    Hanukkah is right around the corner! And there are so many traditions and activities to do during this week long feast.

    Don’t Settle: A Believer’s Take on Halloween

    October 30, 2022

    We tell each other, “Don’t settle.” We mean, “Don’t settle for less than what you want and deserve.”   Stand firm on what’s important to you.   Hold out for your truest desires.   Wait for God’s best for you.   It seems a lot of us have developed a stubbornness on that front that is necessary to keep from bending. However, we’ve learned not to settle or bend on ‘our own’ values – what’s important ‘to us.” What’s sad is that we’ve given ourselves permission in many cases to “settle” in regards to God’s’ values – what’s important to…

    Dedication Boot Camp Book Review

    October 6, 2022

    I always love a good faith-based book or Bible study. But there are so many that are on the marked today that are just full of fluff or only about surface-level biblical themes. Dedication Boot Camp: Biblical Tactics for Winning This Spiritual War is not that way. This ten chapter study will equip you with all that you need to fight the war that we are in as God’s people. There is so much evil in the world that is fighting for our attention. And we, as God’s children, need to prepare our minds, hearts, and spirits to defend ourselves…

    Dealing with Death and Grief as a Christian

    May 26, 2022

    Death is a difficult thing to experience. Even as a Christian, it’s difficult. For some reason, I think we have high expectations that we aren’t supposed to mourn or cry when it comes to death because we’re Christians. But we need to remember that while death holds no power over us, it’s still a painful reminder that this is not how we were meant to live life. We were never meant to experience death but because of sin we do.  It also becomes complicated depending on the relationship you had with the deceased and the manner of their passing. For…

    A Letter to the Tired Mama

    May 5, 2022

    Dear tired mama, No matter how many years you’ve been doing this or how many little ones you have, the tired feeling will come. I’ve only been a mama for six months and have already seen my share of struggles, giggles, and tiredness. In the back of our minds we wish we could put it off, take a break, and make it stop. But we can’t. If we stop doing all the things, life will truly stop. There are little ones who count on you, a home that needs your care, and a hundred tasks that need to be accomplished…

    March 17, 2022

    Queen Esther is such an amazing character to look at. And as women of God we can learn so much from this woman of God. Esther was bold and strong. She changed the history for God’s people. There are so many character traits of Esther’s that stand out in her story. But we are going to look at just three today. 1) Esther was inwardly beautiful and won the favor of all she met.

    For Such a Time as This (Part 2)

    March 10, 2022

    The story of Esther is a beautiful one. And in the last post we looked at her courage to do what was right and change the outcome for her people. In this post we will look at how God’s people, because of Esther’s courage, reacts to this new decree. Haman was such a prideful man and hated the Jews, Esther’s people. So he made the decree to have them all killed. But after Esther courageously told the king of this plot, they made another decree saying that the Jews could defend themselves. When God’s people heard this, you can bet…
