older we get, the more we find ourselves worrying. We worry about our kids, we worry about our finances. We worry about our positions at work or about …
It’s morning again. We awake with a list of things on our minds that we need to get done today. The kids need to be dressed for school, we need to stop by the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner, and we forgot to call Suzie from the day before. Our boss expects something to be done today and we are only minutes away from being late. We’re either kissing our husband goodbye with a smile …
