Devotionals

I hope you’re enjoying reading along with us, and if you’re just getting here, you can catch up on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 on the blog! I decided to summarize a little at the bottom of this for my own thoughts, but hopefully it helps you sort out where we are on Day 4, too!

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. – Proverbs 16:9 Letting Go and Leaning In God promised in the Bible that we would run into problems. He told us that if we chose a life for Him, people would be against us. If we did what He asked, we would be persecuted. He didn’t…

Okay so if you aren’t aware, we are reading Made for This: 40 Days to Living Your Purpose and we are inviting our followers on Instagram and Facebook to join in reading it with us. What is also awesome is that Jennie Allen (the author!) is reading it and discussing it starting today, too! We are pretty excited to get started…

Mom Guilt is a real thing, am I right? But for anyone, not feeling like enough is SO common. We live in a time when families are portrayed as perfect on social media, and what we have to offer can’t possibly be good enough. Lately, I’ve been feeling this more. It’s January.

When we are at the alter on our wedding day, promising to love the other person for the rest of our lives, we smile and think about how wonderful and easy it will be. We feel love overflowing from our core of what the future with our new spouse may hold. We promise to always love them as 1 Corinthians…

In 2008, my father passed away. I believe if he had passed away from old age or the chronic lung disorder he was diagnosed with a few years earlier; it would not have been such a shock. Although those two things probably played a role, they were not the reason he died. It was Christmas night, and we had the…

Have you ever prayed for something and it felt as though your prayers were not being heard?  You wait patiently for the answer and there seems to be no result to your prayer?  Your faith may waver as you wonder if He really hears you or perhaps you think He is mad at you and that is why you aren’t…

We so often limit our blessings because we limit God. We either don’t believe that He will give us what we ask for, or we just don’t know what the scriptures say. There are so many places in the Bible where Jesus tells us to “ask” for what we want, and to ask in His name (see John 14:13-14; 15:7;…

I want you to take a minute and study the picture because it delivers the message perfectly. We like to think that when God asks us to let something go that He just wants to see us miserable, and He doesn’t want us to enjoy life. In the picture, the girl is holding a “little” teddy bear that she says…
