I think everyone goes through a season of loneliness at some point in their life. Every girl will experience the loneliness of being single. And as a Christian, you may experience a time when it feels as if you are the only one on earth living for the Lord. Whatever the lonely season is that you may be in, know that it is only that—a season. But loneliness actually doesn’t exist if you are a believer in the living God. There are so many verses that tell us that we are not alone. No matter when or where we feel…

Everyone has a talent. Whether it’s playing an instrument, building certain things, or being great at cooking, everyone has something they’re good at. God designed each of us with different likes and dislikes. This is what makes us unique. Because of our outlooks on different things, we are usually good at different things. This is what makes unity among us. When we are good at different things, we can use those talents to help others. You may choose to use your talent for your profession. While others may chose to use their talents for hobbies or something they may do…

The three women walked down the dusty road. They moved in silence until Naomi came to a stop. “Girls, go back to your mother’s homes,” she said. “Go back to what is familiar to you.” Soon one of Naomi’s daughters-in-law, Orpah, kissed her mother-in-law and went back to the place she knew. But the other daughter-in-law, Ruth, clung to Naomi. “But Ruth said, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my…

Her life was uprooted. She chose to leave behind the only things and place she knew. Her husband had died. And all of her hope seemed lost. But Ruth chose to do the hard thing. Ruth chose to leave her past behind and move forward. She chose to follow Naomi to a new place. Ruth chose to trust the Lord as she went into the unknown. And you know what? In the end, the Lord blessed Ruth beyond anything she could ever had imagined. Ruth’s story is told throughout the book of Ruth. And it is a beautiful story. It…

What is the meaning of life? It is a question that is probably asked by every person in every stage of life. Asking this question is good for a Christian’s walk of faith. But the answer is the most important. The answer is living with a kingdom mindset and impacting the world for the Kingdom. So what is the Kingdom and how can you live Kingdom minded? I’m glad you asked! The Kingdom is a place of righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). Some may believe that the Kingdom will come after the Lord returns. But it is here now!…

So you’re a Christian. You follow the Lord and strive to do His will. Reading your Bible and praying is something that you do daily. And you try to be as set-apart from the world as you possibly can. But you encounter unbelievers—people who necessarily don’t believe in God. How do you respond? Whether these unbelievers are seeking to know more about God or just want to be your friend, what should you do? Verses such as 2 Corinthians 6:14 may confuse the Christian girl: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or…

At the beginning of this year I decided to go on a music fast. I chose to only listen to Christian music for a month. Whenever I turned music on, it was only worship music. I was as intentional as I could be during this month and wouldn’t have changed it for the world! I grew so much during this short journey. Listening to music fills your mind with either lies or truth. Music has been proven to change our moods and direct our way of thinking. So as followers of God, we need to be careful when it comes…
