The Risk Worth Taking

What is God asking you to do that will require you to take some risks? What are the things He's asked you to do in the years past that you never went through with because the risk factor was just too large?

Fan Into Flame

Don't let inconvenience, distraction, or just plain lack of self-discipline extinguish your flame; if your desire for spiritual things seems to be waning, fan it back into flame!

What is Grace?

Grace has become a buzz word in the Christian world. Many embrace a Gospel message where they use the word grace to cover undisciplined living or a cop out for choosing to do things they shouldn't do according to the Bible. The truth is grace is not meant to just keep you from going to hell. God's grace is empowerment to overcome sin daily and to walk and prosper in everything you are called to do!

Train Them Up

A mother's role is to watch over the affairs of her house. What does this mean? Being a parent is like having a garden. You are the garden keeper and the gatekeeper of your home.

Avoiding the Mom Comparison Trap

Did you know that your mind naturally wants to categorize and rank things so that you can understand them better? So when we look around, our minds try to determine where we rank compared to other moms when it comes to feeding, playing, and disciplining our children. We even compare which mom is celebrated the best on Mother's Day!

You Are Enough!

You are enough. Right now, every excuse you can think of for not excelling in what God has purposed you to do can be erased! You are walking and breathing destiny! You don't have to tone yourself down and think you are inadequate or ill-equipped to prosper. When God created you, He made you specifically for the purpose He has for you to fulfill! God put it all in there; your responsibility is to get it out!

The Open Invitation to Offense

Did you ever receive an open invitation?

An invitation that is always good, no expiration, no fine print? This sort of invitation speaks of friendship and camaraderie—"You're welcome here anytime. Take as much as you want"— an invite without boundary or end. Offense offers that kind of invitation to us. An invitation that, no matter how old, how mature, how spiritual we are, we are invited to partake. Even though this invitation is seemingly friendly and feels good, it leads to destruction!

20 Minutes or Less Dinner: Lemon Basil Ricotta Linguini

The trick to a light, easy, and flavorful meal is using only a few, really great ingredients. Buy good ricotta for this dish. A lasagna, or even manicotti can mask a skim or grocery store brand by doctoring it up with Parmesan cheese and herbs. For this dish raw ricotta is the creaminess, the coating of the noodles, so it better be fabulous!

Crossing Over

Here’s the thing, you won’t move forward until you leave some things behind once and for all; we all have a crossing over moment where we put some things to rest in our lives, and most of the time, that crossing over happens first in our minds. You have to put thoughts that are contrary to what God has spoken to rest once and for all.

The Resurrection and The Life

He is the Resurrection and Life-- eternally and presently! There is nothing that is too hard for God, and if death itself couldn't stop Him, then you should take the limits off of what He will do in and through YOU! He makes all things new!

Created on Purpose for a Purpose

You were created on purpose, for a purpose!

This means that a very intentional God created you in your mother’s womb with a purpose already in mind. Not only did He have a purpose in mind, but every one of your days were written down in His book before one of them came to be! (Psalm 139:13-16). God didn’t make a mistake when He made you, and He considers your contribution and purpose as extremely valuable and necessary!

Do Not Enter

The night before Moses led them out of slavery, God instructed the Children of Israel to paint their doorposts with the blood of a lamb and the death angel would pass over them. The plague that was about to hit Egypt would pass them by. It is as if there was a huge Do Not Enter sign over their homes.

Get the Funk Off

Did you ever have a funky day?

Like out of nowhere you feel discouraged, cranky, or in some cases, even depressed. We all have these feelings come at us, but we don’t have to receive them or even give them a place or a day in our lives.

Get the funk off!

What is a Good Mom?

I want to encourage you that God did not intend for the process of becoming a mother to be one that would cause you to miss out on anything that He plans for you. He gave us the gift of being mothers and birthing children long before the curse.
