My heart is overwhelmed by the number of times I’ve heard, ‘we’ve been praying for you.’ Never underestimate the power of prayer. ‘We are pregnant!’ Saying it out loud with a big smile on your face, maybe even with a little pair of baby booties for grandma and grandpa to open, is one of the most exciting things…
prayers through tears: finding faith in miscarriage
there’s nothing that can take away the pain of the words, ‘there’s no heartbeat;’ nothing, besides God’s enormous arms wrapped tightly around you. The adorable booties and mommy-and-daddy-to-be books were bought, thebump app was downloaded, heck, the boy and girl names were already picked out, and all the dreams of welcoming our little sweet pea into…
scripture memorization with a purpose {are you up for the challenge}
9 verses, 4 weeks, 1 bible. i can say i made a difference, but the greatest difference happened in me. I desire to be the kind of woman who starts her day with Jesus and a cup of coffee. I have no kids pulling at my attention before the break of dawn, just the desire…
temptation…guard your hearts, eyes and minds {the book of 2 samuel}
we all fall to temptation. even a man like David, who truly desired to follow God and was richly blessed by God, fell to temptation. with God as your rock, guard your hearts, eyes and minds. completed reading 2 Samuel on November 10th. “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my…
agendas, appearances, abandonment {the book of 1 Samuel}
you know that energetic feeling of excitement you get when you set a new goal? you’re like i got this, i’m going to crush it. you get all your ducks in a row to make sure you have a successful first week, second week, maybe even third week, and then your motivation starts to slip…
a selfless love story {the book of ruth}
i’m a big fan of the book of ruth. i’m a sucker for a good love story and it’s an easy, short read. not to mention it’s a good excuse to flip through some of my wedding photos from earlier this year and put them to good use on my blog. “Where you go I…
it’s a vicious cycle {God raised up a deliverer— the book of judges}
this post is long overdue, i’m about a month behind on writing my books of the bible summaries. i’m still reading a couple pages everyday {or striving to}, but i’ve fallen a bit behind on my writing with the launch of my new online training programs…so i’ll just jump right into it. completed reading judges…
let me make you a promise {the book of joshua}
for those of you who read my genesis summary, you know i love to read and my ‘to-read’ list is always growing {in fact elizabeth gilbert’s new release, big magic, just got added to the list}. but i’m committed to finishing the new devotional, thirty days of prayer for the dreamer and the doer from {well}studio before i start…
i’m going to need you to repeat that {deuteronomy the second law}
i’ve been slacking. i’m guilty of slacking in my daily devotional reading as well as writing my books of the bible summaries as i complete them. i’ve let summer and my to-do list get the best of me. and quite honestly, the appeal of reading my way through the bible wore off right around the…
love yourself {meditate…God says to in 20+ verses}
meditate {intransitive verb} per merriam-webster is defined as to spend time in quiet thought for religious purposes or relaxation. i was surprised when i found the dictionary definition to include ‘for religious purposes’. i’m sure you’ve heard of the many benefits of meditation {decrease stress and cortisol, tap into your creative intuition, visualize and manifest your…
