“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.” 2 Corinthians 4:1 One simple memory verse has really gotten me to thinking so much about how I view ministry versus how God does. I didn’t have a clue how powerful this solitary sentence in scripture would become to […]
Meditation Monday: Encourage One Another
I’m blown away at how God divinely places women in my life just when I need each unique friendship. It’s a beautiful thing, and I’m humbled as I examine how each of the ladies I gratefully consider my friends have touched me in her own special way at just the right time. One of those […]
Meditation Mondays: God is Near
Loneliness rested upon my heart. Yet again, it threatened to take over all of me. “Is there no one, God?” “Yes, my child, I AM the One.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lies whispered into my ear. “Believe us. Dwell on what we have to say.” I cry out again, and I hear Him answer, “Believe the Truth. I […]
Meditation Mondays – Truth
Source What is truth? It’s such a confounding a question in 2012. Truth. A solitary word that brings about heated debates, leaves people searching and confused, and is often defined with a vague answer. But what is it? Aren’t people tired of being lied to? Don’t we just want honesty? While it’s easy to […]

I’d like to take this […]
Meditation Modays – My Purpose
Have you ever looked at the Bible, the endless shelves of theological books at the bookstore, listened to your pastor cite a slew of verses you didn’t even know existed and thought, “I’m missing something.”? How can I ever be a woman who changes the world for Jesus if I don’t have a plethora of […]
Meditation Mondays – Joy in Full
I know that if you based your opinion of my current life’s situation on the last week’s worth of posts (or lack of posts), you’d probably think that my very life has been crumbling around me. I assure you this is not the case. In fact, most of my life is full to overflowing with […]
Meditation Mondays – My Refuge and Fortress
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you […]
Meditation Monday – In Everything Give Thanks: Put it in Context
We have this tendency as human beings to focus so much on one thing that we miss the bigger picture. At least I do. I’m not talking about blocking out distractions. Distractions make us lose our focus, and they need to be blocked out. However, just as with anything else in life, we have to […]
