    "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." - Isaiah 54:10.

    Okay my lovely friends, let's talk about motherhood. Truth is motherhood is magnificently beautiful, wonderfully life-giving, and remarkably heroic. But the truth ALSO is that it is back-breakingly HARD. But in a world that tells us that hard equals bad, we can often find our hearts filled with despair when we experience the hardness of our vocations. But what if hard doesn't equal bad, but rather sanctifyingly good? What if the shame we experience when the hard swallows us is just a nasty tool of the enemy? What if the Lord desires that we meet him in these hard places and let Him pour His mercy, compassion, and love on our weary hearts?

    "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25.

  • 191. Stretch Out Your Hand

    "Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here before us.” Then he said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored.

    In order to be healed, Jesus asked the man to OPEN his hand. Perhaps, the Lord is waiting for us to stop clenching our tight hands, and instead to open them up to the healing grace God has in store for us.

    "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying of all the Lord's people." Ephesians 6:18

    This week I am joined by my dear friend, Beth Sri, to discuss her latest book Pocket Guide to Prayer, which she co-authored with her husband Dr. Edward Sri. Join us as we discuss the importance of fostering a home alive with prayer. We dive into some of the struggles of prayer and explore how our own personal prayer lives have a magnificent capacity to nurture a life of prayer within the family.

  • 188. The Power of Our Blessings!

    “The Lord bless you, and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. " Numbers 4:24-26

    As the busyness of the fall season is underway, I find myself paying close attention to the words that come out of my mouth? Am I gracious, am I merciful, am I encouraging, and do I pour blessings into the hearts of the little people in my home? As the Lord has continued to reveal to me the power of a momma's words, I think it is time we reflect on the incredible gift of our blessings!

  • 186. Is Your Fire Attractive?
    Sep 24 2024

    Want to connect? Send me a quick message here!

    "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." 1 Peter 3: 3-4

    Is your fire for the Lord something that draws the hearts of others toward communion with him? We often get caught up in the determination to pass on our faith to those that we love, that our “accomplishment” of this goal can mistakenly become our focus. We can lose sight of the fact that simply loving the people in front of us is our faith alive, a faith that draws others to the heart of Christ.
