April 21, 2021Leave a comment

We ALL carry around insecurities and comparisons that affect the way we see the world. Without realizing it, we are harboring bitterness in the recesses of our hearts by saying and believing things like… She has the wardrobe/job/money I want!Why does their family always get to go on trips?If only I could be her weight … Continue reading Lessons in contentment

Have you prayed for them?

February 19, 2021January 30, 2021Leave a comment

We all have those people in our lives—they may be frustrating or disappointing, absent or a little too present. Then there are those people we are jealous of who seem like they’re just too perfect. There’s the people who hurt us and the people we’d like to forget. Whether they are a close family member … Continue reading Have you prayed for them?

The True Happily Ever After Story

February 3, 2021January 30, 2021Leave a comment

Guest Author: Sharon White Who doesn’t savor a romantic boy-meets-girl love story with a fairytale ending? “And the two lived happily every after…” music fades.  The illusion of falling in love instantaneously with Prince Charming has been planted in the hearts of girls from fictional novels to animated Disney movies. While it is a natural … Continue reading The True Happily Ever After Story

5 Reasons to be Thankful

January 30, 20211 Comment

If you only had the things today that you THANKED God for yesterday, what would be left? This question came to life for me many years ago when my dad came to me with a proposition. "For every item you can write down that you are genuinely thankful for, I will pay you a nickel," … Continue reading 5 Reasons to be Thankful

Pause and remember

November 13, 2020November 6, 2020Leave a comment

How often do you PAUSE your day to REMEMBER GOD? Designated quiet times are so important, friends, but tonight I want to talk about something else. Think with me for a moment about the last time you paused during your workday computer to remember the Lord. Think about the last time you consciously recalled a … Continue reading Pause and remember

You become what you love

November 9, 2020November 6, 2020Leave a comment

Be cautious of what you LOVE, because it defines who you BECOME. After watching certain TV shows, listening to certain songs or podcasts, or being around certain people, it’s easy to find myself mimicking the behaviors of the things/people I love the most. Love is a wonderful thing, and God allows us to enjoy many … Continue reading You become what you love

To be holy is to be humble

November 6, 2020Leave a comment

Why is humility so important? We live in a world that is all about SELF—how you can improve, be more wealthy, look prettier, have more friends, be overall successful. If I’m honest, I spend most of my time thinking about...well...ME! But as Christians, we must change. We look at Christ’s example. And Jesus “emptied himself, … Continue reading To be holy is to be humble

True change begins with your heart

August 13, 2020Leave a comment

I woke up in the middle of the night recently. That never happens to me. Here’s why. I felt anxious and my mind was racing with all that’s happening in our world. In my dreams, I kept seeing the faces of people protesting, pleading for change. When I woke up, I flipped open my Bible … Continue reading True change begins with your heart

On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope

July 27, 2020July 27, 2020Leave a comment

By: Hannah Deaton The first dessert I ever made from scratch was peanut butter pie from my mom’s brown rooster cookbook. This is one of those family cookbooks with the cover falling off and the pages stained from sticky, ingredient covered fingers (a cookbook you can trust). To make this pie you must first prepare … Continue reading On Peanut Butter Pie & Hope
