What Happens When You Embrace Contentment

Can I ask you a question? I hope you answered a wholehearted “yes” (LOL). Okay, here goes and seriously speaking… “Do you want God’s best?” I would think that it didn’t take long at all for you to answer that question. I mean, who wouldn’t want God’s best, right? Right. Yet, I’ve discovered over the years, that in order to receive God’s best it does entail…having a heart of contentment and embracing it vs. hating it. Many of us know that being content is not [...]

Rise Up and BE a Woman God Can Use

Just know that part of that plan to becoming a woman that He can use is bearing much fruit. Listen. I know that I have written on fruit (i.e. godly character) before, [...]

When God is Silent

When God is silent, He is watching. Remember, He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He sees you and hears you. He’s just up to something that you don’t quite know or understand. However, as you continue trusting Him and aiming to please Him, believe that it’s all going to work out for your good in the end (Romans 8:28). Really believe it with everything within you! Furthermore, when you feel like He’s not there, grab tightly to His word when He says that He [...]

Have you ever had to face a task that you felt was so BIG that you felt overwhelmed just thinking about it? Are you there now? If so, I totally know what that feels like.

I wake up thinking about it. And I tend [...]

How to Give & Take Correction

This can be a tough one, any way you look at it. Mainly, because being corrected is not usually easy to handle. And giving it, can be even more uncomfortable (for some). However, in order to grow and become more mature in Christ, we must be corrected while also being able to correct someone else if necessary for their spiritual health. So in this week’s post, I’m going to be writing about how to give and take correction. Ready? Okay… The Bible tells us that [...]
