Are you continually needing a sign from God to keep your faith? Do you quickly start to doubt when there doesn’t seem to be anything mystical and magical happening for you? Jesus’ disciples were that way. They would have a front row seat to a divine miracle, then walk into the next problem forgetting what […]

When Jesus says your prayers can move mountains, does he mean anymountain? When he says your lack of faith causes your prayers to beineffective, is that why some of your prayers have gone unanswered? Let’s dig deeper into Mark 11:22-25 and really consider the context ofwhat Jesus is saying so we don’t treat God like […]

How successful have you been at making things happen in your life? You worked hard, you sacrificed, and you built something. Something to be proud of. You started with so little and with all your hard work, it grew to become so much more. That’s a great thing. I’m so happy for your success. You’ve […]

Have you ever wanted to help, but didn’t know how to help. You didn’t know what to say. You didn’t know what to do. Everything you had to offer seemed so totally inadequate. I bet there’s someone you really wish you could help right now. Someone is hurting, but you don’t know how to heal […]

I assure you, God wastes nothing. While he may not have personally designed all of your delays and detours, he can certainly work in them. While the hardships you face don’t always come from Heaven’s plans, they have passed through Heaven and have been deemed of value on your journey. Have you ever had plans, […]

This morning, you and I woke up to an abundance of miracles. All that is good and right and working far outweighs that which is not good, not right and not working. However, it’s quite natural for us to focus on that one achy part of our body that doesn’t feel good while there are […]

Yesterday we began the conversation of being faithful in little things so that we can be trusted with more. God is looking for faithful girls. Faithful girls who will be consistent with their commitment. Faithful girls who will show up every day and do what they said they would do. Have you accepted the challenge […]

You’ve heard of 75 Hard, right? A 75 day commitment to do a series of hard things daily. Traditionally, that list of hard things includes 2 workouts daily (one outside), eating a healthy meal plan, drinking a gallon of water, reading 10 pages, and taking a daily progress photo. Every day for 75 days. No […]

How do you receive a gift? What is your response to a wrapped box before you even know what’s inside? Today is my birthday and I am one proud woman to be 49. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by that number. I’m ALIVE! Do you have any idea what God had to bring me through […]

God offers his grace as a gift, but what is that gift to you? Let’s open our Bibles today for an unscripted study together to dig deeper into the gift of grace so we know how to use all God has given us. 2 Timothy 2:12 Corinthians 12:9Mark 9:23 Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamelaOr Facebook […]

Mark 2: 1-12, “When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a […]

Fear has whispered a story to you that maybe you have believed. When you believe things never work out for you, when you believe this too will all fall apart, when you believe you will never be good enough, you have no other option but to operate from that belief. You present yourself to the […]

Right now, today, in this exact stage and season of your life, God is preparing you for what is next. He is using all that is to make what currently is not. That which currently is not working, that which currently is not good, that which currently is not okay, is being used by the […]

Let me clue you in to my process of hearing from God each morning to bring you a new devotional. First, I work on a very tight timeline. I have one hour from the time I sit down to write until I go live. I find this restricted amount of time gets my squirrel chasing […]

There are two steadfast, unchanging, forever true statements that apply to every single day of your life. If you get these truths down deep in your soul and operate from them, you will struggle less and find joy more. Ready? God is always good. The devil is always a liar. Always. Without fail. God’s goodness […]

God wants to use you. Oh yes, he does … he has found a way to use you for his good works and, girl, he’s been trying to get you to see what he’s doing here. What he’s doing is taking the very thing you struggled with in your past to be used for good […]

Have you ever wondered why God, in all his power and majesty, made the world the way he did? Why would he create the Earth to be a round ball, then why would he make it spin? Why would he position the sun to create light and darkness, day and night? God designed our world […]

Have you ever rushed into something before you prayed about it? Yeah, me too. Have you ever worked yourself silly trying to do something and never took the time to pray about it? Me too! Have you ever not prayed about it because you’re sure God’s already doing his thing and it’s taken care of […]

We’re all looking for that ticket to happiness. What is it we are missing and how can we get it so we are always happy? Our Creator designed us to find the sweet secret of happiness within only in HIM. Scripture refers to this inner happiness as contentment. The Hebrew word was autarkeia and it […]

I’ve always dreamed of hosting a Poppy and Franny Camp for our future grandkids. (My husband is Poppy and I am Franny and yes, we have arrived to the greatest destination in life … grandparents!!!). Poppy and Franny Camp is a special time at our house where we play and intentionally make all the memories. […]

Have you ever had one of those days where you worried about all there was to worry about? One of those days where you thought about all that was wrong and could go wrong? One of those days where you dwelt on the struggle, wallowed in the hardship, consumed by the negativity? You know, one […]

What has been taken from you? What dream did you have that was taken before it was fulfilled? What opportunity were you living in, then it was gone?

Mark 6: 1-13 “Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival […]

Mark 5:28-30, “For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition. Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in […]

Did you know that water baptism as Jesus instructed is a very visual representation of what happens when we accept him as our Savior? Who we once were is to be washed away, and we are to rise up with Jesus in living a new life. Have you been rising up from how you used […]

Without the power of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives, we are constantly doing the things we know we shouldn’t do and living in a perpetual cycle of screw up and beat up. The power of our flesh is strong. We want what we want, and the flesh won’t stop nagging at you until you […]

Why is it you assume God could never use you? Why do you dismiss yourself from a greater calling on your life? Is it because you’ve never felt really good at anything? Is it because you are just a nobody? Is it because you’ve failed before, and you really wouldn’t want to fail God? Did […]

Today, we continue our search for meaning and fulfillment in life. So far, we’ve found that trying to understand everything isn’t the answer. We can never understand the things of God. It’s not our place to know everything, it’s our place to trust there’s a bigger picture we cannot yet see. We’ve also found that […]

Where do we find meaning and fulfillment for this life? We’re all searching for it, but where do we find it? King Solomon was granted the gift of wisdom by God. He was made to be the wisest man ever to live, knowing more than anyone else. Yet, he too struggled to find meaning and […]

Have you ever come to the realization that you’ve been wrong? Girl, I had something so wrong. Almost embarrassingly wrong, because I’m pretty sure I taught it to you wrong too. There’s a potential danger in plucking quotable verses out of the Bible and using them out of context. I’ve been guilty of that. I […]

It’s time for our special Friday Bible study together!We will look at the story of Jesus healing the lame man in John 4, the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13, and Elijah praying for rain in 1 Kings 18.What could these 3 things tell us?“You Can’t Stay Here”Grab your Bible, Sis, today’s episode of […]

The moment you choose to believe in Jesus as your savior, you receive the gift of God’s Holy Spirit within you. So many of God’s girls are walking around today, totally unaware of the power inside of them. It’s already been given to us, now we need to use it! Salvation comes with receiving the […]

You’ve been working the numbers in your head and the numbers tell you don’t get your hopes up. You’ve been doing the math and the math has been discouraging. There’s no way this is going to be possible for you. There’s no way there’s enough. There’s no way it will all come together. That’s just […]

This morning you miraculously woke up to a reality filled with the very things you once prayed for. Really, look around … how much of what you have today was once a prayer? And how much of that has now become so normal, so ordinary, and so totally unimpressive that you fail to recognize it […]

When you ask God to search your heart and show you what needs to change, don’t be surprised when you discover what looks good on the outside has been rotten on the inside. It’s so easy for us to dress ourselves up and play pretend nice, but God isn’t impressed by our show. God knows […]

What are your plans? For real, what have you been planning to do? Plans for your future. Plans for a move. Plans for a career. Plans for a vacation. As humans, we tend to make plans because God makes plans. We’re made in his image, so naturally, we make plans too. And your plans are […]

All of God’s creation (outside of humans), simply does what it’s created to do without thought. The plants and the animals live naturally, just as they were created. There’s no stress. There’s no worry. They represent the perfection in God’s design. So, why can’t we (God’s greatest creation, the one’s he has called his masterpiece) […]

I believe I’ve come to know something about you in our time here together. Now there’s a lot of you that is still a mystery to me, but this one thing I have come to know … You truly want to do the right thing. You want to make the right decisions. You want to […]

Have you ever thought about what it means to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus? If I’m being honest, that doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun. I like to make everything fun. I can turn the hardest work into something fun. I can take any old boring day and make […]

This morning it hit me … the overwhelming reality of what YOU might be going through. The burden you may be carrying. The weight of the decisions you may need to make. The immense pain you may be enduring. The total uncertainty you may be walking in. In this humbling moment, I realized you may […]

Right now it looks like you have no good options, but you have no idea what God is willing to do in response to your obedient next step of faith. You cannot see what radical provision and breakthrough God has aligned, and you won’t see it until you decide staying stuck here is no longer […]

If you were to draw a straight horizontal line and put an arrow on each end, this would show the infinite care and power of God. On the left side of line write: Individual Needs. Now on the right side of the line write: The Entire Universe. God’s care and power is infinitely intimate and […]

How much longer must you wait? Really, doesn’t it seem almost ridiculous at this point? I know after waiting for years and seeing absolutely nothing change, it becomes almost hard to pray about it. Is that where you are? You’re struggling to even pray for that person or this situation that you so desperately want […]

Within our breath, God has given us a divine gift. A gift that taps into the greatest of powers and deepest wisdom. Yes, right here in our breath. From the moment we were born, we’ve been doing it, without even being aware. Right now, it is happening. And today, God says, “My girl, I want […]

A single question plants a seed of doubt, and that doubt can lead to a derailed life missing the mark for which it was destined. We have an enemy in this life and his best attacks are questions. You need to be aware of the danger of his questions and be ready to respond with […]

You may be listening today because you are pursuing God, but I assure you, God pursued you first. He created you, he knows you, and he pursues you. And no doubt, he will find you! He will use absolutely anything to get to you, draw you in, and bring you into a relationship with him. […]

God has something for you here. There’s something he’s doing. Something he’s aligned just for you. However, if you don’t have room to receive what God has for you, he cannot give it to you. You cannot embrace new things if you hoard old things. I’m talking about old things like: • The settling you […]

I’ve had a recent prompting and examination of my heart after praying Psalm 139: 23 “Search me, God, and know my heart.” Here’s what I figured out … don’t ask if you’re not willing to respond to God’s findings. He went to work on bringing to light why I do what I do. Where’s my […]

I may not know what you’re going through, but I know fear has been knocking on the door of your heart and threatening to overwhelm your mind. Fear renders us incapable of taking the next steps of faith. Fear leaves us stuck. Fear keeps us in darkness. Fear robs us of the opportunity to see […]

An encounter with Jesus is no accident. He makes it his intention to meet with his chosen girls. It’s why you’re listening today. He has intentionally moved toward you to give you what you most need. What is it you need today? What have you come here seeking? He is here to meet your needs […]

Today’s unscripted Bible study looks at the story of Peter walking onwater with Jesus. Peter says he would do it if Jesus told him to, soJesus says, “come”. It’s the moment of YOU SAY YOU WOULD, BUT WOULD YOUREALLY? He was the one with “little faith”, but look at what he did with Jesus. Now […]

God is calling you to step into a higher level of living. He’s inviting you into a greater purpose for your life. Wow, that’s exciting, isn’t it? Doesn’t it feel good to know the God of the Universe has chosen you? Oh, but wait … maybe you don’t know that yet. Spoiler alert … he […]

You’ve heard of The Chosen, right? I know many of my friends have watched all 4 seasons of the show and some have even been part of the show in the episode of Jesus feeding the crowd of people. For real, we had some BIG Life girls in the literal crowd on the show. Watching […]

What do we want to do when things get really hard? We want to run. We want to escape. We want to hide. But God tells us to do quite the opposite. God tells us to RESIST. James 4:7, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” The word resist comes from 2 Greek […]

God’s goodness and mercy have been chasing you all the days of your life. Following you, pursuing you. Wherever you have been and wherever you go next, know that God’s goodness and mercy is always your companion, always available, and never in short supply. Are there stipulations to this? Like, if you’re a good person? […]

How do we expect God to fill what has no space for him? Maybe we don’t leave space for him because we don’t really expect him to show up any way. Is that where you are? You stopped asking because you’ve been disappointed? The time you’ve made for him didn’t do anything for you and […]

Has God ever made a way for you before? Have you ever stood on the edge of impossible and seen it unfold? Have you been touched by his mighty power in the past? Has his power brought about provision for you? Somehow you made it through. Have you experienced divine appointments only he could have […]

What happens after you screw up? I mean after you’ve made a horrible choice and made a real mess of things? What happens when everyone else finds out how you have failed? The answer is, well that’s up to you. It can go one of three ways from here. You could: A: Keep going down […]

In relationships, it is said men most want to be respected. And women, well we are different. Women most want to be seen. And when we feel unseen, overlooked and dismissed, our value is under attack. It’s why women act out in the craziest ways simply trying to be seen. Somebody notice me. Somebody see […]

Why the rush? Why do we jump from one thing to the next without fully enjoying either? Who set this pace you’re living in, and is it working for you? I admittedly sped through my 30’s. Looking back, it’s all a blur as I hurried my children, pushed my plans, and rushed through each task […]

This week, I’m challenging the women I mentor to dream again. To put words to the dreams which flow from their heart and partner with God in the process of creating. Really, isn’t it amazing to think that God, the creator of the entire Universe, created us and put us in the middle of it […]

What you see today may feel overwhelming, but what is unseen is far greater. What you see are the problems circling in around you … what is unseen are the solutions circling in around your problems. GOD IS BIGGER THAN THIS! Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But […]

Could you be unintentionally wrong? Could you be unintentionally doing the wrong thing, walking the wrong path, thinking the wrong thoughts, saying the wrong things, getting things unintentionally wrong.

God has been pestering me about a topic I don’t really want to talk about. But y’all he just won’t leave me alone about it, so today we’re not talking about birds. Yesterday we talked about birds because I was dodging the push to dive into this … sin. Sin – it’s all the things […]

Sometimes it feels like everything in life is against us, but that’s only because we can’t see the power of everything that is FOR us.

You know what makes me uncomfortable in a conversation? Pauses. Moments of silence. I fumble to fill those pauses with words. It’s as if I have a personal mission to never allow silence when I’m in a conversation. Do you do this as well? Are you uncomfortable in those moments of dead air? I suppose […]

Today we’re returning to the story of the stormy sea, fearful friends, and Jesus walking on water. Yesterday, we read Matthew’s account of this intentional storm and personal encounter. We saw that Jesus insisted his friends go out on the boat that night, intentionally sending them straight into a storm. And we saw that storm […]

If God sends you into it, surely it will be good, right? If he guides you there it’s part of his good plans for goodness in your life, right? And when it’s not good it must not be his will? We must have disobeyed somewhere if things got hard and we stepped into a mess. […]

This morning when I asked God what his girls needed to hear, the Holy Spirit immediately prompted me with the story of Jesus’ first miracle. Then he began showing me the depth of this miracle and how it applies precisely to YOU in the exact situation you find yourself in. The first miracle tells us […]

Join us for an unplugged bible study of John 4. REMEMBER THIS, ANYONE YOU ADMIRE WAS ORIGINALLY JUST A NOBODY! What has Jesus done for you? Talk about that! That’s your story! Why? Because there’s someone else who desperately needs that same Jesus to do that same work in their lives. And you’re the perfect […]

How confident are you in your abilities, your willpower, your courage, your strength? Are you confident you can and you will? There are a million books and podcasts on building your self-confidence. All sorts of self-help steps to create a more confident you. That’s absolutely fantastic. Confidence looks good on you. Confidence will get you […]

What’s the recipe for a successful new month of life? How do you rock this thing and make May 2024 count? What if I told you God has it clearly lined out for you in scripture? Yes, a clear plan for making May 2024 one of the best and most successful months of your life […]

You know what’s funny about anxiety and panic … it does absolutely no good. It doesn’t help you in any way. It doesn’t get you out any faster. It doesn’t change the situation. And 99% of the time, anxiety and panic really makes no sense at all. In that very moment, you’re really okay. It’s […]

You know how the enemy constantly tells you you’re not good enough … that you couldn’t possibly have what it takes. That you’re not pretty enough, smart enough, you enough, old enough, or strong enough? And you know how exhausting it is to constantly battle those negative thoughts and try to convince yourself Satan is […]

This week’s unscripted and unplugged Friday Bible study time togetherfocuses on when bad things happen to good people in Acts 27 & 28. Also, key scriptures: James 1: 2-4, “When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it anopportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested,your endurance has a […]

I wonder how often we simply settle for far less than God has available to us? We settle for less than our best and less than His best. Where have you settled in your life? I’m talking about an area where you’re playing little when you were created for BIG. An area where you backed […]

In the Old Testament, before God gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, God only spoke to his people on occasion. His word would come through a vivid dream, through a blinding light, through an angel’s visit, a talking donkey. We rarely hear of these blinding lights, angelic appearances of prophetic […]

Not everybody gets you. Not everybody likes you. Not everyone will agree with you or be on your side. Are you going to let that get you all upset and steal your joy? Even worse, are you going to let that cause you to lash out and fight back, then cause you to show up […]

We love the God of “yes” and “right now”. But isn’t it the same all-knowing, all-powerful, loving and gracious God who also says “no” and “not now”? Did you know the Holy Spirit not only opens doors, but honey, he closes doors. He redirects us down a different path for divine purposes we may not […]

God uses hardened hearts for his glory. Right now, in your life, someone has a hardened heart. Someone isn’t listening. Someone is making life ridiculously hard. And you’re asking God why. Why won’t they change? Why won’t they open their eyes and see the path they’re on and the destruction it’s leading to? Why won’t […]

God needs your cooperation today.  He’s trying to work in your life.  He’s trying to pave the way.  He’s trying to guide you into his ultimate and best plan, but he needs your to cooperate.  There’s one thing we keep doing that hinders God’s work and allows the enemy to gain a foothold.  This one […]

Who’s getting tired of doing the right thing over and over again, with seemingly minimal results? Who’s worn out from fighting when the relationship just doesn’t seem to be improving? Who’s burned out from counting the calories, from denying yourself of the deliciousness you most desire, when the progress is ever so slow and nonexistent at […]

Today, I’m going to tell you something very specific God absolutely loves to see you do.  Something you can do that brings him tremendous delight.  You would want to make God happy today, wouldn’t you?  You would want to please him. I do.  Gosh, I want to make God absolutely giddy he gave me this […]

Today’s episode is an unscripted bible study of Genesis 6-8. Join me! 6 Then the people began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them. 2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women[a] and took any they wanted as their wives. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put […]

What could cause a life to seem no longer worth living? What could cause a miraculous creation to decide one more day just isn’t possible? It would be so easy to dismiss ourselves from this conversation, assuming our families are immune from that darkness. It would never happen to us. We’re too happy, too blessed, […]

Does your mind carry you away in fearful thoughts of darkness? Is the “what if” scenario continually playing out leading to worst case? What if this all falls apart?What if I fail again?What if everything goes wrong? This is completely normal, right? We all have those fleeting thoughts … but honey, there’s a difference between […]

Have you ever not asked because the answer could be no? No one likes the answer no. As a little girl, I loved chewing gum. Like it was nearly an obsession. My Aunt CC was the gum bearer of the family. She was one of those cool aunts who never had children of her own, […]

My time here in Bali has been nothing short of life changing. I’ve witnessed a devotion to family, a kindness to others, unparalleled driving skills, and a reverent faith in action. While their faith is different than my own, I’m moved to love like they love, serve like they serve, and recognize God in every […]

Our scripture for today is I Peter 5:7. You’ve likely heard this scripture before “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” In my studies I came across this scripture using The Living Bible and honestly it rocked my world with a whole new meaning. “Let him have all your worries and […]

Just how safe are you playing it? I know when you’ve been let down before it’s hard to trust. I know it’s easiest to settle into accepting what is instead of seeking more. But honey, if you’re not seeking it, it’s not going to come knocking on your door. Whatever you’ve settled for in your […]

When Jesus walked this Earth, he was God in human form. He was still all-knowing and all-powerful. He had the power of Heaven and an army of angels at his fingertips. He was lacking nothing, yet he chose not to walk his path alone. He gathered friends and shared the journey with them. Have you […]

How much of your world is quite simply ordinary and slightly boring at this moment? Did you wake up to another day of life where everything is just normal? How absolutely EXTRAORDINARY! Don’t miss the fact that uneventful days are a tremendous blessing in disguise. These are days when a million events COULD go wrong, […]

There is a hill outside the city of Jerusalem called Golgotha or also called Calvary, both words meaning skull. The hill was given it’s name because of it’s shape of a skull. Do you think that was an accident? It was here on top of this skull shaped hill that Jesus was crucified on the […]

Good Friday, the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus. The personal sacrifice of One for all. For me. For you. On this day we remember Jesus carrying that cross for us. We remember him willfully stretching out his arms as they nailed him to that cross, signifying “this much.” This is how important you […]

We have one last stop in our study of the final week of Jesus’ life here on earth, before arriving to the cross tomorrow. One more important lesson to teach this week. I so wanted to tell you all about the foot washing. I wanted to tell you about the last meal with Jesus. I […]

This week we’ve been looking at the final week of Jesus’ life. He knew this was it, so everything he did was with tremendous meaning and intention. On the final night, he prayed a prayer that my human mind has trouble comprehending. He asks if God can save me and you in any other way […]

We continue our journey through the Holy Week, seeking what was mostimportant to Jesus in his final week of life. Today we study thewithered fig tree and the mountain moved in faith. This is a veryspecial, unplugged devotional, so grab your bible and a cup of coffee,and let’s chat about these lessons taught by Jesus […]

This is the week leading up to Easter. The final week of Jesus’ life … and he knew it. What would you do if you knew it were your last week? What would you do on Monday? On Tuesday? On Wednesday? Who would you spend your time with? Where would you go? What would you […]

Have you ever asked God for one thing and you feel like you get something totally different? Have you started to question Jesus’ word where he says “ask and ye shall receive”? Yeah Lord, I’ve been asking but what I’ve been receiving has been disappointing in comparison to what I was expecting. The Israelites were […]

Psalms 18:39, “For You have girded me with strength for battle.” May I speak some powerful truth into your life this morning? YOU ARE A WOMAN TRAINED BY THE KING TO BE A WARRIOR. TRAINED TO FACE THE VERY BATTLE IN FRONT OF YOU! Every struggle you’ve overcome, every hardship, every setback and every trial […]

Mark 6 in my bible is titled “Jesus Rejected In Nazareth” Was Jesus the truth? YesWas he who he said he was? YesWas he doing good? YesAnd yet he was rejected. And you’re shocked that you have been rejected? Surprised that you weren’t chosen – Passed over again. Can’t believe someone said that about you. […]

Our God is not only the God of miracles, but he is the God of the unexpected. The God of surprises. The God of unfolding goodness you could have never imagined on your own. But, in order to experience this goodness, faith will be required. A strong stomach to handle the ups and downs that […]

There’s so much goodness inside of you, there’s the potential to change countless lives. That goodness comes in the form of your love. Your love, and your ability to love are under attack. The enemy knows the impact your love could make so guess what does that nasty little sucker do … he works to […]

Are you available? To be available means you are open to something. Open to receive. Open to go. Open to used. Are you open, or are you occupied? Occupied with the busyness of life and all you have to do. God has a question for you today. He’s not concerned with your ability, he wants […]

Have you ever given up on something in the past and just wish you would have kept going? Where would you be today if you wouldn’t have given up? Oh dang! Healthier, stronger, further along perhaps? It’s easy to imagine how life could be if we would have stuck with the things we gave up […]

God continually aligns opportunities for his girls … the problem is, his girls continually dismiss themselves from the opportunities. God isn’t dismissing you … you are. You’re talking yourself out of doing the things he is willing to make possible. You’re backing down from battles God has already assigned as a victory. You’re assuming you’re […]

Morning. The beginning of a new day. A welcoming of things which have never been before. An opportunity for that which we have never, and will never, experience again. Morning. The time when God’s mercies are new. A time when God responds to our human need personally, in a heavenly way. An offering of life. […]

If you were to launch this year, what would that mean for you? If you were to go all-in, holding nothing back, really have your take off, and break free from the shallows of living, what would life look like for you? Within scripture is a story of Jesus calling a fisherman to launch. Simon […]

When you think about the future, do you feel anxiety? Well let me tell you, thinking about the future is not your problem … it’s trying to control the future that causes your anxiety. God has not given us the power to control what comes next, so assuming that false position over our future creates […]

You know those problems you’ve been dealing with your whole life? Problems maybe your mama dealt with, and her mama before her … Problems you really don’t want your children to have to deal with too … Well, God wants to tell you something about those problems. Something about those things that have been running […]

We want it all right now, but right now is rarely God’s timing. God doesn’t require more time, yet he usually takes time. Why is that? Why does the God who CAN create anything and everything in an INSTANT with one word, take so much time to do the things we’re waiting on? Why does […]

If we don’t bring it to God, we don’t get peace. Why on earth would we choose to sit in our overwhelm and anxiety, holding on instead of bringing it to God? It doesn’t make sense, yet that’s what we do. We forfeit the gift of peace over and over again as we play the […]

What is the cost of worry? What price do you pay for negativity? What’s the fee for a little gossip and a little envy? Have you checked the price tag attached to that self-doubt? That stress is not on clearance. That drama is astronomically expensive! Everything you think, everything you say, and everything you do […]

Within you is power you have never tapped into. Within you is potential you do not know of. Within you is a destiny you cannot imagine. Your entire life’s journey is discovering this power, living up to this potential, and moving towards this destiny. But it’s not easy. It’s never a continual and steady pace […]

There is a powerful request we can ask of God that may just change the trajectory of our lives. This prayer could change how you see your entire existence and how you live your days. A prayer that gives perspective on the brevity and preciousness of life, and the eternity we were created for. Here’s […]

You’ve been playing out a big battle in your head, preparing for hardships that haven’t even happened and struggle you haven’t even stepped into. You’re gearing up for whatever it is you face to be hard and every scenario you imagine grows harder and harder. But my sister, what if it doesn’t have to be […]

Have you ever wondered why Jesus did the specific miraculous acts he did during his three and a half years of ministry on Earth? How many supernatural acts of divine power were unleashed as he walked the streets and encountered the people? We have absolutely no idea. There’s no telling how many personal and private […]

I’ve been studying the book of John this week. Every chapter is a new wild story of the next crazy thing Jesus steps right in the middle of. The accounts of Jesus healing the sick, making the lame to walk and the blind to see, raising the dead, miraculously multiplying food, walking on the waves, […]

We’ve all heard the nightmare stories of child stars who become wildly rich and famous and grow up to live a wreck of a life. We’ve seen the stories unfold. In a world where kid’s primary goal in life is to become famous, we know where that road can lead. This is the result of […]

Today I’m going to share with you the sweetest scripture I’ve ever read. A scripture so powerful in its sweetness that it stopped me in my tracks. When I read it yesterday in a post, I thought for sure it wasn’t really an actual scripture. This couldn’t have been in my Bible all this time […]

God can blow your mind … but first your mind must be available for him to blow. God wants to show up and do the impossible on your behalf, but dang girl you’ve been so distracted and busy that’s he’s having a hard time getting your attention! He’s been over here doing miraculous works for […]

Out of a desire to do great things for God, do you ever get a little jealous that some people get to do seemingly bigger and better things than you? Isn’t it funny how our servants heart can get a bit warped in serving and make it more about us than about God? I’m going […]

How hard is it for you to forgive yourself? Are you carrying around the guilt and shame of something you did years ago, and it still eats away at you? Here’s what God asked me to say to you today: “My girl, I forgave you the moment you asked for forgiveness. Your feelings of unforgiveness […]

I once heard that God cares more about my character than my comfort. I’ve found that to be true. My sister, if you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation right now, it’s because God loves you too much to let you stay the same. It is out of total and complete love for you that […]

What would you need to do to make God love you? What area of your life would you need to clean up so that God could bless you? How could you make yourself better so that God would choose you for something good? These were questions that used to rule my days. I was always […]

One of my earliest introductions to the power of God’s word came through Joyce Meyer. Up until then, it was just a book and I was supposed to WANT to read it, but I didn’t really want to. I read to check a box. I read to look the part. I read thinking it would […]

This week, we’re going to do something different. Each day this week, we will be in the book of Romans for a deeper study. Over the past few days, God has been drawing me in to these specific scriptures and making them come to life like never before. I’m excited to share all of this […]

Nobody loves having their plans ruined. Nobody loves seeing all they’ve been working on completely fall apart. It feels discouraging. It feels overwhelming. But what if we’re just looking at it wrong? What if all that’s happening here with your ruined plans and failed attempts is heavenly things interrupting earthly things? Think about that! You’re […]

God has an invitation for you. He’s inviting you to be part of his great plan for your life. He’s inviting you to be part of his work that is bigger than anything you could ever ask, think, or imagine. Now, here’s the thing about his invitation … you’re not going to fully understand it […]

Have you ever experienced God’s math in your life? Starting with so little and it becoming so much more. I was introduced to God’s math by a woman with more faith than I have ever seen. In fact, her faith was so big, even me, the overly optimistic one said, “Girl, now this isn’t realistic.” […]

Have you ever noticed how incredibly hard it is to get yourself to do what you know you should do today? Gosh, we struggle with showing up as our best selves and giving our best effort. For some of us, it’s been so long since the best version of us showed up to live a […]

Whatever it is you are needing, God can provide it in an instant. Whatever it is you’re fighting, God can clear it immediately. He can … so why hasn’t he? Why isn’t God acting immediately? Why are you still waiting? Why does it feel like you’re waiting in a long line to get to God, […]

God is the giver of this new month of life. Our written goals are our thank you letter to him. We say thank you in the most genuine of ways … we tell him all the ways we intend to use, savor, and enjoy the gift. Isn’t this a perspective shift on your goals? It’s […]

Today we welcome a new day of life and a new month of life. The ultimate gift has arrived at your front door. The clean slate of a new month is here, welcome to February! Who gave you this gift and what will your response be? This day didn’t just show up by accident. You […]

Here we are, the final day of January. It’s winter. Winter is the season where everything is generally harder. It’s harder to find that motivation. It’s harder to get up out of that warm and cozy bed. It’s harder to make ourselves do the things we said we would do. Maybe this has been a […]

If you had any idea what you had inside, you would never again hold back. You would never settle for a dang thing less than God’s absolute best if you knew. You’ve been going through life driving 35 and all this time you have a rocket inside. More than a rocket, you have the power […]

Our God is a loving and generous God. He has provisions and blessings aligned for you that will absolutely blow your mind. You cannot begin to fathom his good plans for your life. Promises you haven’t even dared to believe yet, already set into motion just for you. But there’s one thing you need to […]

Have you become so hyper focused on the challenge, that you’ve overlooked all the victories? Yes, we all fight our battles, but my sister, God has already declared us more than conquerors with complete and overwhelming victory! Waking up overwhelmed, dreading the day, and miserable in our journey is NOT God’s good plan for your […]

Where do you turn for daily guidance on what decisions to make? Are you checking your horoscope? Are you listening to your favorite influencer on the TikTok? Are you asking all your Facebook friends for input? Are you waiting to see if you feel like doing anything before you make any decisions? Scripture tells us […]

God has a job to do. He’s on a mission. When mountains stand in his way he has the power to move them. God has a plan, and it’s a ridiculously good plan. His plan covers you and your family. His power can move your mountain of impossible. But, understand this, although it’s God’s job, […]

What you see today is only the beginning of what God is going to do. Where you are today is only the beginning of where God will take you. There’s so much more than what you see and know today. It’s like the tip of the iceberg above the water, versus the massive formation below […]

Today is the fourth Monday of this new year. For most, it already feels old. You started this year with a plan to make progress, but have you? Really, are you making progress? Or are you held back? What holds you back, my sister? If there’s a world of potential within you, what is keeping […]

This unscripted devotional time combines two of this week’s teachings to reveal the offer of our calling on the table. Jesus hopes you will say yes!

So, you’ve messed this thing up. You’ve failed. You’ve fallen short. You’ve disappointed yourself. What’s a girl to do with a mess like that? Are we to live in regret and shame? Are we to dismiss ourselves from all future goodness because of our past mistakes? Are we to assume God’s cancellation of the good […]

My prayer for you this morning is that God would fill you up. Maybe you’re running on empty and your tank so desperately needs to be filled. Where are you empty? Is it your love tank? Is it your energy tank? Is it your hope tank? Is it your courage tank? Where do you need […]

We’ve all heard the saying “misery loves company”. It’s true isn’t it? Well, let me tell you something else… Misery might love company, but so does joy. And joy throws much better parties. You get to choose the party you throw and the party you attend. There are pity parties and there are joy parties […]

Hear God loud and clear today as he says, “I won’t force you.” God will not force you into the good plans he has for your life. He won’t force you to step into the overflowing abundance he has aligned for you. He won’t force you to accept divine opportunities for a greater purpose than […]

Let’s go back to what God showed us in episode #1546 “That’s a Problem”, and dig deeper. The majority of us have a real problem accepting and loving ourselves. Let’s make this real clear … this is a problem. And it’s a problem for Jesus! You will be known by your love and your love […]

Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense to try again. You’re tired of trying, aren’t you? Believing this could change and things could be different is exhausting. So, you’ve settled here, made peace with the unhappiness, and accepted the fact that this is where you are and where you’re going to stay. This marriage isn’t getting […]

There’s a reason you feel alone sometimes. There’s a reason you have a tendency to run and hide when you’re struggling. There’s a reason you place yourself on the sidelines and watch from a distance. There’s a reason why you check out. Here’s the reason … the enemy is at work! 1 Peter 5:8, “The […]

Are you in a place where you are seeking God for what to do next? Seeking his guidance on your journey? Waiting for him to show you where to go from here … well maybe it’s not as much about WHERE you go, as it is HOW you go. How are you showing up today? […]

Jesus says we will be known by our love, and our love is to make him known. So, every day, we show up and we try to love. Darn, we try. Y’all know, some people are easier to love than others. Some just test the Jesus in you. I bet you can think of a […]

What has the enemy taken from you? Has he taken your ability to dream? I mean straight up stolen the things you used to get excited about for your future! Has the enemy taken your energy and left you dreading the day and wishing away the hours until you can go back to bed? Has […]

What you’re going through doesn’t have to change who you are. Don’t let these circumstances get in your head. Don’t let this situation change what you believe about yourself. What you believe about you must be non-circumstantial. No matter where you are, no matter what is going on around you, who you are must be […]

It’s day 3 of this brand new year of life, and there’s a large percentage of us already disappointed in our choices and progress. We wanted to be better this year, but so far, we’re still struggling. We wanted to make changes, but dang if those old ways don’t hold on tight. And for those […]

This year, God wants to help you see things you’ve never seen before. He wants to give you the clarity and focus you have lacked in the past. This time, he wants you to get it, truly get it, then run with it! If you want this year of life to be different, be open […]

All good will come under attack. In a garden of beautiful potential, there will be weeds. To assume otherwise would be naive. You woke up this morning in a garden of beautiful potential. Here, in this year, supernatural things can happen in your life. Things you have been waiting YEARS for have the potential of […]

Today, we ask the final question before we begin writing our goals for the New Year. Remember, if you want God-inspired goals, you have to invite God into the process, ask him questions, then listen for his answers. Each episode this week, we’ve spent time doing exactly that. So far, we’ve asked 6 questions to […]

Our Big Life Goal Setting Broadcast is this Saturday! And you can watch for FREE!!!! I’ll send you the zoom link, the goal sheets, and reminders all leading up to the live event this weekend, and yes, it will all come personally and directly from me! I would absolutely LOVE to connect with you and […]

Tapping into the guidance of the Holy Spirit is much like using the GPS in your car. The GPS knows precisely where you are, and where all other things are. However, for it to guide you to your destination, you have to make your request. GPS, I want to go to the TJ Maxx. GPS, […]

I am a firm believer in goals. I’ve dedicated my life to teaching women how to set and achieve goals that will honor the fullness of life God created them for. Goals that will pull them out of the ruts of life and push them toward the overflowing abundance their creator has available for them. […]

God has favor for you. That means approval, complete acceptance, unmerited kindness and ridiculous goodness, is directed at you from the Almighty. However, faith is required to receive favor. Favor doesn’t always show up looking like something you should be giddy over. Favor often first begins with frustration. Sometimes being highly favored by the Almighty […]

I randomly heard a song yesterday. A song I’ve never heard on the radio. It’s never been on a single playlist on my Spotify. Yet, it was brought to me in the seemingly most odd way. But don’t we know, it’s not odd, it’s God! I dozed off on the couch yesterday afternoon while watching […]

Give yourself a point for each one that describes you today: You still have to wrap gifts. You still have to plan a big meal. You still have to buy a crapton of groceries. You still have to clean your messy house before company arrives. You still have to buy a few last minutes gifts. […]

I have a word for you today. Like, literally, a word. One word that when I heard it it stopped me in my tracks. I have a feeling it will do the same to you. Are you ready? Here’s the word: RESURRENDER Yes, resurrender. It’s releasing once again what you have taken back. What is […]

Today’s unscripted devotional prompts us to pause and ask, are we running in fear or following in faith? Jesus leads from the front.

What is holding you back from living a life of full surrender to God? For most of us, there’s something. Something we just can’t quite seem to let go of. Something we hold on to, but what we don’t understand is whatever we’re holding on to is holding us back. Jesus met a young man […]

People can say the stupidest things. People can do the most hurtful things. Why is that? Have you been trying to understand why some people talk bad about you? Have you been trying to process why some people have treated you so poorly? Have you been trying to make sense of why they did that […]

How will you get through what you have to go through? How will your family ever be okay again? How will you overcome this setback? How will your heart heal? How will you know what to do next? How will it ever happen? How? Somebody tell me how. If you’re in a place wondering HOW, […]

What can God do with nothing … everything. A blank canvas is no problem for our God. And neither is a messy, jacked up, torn up canvas. Hey, God can wipe that clean in an instant. The story of creation shows God’s power to create from nothing. It shows his vision in darkness. It reveals […]

What if God saw you. I mean really saw you. What if he knows precisely where you’ve been, where you are now, and what is ahead of you? What if he absolutely delights in your journey and believes in you with every step? My friend Bob Goff once painted a mental image for me that […]

What can God do with the absence of your perfection? What can he do with the void of your confidence in what to do next? What can he do with the nothingness of your ability to fix the messes you find yourself in? Really, what can God do with nothing? Where can he go from […]

Whatever it is you are going through, God has a blessing right here for you. He’s not waiting to bless you on the other side of this, he’s meeting you right here with overflowing provisions and sweet blessings. Oh how I pray you notice them today. Dare to see what God is offering you here, […]

Today, God is leading us to a battle to teach us a lesson. It’s a lesson we need. A lesson that will help us see our struggles from a different perspective. A lesson that will help us appreciate where we are, even when it’s not where we wanted to be. The battle is between the […]

Within you are likely places that have dried up. Old dreams and hopes that have died. What was once exciting and worth waking up for has become ordinary and unimpressive. Maybe life feels less than exciting right now. You’re droopy, low energy, withering away, and honestly you hate the fact that you’re nothing like you […]

Have you ever listened to a familiar song and suddenly had it hit different? Like the words just came to life and moved you as never before. That was me yesterday. Early on Sunday mornings while living here on the island, I take my dog down to the water to swim. The rest of the […]

As humans, we have a unique way of turning a blessing into a burden. We assume responsibilities never meant to be our own. We tie strings and conditions making simple things fussy and good things overwhelming. And we’re left with trying to rush through what we should be enjoying, dreading what we should be celebrating, […]

Is it possible for you to impress God? I mean really set yourself apart in his eyes with your good works. Can you do that? Well, let me tell you something, I’ve tried. Dang, I’ve tried. I can’t count how many boxes I’ve checked just to follow the rules and be a good girl worthy […]

God has something for you exactly where you are. Right here, in this season, in this place, he’s doing something. But honey, if you’re just trying to run away from it, escape it, and rush through to the next thing, you’re missing what he’s doing here. I heard a story of a woman who refused […]

Here, within this hardship, God is being good to you. Here, in the middle of this mess, God’s blessings are pouring out on you. Here, in this season of life you never wanted to be in, God is being faithful in ways you have never seen before. You’ve never seen it before, because you’ve never […]

Has the enemy been working overtime on you with discouragement? Do you feel like nothing is working, and nothing will ever work? Did you wake up this morning feeling a little more hopeless than you did yesterday because there are absolutely no signs of change, no signs of improvement, and no proof of God’s power […]

On this Friday Rewind, we go back to the story of the 10 leapers being healed, and we dig deeper to see how entitlement blocks our praise.

Every morning when we wake up, we get to choose our attitude. Any attitude we wish is available for the taking. We can put it on and wear it the entire day, and just like the right pair of shoes can change the outfit, the right attitude can change your experience. Most days we wake […]

Prayer. Are you doing it right? Do you know the right prayers? Are your prayers getting through? As a little girl, I was raised in a home that knew nothing of God. Prayer was reserved for before our family meal on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Church was Easter only. One year, I specifically remember being […]

What if this doesn’t work out the way you hoped it would? What if God doesn’t do for you what you asked him to do? What if you end up looking like a fool with this faith? Let me tell you, Sis, God is calling you to a place where you’re willing to look like […]

What is it that you want? It’s a desire of your heart, not a need in your life. You don’t need it. You don’t absolutely have to have it. But, you want it. Have you talked to God about it? This past weekend at our BIG Life Retreat in San Antonio, we each shared our […]

In today’s episode, we return for a double dip on two lesson’s God taught us earlier in the week. Let’s go back and see how God gets us out of our Egypt, and how God keeps us from creating our next Egypt ourselves.

What could an ordinary girl like you possibly do for an extraordinary God like ours? How could he ever use you when you feel like you have absolutely nothing special to offer. Let me tell you something, God has chosen you. You are the one he wants to use. Why? Because you have precisely what […]

Have you seen the latest trend in tattoos flying around social media? It’s a fork. Yes, the eating utensil. No additional wording or detail, just a fork. The moment I saw it, I knew exactly what it was. I had heard the story behind the fork. In fact, it was one of the first devotionals […]

So you have some bright ideas and good plans, and you’re desperately trying to get God to co-sign on the whole deal. We’re like, “God, if you’ll just jump in on this, it will all work out.” You need a co-signer on your crazy, and girl, you’re just crazy enough to think God can be […]

What is it that is holding you back from living in the fullness of the life you were created for? What keeps you from stepping into all God has for you? Oh, if you could only catch a glimpse of the vision God has for your life. If you could only imagine for one moment […]

Wow, God has shown us some amazing things in this week’s devotionals. Today, let’s go back to one particular teaching and go deeper. You heard about the one “but God” moment where God used all intended harm for good in Joseph’s life, but what about the other 2 “but God” moments that led up to […]

It Can’t Be Perfect No body likes the storms of life that come our way. No body likes hardship and struggle. There’s not a single soul who woke up this morning saying, “gosh, I hope everything is ridiculously hard today!” And yet, the storms of life come, don’t they? We all face those ridiculously hard […]

So, you had something good working, and it stopped working. Things were coming together for you, then it all fell apart. You thought it was all going this way, then it took a drastic, seemingly undesirable turn that way. And honestly, you don’t want what you’re left with. You want what you wanted, and now […]

Whatever it is you’ve gone through, whatever has wounded you, caused you pain, or caused you to question, you have to know God has a plan of total and complete redemption for you. However, you’ve got to walk through it. You can’t choose to stay stuck in what happened. You can’t dwell in what they […]

You don’t see it now, but God is supernaturally guiding you through the most seemingly natural circumstances to bring you to greater purposes. Right now, it just looks like work. Right now it just looks like problems. Right now it just looks like a mess. But you’re looking at the back side of a work […]

Today’s devotional is a special unplugged look back at what God has shown us this week in 3 powerful messages on help, regret and power.

Are you in a situation that you feel completely helpless to do anything about? It’s someone else’s mood making work so difficult. It’s someone else’s choices creating chaos in your home. Whew, don’t you just hate it. Don’t you just wish you could make them act right? Don’t you wish you could change them? Wouldn’t […]

A recent study shows that 90% of adults have deep regrets. It’s something we did or something we didn’t do that just eats away at us. That study also shows the more we focus on that regret, the worse our quality of life seems to get. If we get stuck in regret, our life spirals. […]

On Sunday afternoons I ride my adorable turquoise beach cruiser bicycle with the pink basket decorated in pompoms a little over 10 miles to a coffee shop here on the island. It’s my weekly escape to sit and be by myself and read. Yesterday’s bike ride was different. There were storms. I went any way. […]

Nobody likes being disappointed. Nobody wishes for things to just fall apart. Nobody wants to be in the hardest time of their life. But, we all find ourselves there at some point. We all eventually face the news we most didn’t want to hear. We all get let down. We all watch something precious fall […]

When God tells you to do something, what should you do? You should do it! But what if it doesn’t make sense? What if you really don’t want to? What if it’s hard and it’s scary? You should do it anyway! Easy to say, right? Hard to do. Right now, at this very moment, my […]

Have you been hurt by Church? Me too. Is it a reason to pull away from God? It could be, but it shouldn’t be. You know what Church is? Church is a gathering of totally imperfect people who claim to know they need Jesus. They’re not always going to get it right. They’re not always […]

Owning a home comes with some serious negatives. If it’s broken, it’s on you. The moment that refrigerator starts making that funky noise, you start stressing. The moment you see that leak, you’re worried about how you’re going to pay for it. And have you ever noticed bad news seems to come in threes? The […]

What is it that you just can’t handle not knowing? You feel like you’ve just got to figure it out, if it kills you. You have to understand it, and until you understand it, you can’t find any peace in it. You have to know how it’s all going to work out, and until you […]

A large audience was once asked if they had ever struggled with procrastination. 98% of them said yes. 2% of them were still thinking about their answer. Why do we delay? Why do we put off until tomorrow what we could do today? Let me tell you why … because tomorrow sounds easier. Tomorrow lifts […]

Our entire lives its as if we’re being drug around by all that screams for our attention. Be here, do this, stress about me, worry about that. It’s a never ending vicious cycle of life vying for our attention. We’re drug through our days by one thing after the next that feels most important in […]

We all mess up. We all fall short of the glory of God. We all get it wrong sometimes. But let me tell you about God’s grace. Let me tell you about a mercy that covers every ounce of mess up, every hint of shortcoming, and every wrong you will ever do. You are covered […]

Do you ever watch a movie and scream at the characters because you know exactly where this story is going? You’re yelling, “Girl, no! Don’t do that! Can’t you see what’s going to happen next?” But girl just keeps going, doesn’t she? She doesn’t listen to your screaming at the TV, and she finds herself […]

What could you do that would make you righteous in the sight of God? Have you done it? Have you done it good enough? Have you done it often enough? If you died today and stood in judgement before God, would you have done enough? Are you sure? And if there’s something you could do […]

Since tomorrow is my birthday, we’re going to do something totally different. I’m going to tell you the story behind the scenes. How did all of this start? What did God do to bring me here to be talking to you? Quite simply, I was straight up tricked! I share all of this today so […]

God is always speaking to us. His Spirit is continually guiding and prompting us. His eye never leaves us and a way is forever being made for our next step within God’s divine will. But sometimes the lines get crossed and we’re not sure if that’s God talking to us or something else. How do […]

I just went fishing in the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys, and on our boat, we caught the most interesting looking fish. It looked much like a shark, however on the top of it’s head, instead of the trademark fin of a shark that terrifies us all swimming in the water, it had an […]

I wonder how much of the journey you are on is a lesson in trusting God with TODAY? Success is trusting God with this day, and failure is worrying about tomorrow. Is this your journey? Is this what God is teaching you? Can you see the provision of today, enjoy the provision of today, without […]

Does your work feel unimpressive and unimportant? Like you’re doing all of this for a paycheck that is gone in a month, but it’s making no impact. Or even worse, you don’t get paid for all this work! Like you could disappear and no one would really miss you. Do you ever question why you […]

The week recap. Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamelaFind out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

This chapter of your life may be similar to the chapter of life I currently find myself in. This is the chapter best defined as “Now, I let God be God.” Let’s just let God be God here. Let’s let him work some things out while we get out of the way. Let’s get out […]

How long after you order something on Amazon do you wait to begin tracking your package? Have you ever been tracking your package, and on the day of it’s scheduled delivery it shows “Order Is Delayed”. Then, for days there’s zero progress. No movement. No further updates. Just “package in transit” for over a week. […]

Did you get your hopes up that God was going to do something for you, then it just got worse? You thought he was going to save your job, then the whole company shut down. You thought he was going to provide the money for the minor repairs on your car, then the whole engine […]

God will do what only God can do. He will do it with what seems like not enough. He will do it when it seems most unlikely. He will do it through your obedience, then you will see you were always covered, always cared for, and always provided for. In fact, hasn’t he already done […]

Do you ever feel like you’re 11 months pregnant with a dream? Not 9 months, 11 months. Miserably overdue. The time for the birth of your dream has way since passed and now you’re wondering if this whole time you were just bloated. Like you made this whole thing up. You were never good enough. […]

How good are you at making choices? How many clothes are laying piled on your closet floor because you struggle choosing what to wear? Is meal planning nearly impossible for you because a plan would require a decision and you’re just not sure if you would rather eat tacos or bury your face in a […]

The source of the majority of our struggles in this life is a mistaken identity. We’ve forgotten who we really are, and taken on the identity of someone we were never intended to be. We were never made to be lazy. Never made to be overwhelmed. Never made to be so worried. We were never […]

Psalm 37:23 “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Does the Lord direct the steps of everyone? No, this scripture is very specific. He directs the steps of the godly. So what exactly does being godly look like? How can I be godly today and in […]

Life isn’t fair … but God is faithful. You can spend all the days of your life trying to make sense of nonsense and it still won’t make sense. You could also spend all the days of your life searching for God’s faithfulness and you will find it in abundance. He never promised it would […]

Today’s devotional is a special, unplugged “girl chat” reviewing what God has shown us this week and pause to ask, “what is God saying to you?” Through the lessons of David with the lions and bears, and Ruth with her hardship and struggle, we see God’s providence working in the natural to bring about his […]

Here’s the good news … you will never know how low you could have gone without God, because he swooped in and rescued you. You will never know how bad it could have gotten without him, because you have never been without him. You will never know the person you would have been without God, […]

Here it is today … we reveal the secret to a good attitude. Listen up, if you’re raising little human beings, this could be the best parenting advice you ever receive. Advice that also applies directly to your own life as well. Toil or spoil. Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 “I know that there is nothing better for […]

If you had only 1 year left to live, what would you do? You would take that vacation, right? You would spend all the time with the people you love. You would make the memories and capture the moments. What if you only had 1 month to live? You would leave for that vacation tomorrow, […]

High Providence In Low Places You have decisions to make and you desperately don’t want to screw this up. The time has come to choose, but what if you choose wrong? Or what if someone else chooses wrong for you? Others hold the power to say yes or no to you, and what if they […]

What is it God has prompted you to do, but now you want to quit? What is it you were once passionate about, now you’re just over it? This is too hard … It’s taking too long … You don’t feel good enough to continue … But, God’s not letting you go, is he? He […]

Whatever it is you’re afraid of, is afraid of you. If what you’re afraid of is a scheme from the pits of hell sent to discourage you, distract you, or defeat you, just know the truth is, the pits of hell are afraid of you. If what you’re afraid of is a plot of the […]

Wednesday. It’s the middle of the week. The 13th of September, the middle of the month. We’re just in the middle. In the middle of what we started but has not yet ended. Nobody likes the middle. Let’s get to the end already! The hardest years of marriage are said to be years 7 and […]

Have you ever been looking for something specific so intently, that you totally miss it? You miss the forest for all the trees. You are looking for that future husband. Everywhere, you’re looking. Desperately looking. But where is that man hiding? Clearly he’s lost somewhere because he’s not willing to ask for directions, so you’re […]

Today, you’re taking steps. Steps that are leading you somewhere. If you look down the path you’re currently on, is it taking you where you want to be in your life? Are you on a trajectory that even slightly resembles the good plans God has for you? And what do you do if, in your […]

Are your thoughts ruining your day? Negative, overwhelming, fearful, anxious thoughts can wreck havoc on a perfectly good day of life. These thoughts make you feel anxious, and that feeling becomes a literal limitation on our abilities to even function. Here’s the problem. We’ve made peace with feeling anxious. We’ve claimed it. It’s now yours. […]

How is it that some people claim to hear from God all the time, and you feel like you never hear from him? How is it some people just seem to have this big, bold, blind faith that leads them into miraculous unfoldings, and you’re struggling to know what to cook for dinner? How do […]

There’s only so much you can do here, right? You’re limited on what falls within your power, and honestly you feel like you’ve done about all you can do. So now you’re frustrated because even with doing all you can do, nothing is happening. Nothing is changing. And you’re beginning to lose hope. Is that […]

Look at your schedule today. All you have to get done in such a limited time. Do you feel rushed? Me too. It’s funny how we translate busyness to importance. If I have all of this to do, I must be important, right? Let’s compare our to-do list for the day, and the one with […]

What has your self-doubt stolen from you? What opportunities were divinely aligned for you, but you were too afraid to step into because you didn’t feel good enough? What are you missing in your life right now solely because you talked yourself out of showing up for it? Honey, you settled. You settled for less […]

God has blessed you with the opportunity to live a big, beautiful life. He has brought you through the unimaginable. He has made a way where there was no way. He has strengthened you, equipped you, and blessed you. Now, what happens from here, for the most part, is up to you. What will you […]

Why doesn’t God just do what you think he should do when you think he should do it? Why do we have to wait? Why do things get worse before they get better? Why can’t God just swoop in and fix this right now? As I was writing these questions this morning, God’s spirit immediately […]

Have you heard about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. We all know about triggers. That little thing that just sets you off. A reminder of a painful memory, causing you to react negatively. If you experienced a traumatic event, you likely remember certain sounds, smells, or sights related to that experience. […]

Are you dragging around the regret and shame of something in your past right into your future? Does God’s forgiveness not cover this? Can this not be taken from you? Are you doomed to have this hanging over you forever? Here’s the thing about sin that we often miss. God doesn’t hate sin because we’ve […]

Not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone is going to get you or choose you. You can’t make everybody happy, girl, you’re not a taco! So, how do you continue to walk boldly in your purpose when others aren’t walking with you? How do you confidently show up as your authentic self when […]

Where you are today is not where you will stay. Who you are today is not all you will become. God is in the divine business of making you more than you could imagine and taking you to places beyond your wildest dreams. Who you have been does not define you. What you have done […]

What you have today is all it will take for your breakthrough. Honey, you’re not waiting until you have the right tools, you’re waiting until you have the faith to use what you already have. As always, I started this morning on my knees, asking God what he wanted to say through me today. He […]

I checked the weather today. You know what I found? Excessive heat warnings. Extreme weather alerts. Stupid hot temperatures. Do you know why I checked the weather? Because I also realized 4 months from today we will all be getting ready for Christmas. And guess what … it won’t be hot then. In fact, we’ll […]

Have you ever been so afraid to make a choice because you don’t want to make the wrong one? So afraid to take the next step because you’re unsure of the step to take? Maybe that’s you right now. You have a decision to make. Stay or leave. Do this or do that. Go here […]

Are you playing it safe? Eliminating the risk so failure isn’t a threat? What have you sacrificed for this safe life where you’re just trying to keep everything the same? Understand this, safe is just another word for regret. God is calling you into a life of full surrender, of bold decisions and BIG living. […]

You are being called out of the boat, into the water and into your next place of promise. Yes, you are being called to a place of promise. A place God has been preparing you for. A place of full circle, meaning, purpose and destiny. Do you want to go there? Do you want to […]

My facebook feed is currently flooded with those priceless back to school photos. Just yesterday I saw Breckyn’s first day of kindergarten and Kiley’s first day of college. And while it seems a lifetime will separate those two photos, us older moms know just how fast it all goes. We only have these kids home […]

What if God could help you forget? What if you don’t have to carry this pain with you into your future? What if your wounds could be completely healed and every ounce of hurt redeemed? What if you don’t have to replay the story one more time? What if all that happened to you in […]

When God created the world, he would pause and see that it was good. For six days, he created. He formed the mountains. He filled the seas. He breathed life into all living creatures. And the final verse of the first chapter of the Bible says, “God saw all that he had made, and it […]

God is here offering you a life beyond your wildest imagination. He’s already placed everything within you required, confidently believing you would accept the invitation. Don’t let it go to waste. Don’t miss your opportunity. Show up and participate! How do you do you do this? Really, how do you live this life God says […]

You’ve heard the phrase “hell no.” That’s when it’s not just a no, but it’s a definite, certain, undeniable, unshakable no. Hell no. What if that’s exactly what you need to be saying, but you forgot one thing. You forgot the comma. You see, when you place a comma, the entire sentence changes. Here’s an […]

God is not done with your story. This is not the end of what he’s doing in you, through you and for you. Oh honey, there is soooooo much more. More than you have dared to dream. More than you can imagine. Your story is MORE. Yesterday was the ribbon cutting ceremony for the 99+1 […]

Do you need God to come down like ASAP and get in the middle of your situation? Do you need him to show up and do something? Well, I know his call card. I know the guaranteed way to get his attention and move to action. Here it is … it is your praise. Psalm […]

It’s not if you’re going through hard times, honey, it’s HOW you’re going through hard times. Will you worry your way through this? Will you be a ball of anxiety, overwhelmed in the emotions of a tough situation? Will you become bitter, hardened, jaded and cynical? Or will you stand strong in your faith and […]

What do you do after a big disappointment? Your steps after a failure are of great importance. When you most don’t want to get out of bed to face the day, there’s something Jesus wants you to know. We will learn this valuable lesson through the story of Peter. Remember, Peter is the gutsy friend […]

Oh, the things self-doubt is robbing from you. Just because you don’t feel qualified doesn’t mean it’s not in your destiny. Just because you dismiss yourself doesn’t mean God has dismissed you. If you’ve been letting that little voice in your head talk you out of showing up, let me be straight up honest with […]

If it were certain, it wouldn’t require faith. If it were easy, faith wouldn’t be necessary. If you knew exactly when and how it was all going to happen, faith would never be exercised. But, it is your FAITH that pleases God. It is your FAITH that makes you righteous. It is your FAITH that […]

There are spiritual solutions for the problems you face. Yes, solutions that are beyond you and above you. And yet, these solutions are within your reach. You access them through prayer. But isn’t it funny how we often pray as a last resort instead of our greatest resource. Prayer gets put on the back burner […]

No pain, no gain, right? But wouldn’t we all just rather have no pain? No pain at all. No suffering. No hardship. No setback. We all would choose the path of no pain, but would we be sacrificing great gain? What has caused you pain in your life? What hardship have you endured? Maybe you’re […]

This weekend, while hosting the BIG Life Retreat in Lake Tahoe, California, I had a moment of absolute awe and wonder. There were about 12 of us gathered around a table on the top deck of a gorgeous log cabin in the tall pine trees. Sitting around this table, I listened to the stories of […]

Why the rush? Why do we jump from one thing to the next without fully enjoying either? Who set this pace you’re living in, and is it working for you? I admittedly sped through my 30’s. Looking back, it’s all a blur as I hurried my children, pushed my plans, and rushed through each task […]

Who are you? I mean really, who are you? Behind the scenes, beneath the layers, who are you? Do you like you? Are you proud of you? Are you living a life as the person you really want to be, or when you’re being truly honest are you a bit disappointed in yourself? You’re certainly […]

Sometimes we can want something so bad, that it completely blinds us. We can become so wrapped up in our little world here and now that we forget God’s big picture plan reaches far beyond this. And while we are forced to wait, we sure can make a mess of things, can’t we? Many years […]

Why can’t life just calm down? Why can’t the problems go away? Why can’t this whole thing just be easier? Well, let me tell you why … because God is refining us. Through the heat, through the fire, through the pressures, and through the trials, God is crafting you to become everything he designed you […]

What keeps us from a life fully surrendered to God? What separates us from living in the full potential of partnership with our Creator who has these good plans for our lives? Could it be the simple belief that we first need to clean ourselves up, then we will step into that? Could it be […]

What if this isn’t whether or not you have a hardship in your life, but rather how you steward any hardship you may endure. We spend so much of our time trying to avoid hardship at all costs, when the truth is, they’re going to come. No one is immune to the tough stuff of […]

Who is this God we pray to, and are we bothering him with our requests? Are we even doing it right? Are our prayers getting through? Does the Creator of the Universe really hear our requests, and if he does, does he really want to? Scripture is filled with instructions on prayer. We are instructed […]

Everything God does is with eternity in mind. When God says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”, he’s not just referring to your future later this year or 10 years from now. […]

Sometimes, don’t you just feel alone in the crowd? Like you’re lost in the mix and no one really knows what you’re battling. So, you battle alone. You fight those feelings alone. You wrestle those thoughts alone. But, my sister, you are not alone. Ever. There hasn’t been a second of your existence that you […]

If you’re going through hell, what should you do? KEEP ON GOING. There’s a country song most of us know that says: If you’re goin’ through hell, keep on goingDon’t slow down, if you’re scared don’t show itYou might get out before the devil even knows you’re there But, what do we often do? We […]

As you wait, are you wondering if God is really for you? Are you questioning if God really has a good plan here? All this waiting and wondering kinda zaps a girl’s hopes. If that’s where you are today; waiting, wondering, worrying, wishing, without any signs of God working, this devotional is specifically for you! […]

You’ve been putting up with crap for entirely too long. It’s exhausting and overwhelming you. It has zapped your energy, stolen your peace, and robbed you of your joy. You’ve literally been living in torment because you don’t recognize the attacks of the enemy of your soul. And because you don’t recognize this crap as […]

Our problem with today is we can’t see beyond it. We’re focused on today, but there’s so much more than today. Here’s precisely what God asked me to tell you today: THERE IS A GREAT FUTURE FOR YOU BEYOND THIS. God has gone before you and designed a future just for you that reaches far […]

You don’t see what God sees in your circumstances. You don’t see how he is using all things together for good. You don’t see the plans he is aligning and the details he is orchestrating. And, you’re not supposed to. You’re not supposed to know how God is going to do what God is going […]

Have you ever been on a beach at the end of a busy summer day to see all the footprints, all the mounds of sand piled, and all the deep holes dug? Then what about the next morning? That same beach is fresh and flat, and all the mess of yesterday has been washed away. […]

That thing you hide from others so well, isn’t hidden from Jesus. That thing you carry around on the inside of you is fully seen by Jesus. He knows your dirt. He sees your shame. He is aware of your guilt. And he’s not walking away from you for a second! You’re not dismissed from […]

Wouldn’t it just be nice to know exactly what you’re supposed to do with what is coming next? Wouldn’t it be great to know how what you’re dealing with right now is going to all work out? Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you knew precisely when it’s going to happen so you could […]

You’re waiting right now. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for something to change. Waiting for an answer. Waiting for a breakthrough. Waiting for your next move to be revealed. We’re all waiting. God wants us to wait better. He wants us to wait different. Instead of our worry filled, anxious and impatient questioning, God […]

Today, in America, we celebrate Independence Day. Flags are waving, anthems are playing, families and friends gather as fireworks are set off into the sky. We celebrate FREEDOM. Freedom allows us to live fully. Freedom promises opportunities and possibilities. Freedom brings joy and happiness because all that has served to hold us back has been […]

Sometimes I literally feel like God tricks me into the best parts of my life. And he has to, because I realize I wouldn’t have stepped into the best things on my own. God had to do that. I’ve just returned from hosting the retreat of my dreams. Now granted, my dreams are not everyone […]

Often times we’re going through life running low on power and energy because we’ve failed to plug in to the one thing our soul most needs. What is it our soul most needs? Connection with our creator. Ahhhhh yes, when is the last time you connected with your creator? He is your power source. Are […]

Where do you find your worth? Where do you find you identity? Do you find your worth in the kids you’re raising? Ahhhh, be careful my friend, prodigal sons and prodigal daughters come from even the best of families and if your worth is tied up in them, you may be heading for the clearance […]

So Much More Have you ever gotten your hopes up over something specific happening and it’s a big ol’ let down? You’re excited thinking “finally, this is it” then wa-wa-wahhhhh it’s a sore disappointment. What do you do when you’re disappointed? What do you do when time and time again life just doesn’t quite work […]

Today you and I woke up to the opportunity to start again. An opportunity to step into the fullness of God’s grace and mercy and receive a fresh start. But sadly, most will miss this opportunity. Instead we will receive the offer of the enemy to dwell on where we screwed up yesterday. The offer […]

Your brain is specifically wired to protect you. Protect you from harm and danger, and promote survival. The bad news is, honey, that brain was great for the time in history when humans were running from saber tooth tigers and killing lions for dinner. But that hasn’t been happening lately, now has it?  You’re not […]

Does God want you to be miserable? Does he want you to wake up each day, dreading the life you have been given to live? Are his intentions to steal all your fun and joy so that you walk around overwhelmed and depressed, encouraging others to follow you to this God who gave you this […]

What does it mean to love people? Does it mean to agree with them? Does it mean to think like them? Does it mean for them to be like you and you to be like them? Jesus is our perfect example of love. Literally, perfect. And Jesus shows us he loved people he didn’t agree […]

Do you have a life purpose statement? Like a mantra that shifts your perspective and helps you see your overall life and it’s purpose more clearly? I’m going to suggest that in the busyness of this life that gets really loud and chaotic, you get yourself a life purpose statement. One that remains true regardless […]

God is working, and you’ve been overlooking it. He’s moving, but you’ve failed to see it. His power has been in motion, but you’re not seeing the effects. You think everything is just staying the same. You think nothing is happening now and therefore nothing will ever happen. But Sis, you’re wrong. Oh, there is […]

The time of your complaining has come to an end. The worry flowing from your mouth and filling your conversations has been put on order to cease. This is a Spirit of Shut Up. No more doubting. No more fearful ‘what if’ scenarios spoken about. No more negativity. God says ZIP IT! God is working […]

Why is it we suffer alone? Why do we struggle our way through life entirely more than is necessary? Really, why are you here today, silently battling whatever you’re battling, thinking this is just the way it’s going to be for you? Girls, we are entirely too quick to make peace with our problem and […]

Has God been faithful to you? Do you have anything in your life as a direct result of his hand of mercy and grace over you? Does he know how you feel about it? Seriously, does God KNOW you’re grateful? Have you told him? Luke 17: 11-19 tells the story of Jesus encountering 10 men […]

Why are you holding back? Really, why are you withholding thinking you can’t give the very best of you? You’re not allowing yourself to go all in right here and now, because for some reason you’re convinced you’re going to run out if you give it your all. I get it. I used to do […]

Body Lease Agreement: https://shorturl.at/klnv9 Just how much do you hate your body? How much do you dislike your own skin and the reflection you see? How long are you going to punish yourself, sitting your own self in time out, not allowed to fully enjoy this life you have been given? You don’t get to […]

For the past 12 hours, I’ve been asking God exactly what he wants to say to you through me today. I’ve been seeking his promptings for this devotional, praying it would meet you where you are and be precisely what you need to hear for your next step. And I believe what you hear next […]

Are you stuck in a waiting period, just hoping God has heard your prayer? You’ve prayed, but you haven’t heard God’s answer. You’ve sought him, but you haven’t seen him working. What do you do in this space between asking and receiving? What do you do when you’re trying your best to believe God is […]

Do you ever feel like you do all that you do for nothing? Like everyone takes you for granted and no one gives you the credit you deserve? Whew, that can make us some bitter women! I cleaned this house all day and not a single one of you said thank you. What, you think […]

Right now, at this very moment, you are being led. Lovingly led into good plans for your future. Led onto the right path to get you there. Led through valleys and dark shadows to bring you to the place your creator designed for you. Who is leading you? It’s Jesus, your Good Shepherd. Here’s the […]

God is using your deepest pain to launch your greatest calling. The very thing that threatened to take you out serves to bring you in closer. Maybe from where you are today, you can look back and see for yourself how the hardest times brought you to a greater purpose. And if you can see […]

The battle you’re in right now has already been won by God. He already has a plan. He’s already seen the end. He already knows the victory ahead while you just know the struggle you continue to be in. We can get so overwhelmed in the fight, but God has never been overwhelmed. He’s never […]

Sometimes life is straight up hard. It’s not fair. It doesn’t make sense. We want out of it, but there doesn’t seem to be a way out, just through. But you’re tired of going through this. You’re tired of this hardship. You’re tired of this struggle. And you’re not sure how much more your heart […]

What if you could be wildly successful in this new month of life? What would that look like for you? Did you know God has success designed for each of us? You know those good plans for our lives he talks about in Jeremiah 29:11, yeah, those plans are for success. The problem is, we’ve […]

Were you once doing well, going strong, making major progress and then you got tripped up? Something stopped your progress and you’ve been a bit stalled since. You lost your get up and go. Your motivation is now low. You say you will, but you won’t. You get your hopes up that this time you’ll […]

Our God is a healer, redeemer and restorer. His desire is to guide you to living the best life he imagined for you from the very beginning. His answer to your request for healing and restoration is YES. Do you believe that? Yes, he will heal you. Yes, he will restore that which is so […]

Today is Memorial Day here in the US. It’s a day set aside to remember and honor the lives of our military sacrificed to serve and protect us. All gave some, but some gave all. We wouldn’t have what we have and live the way we live if not for their all that was given. […]

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Consumed? Did you know this is NOT God’s plan for you? He never intended for you to be consumed by stress and worry. He never intended for your schedule to be so busy that you’re frazzled. Nor did he intend for you to be consumed by a career, cars, clothes, […]

When God created you, he had greatness in mind. He formed you as a masterpiece, equipping you with every single thing you would ever need. He had a vision for your life, a good plan for your days. In his marvelous ways, he created you to be marvelous. Now … let’s get back to the […]

I have chosen to live a very unique lifestyle. Yes, I’m homeless. I have no idea where I will sleep beyond tomorrow night. I not only vacation that way, I live that way. Permanently. And yes, it’s by choice. You see, many years ago, I woke up in the big house I had worked so […]

Proverbs 31: 17 & 25 “She is energetic and strong,a hard worker. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31 gives us much of an outline of the woman we were each created to be. In both of these verses, our strength is referenced. Let me […]

There are no limits on what God will do for you. I’m here to remind you this morning that God wants to give you a ridiculous story. Have you been coming to him with your requests to seize the ridiculous story and wildly unreasonable life available to you? Yesterday was a special celebration in my […]

One of the most powerful prayers I know to pray is the wreck it prayer. God, here are my plans, if you have something better in mind, wreck it. And often he does. I can spend days creating an elaborate plan of action, I can even be in the middle of working the plan, and […]

In this life you will have battles to fight. It’s guaranteed. We were never promised a trouble free life. But we were promised victory through Christ Jesus. There will be victory! Whatever you’re facing, whatever your struggle, somehow, someway, there will be victory. Sometimes our human eyes and limited understanding struggle to see it because […]

Just how perfect do you have to be before God walks with you and guides you? How much more cleaning up do you have to do before Jesus wants to hang out with you? What would need to change in your life to get God to listen to you. Gosh, and then imagine how much […]

Today, lets talk about something all the ladies want to talk about. Eyelashes. Yes, those big beautiful lashes we all want. Fake eyelashes are my one guilty pleasure. I straight up love me some big long lashes. They’re all the rage. Hey for a few hundred bucks you can go get you some lash extensions […]

Where are my people that like to shoot it straight? Don’t beat around the bush, don’t give me fluff, just tell it like it is? Well I hope you’re listening this morning, because today’s devotional is for you. We’re reading in Matthew 22 and Jesus is being trapped with a trick question by people who […]

If you know me, you know I love a good adventure. I have a unique skill set of turning most anything into an adventure. If you and I are going to spend time together, what I most want is to have an adventure together. I want to do something for the first time. I want […]

Here’s my wish for you … Today, may you be led by what is IN you instead of what is around you. Around you are all sorts of distractions and drama. The invitation to mediocre living is everywhere. But you don’t have to go through life downbeat, down cast and down in the dumps. DOWN […]

So, something has got you all stirred up. You’re not sure what to do, you’re searching for the right answer, you’re stressed on the timeline and you’re feeling the pressure. How can you calm down in the midst of chaos? How can you be certain in the middle of uncertainty? Psalm 139:23 says “Search me, […]

Could the struggles in your life be the result of a priority issue? When we elevate certain things and people to a level of importance above God, we subject them to removal from our lives. Did you know the 10 plagues on Egypt were a direct response to 10 different gods and goddesses the Egyptians […]

Ahhh, the struggle is real. Morning time can be tough. When that alarm rings and you know you have to get up… The day is starting and you’re already behind… The general consensus among Americans is, most of us hate mornings. If we could skip the wee hours of the morning, we would. If we […]

How many times have we said, “If I only knew what God’s will was, I would do it!” We search and we wait for God’s will, promising we will be obedient if God will clearly tell us what his will is. What if I told you I know exactly what God’s will is for you […]

Today’s devotional is for the women who have been hurt. Those who woke up disappointed today. Those who feel overwhelmed. Those who are beginning to believe it’s too late and they’re loosing hope. For you, the one who is disheartened by the journey right now with not a lot left to give. In Isaiah 61:3 […]

This storm you’re in right now … this mess, this stress, this uncertainty, this hardship … it’s causing you to see something. What are you seeing here? Are you seeing all that is wrong? Are you seeing how unfair this is? Are you seeing the threats? If you are, I bet you’re sinking, huh? You’re […]

You were created to be an overcomer. This means you have the ability to get OVER anything that may COME your way. Get it – Overcomer – Get OVER anything that may COME your way. You have been given a specific set of skills and experiences that have strengthened you for your journey. You are […]

Through mentoring thousands of women, it seems there’s a common thread among us … we all want to know our purpose. We’re searching for that deeper meaning. WHY DID GOD CREATE YOU? WHAT SPECIFIC WORK DOES HE HAVE FOR YOU TO DO? Some people have clearly discovered their purpose and you see them living it […]

Have you been exhausting yourself trying to do what you were never meant to do alone? Have you been showing up in your own power and might, and wondering why you always come up short? Girl, have you been trying to do what only God can do? Have you slipped into your super woman suit, […]

I know you’ve asked God before, and you’re still waiting, but go ahead and ask again. I know you’ve prayed before and you feel like your prayer was unanswered, pray again. I know you’re growing discouraged. I know you feel like this is never going to change and it’s never going to happen. The answer […]

When we’re going through the storm, it’s easy to forget that God is up to something. When our good plans are falling apart and nothing else seems to be coming together, it’s easy to forget that God is up to something. When it’s bad news, when we’re wandering through the darkness, when we’re overwhelmed with […]

When is the last time you screwed up and fell short? No one likes to admit it, but we’ve all been there, and we’re not talking majorly past tense. I failed, and y’all it was super recent. God gave me a tremendous gift in this regrettable failure of mine, he allowed me to watch the […]

How hard is it for you to get up when your alarm rings in the morning? How many times do you hit the snooze button? Have you noticed how accustom you have grown to an ignored alarm, that you no longer even wake up to it? Seriously, you can sleep right through your blaring alarm […]

Who woke up today carrying a heavy load of uncertainty? Who is walking into work today unsettled? Who is at home today concerned over something specific? For some it’s something small, and for some it’s life-altering. God’s word instructs us very clearly on what to do with these worries, both big and small. 1 Peter […]

Somewhere in your life fear is holding you back. There’s your fear of what may never happen for you, and then there’s your fear of what could happen to you, so basically there’s fear around everything. Where does that fear come from, what is it doing to you, and how do you overcome it? First, […]

God isn’t looking for the strongest, the smartest, the most experienced, or the most qualified. None of the things we place such importance on are on God’s list of expectations of us. God asks for one thing from us … believe. Simply believe he will do what he says he will do. Believe he can […]

Do you have a choice to make, but you don’t know what the right choice is? Have you been delayed, waiting for the clear answer, afraid to get it wrong? When you make a choice, you stand a chance of being wrong, and who likes being wrong? I’ve never met a single person who enjoys […]

Do you have something in your life that you continually battle, yet can’t seem to overcome completely? Something that constantly creeps back in and pesters you? Sometimes you think you get rid of it, then here it comes again. Maybe it’s a bad habit or addiction. Maybe it’s a choice you keep making that you […]

What is that little voice that tells you you’re not good enough? Why are you continually held back by the fear of falling short or lacking what it takes? And why do you question if the REAL YOU would be liked? You’re not alone if you feel this way and have this internal battle. It […]

The life you’re living is the story which will outlive you. Each day of your life is a sentence. Each month a paragraph. Every year is a chapter. I wonder how the story we’re living would compare to the one God had in mind for us? I wonder if it’s too late to change the […]

I heard it today while walking on Sunset Beach in Hawaii. A mother turns to her young son and says, “Stop, no and don’t.” The way those words flowed so freely from her mouth told me this is something she says often. “Stop, no and don’t.” It’s a triple shut down. I can just imagine […]

Have you ever been on a boat in a stormy sea? Have you ever seen waves so big they can swallow your boat? Have you ever felt the panic of beginning to sink? I haven’t, and I must say, I’m quite grateful. I love living through an adventure to get to the other side with […]

Easter is officially over, now what? What happened after Jesus rose from the grave, and what should we be doing now after the celebration of Easter? I find it interesting that we rarely talk about all Jesus did after coming out of that tomb. Why is that? We can’t leave Jesus on a cross, we […]

Good Friday, the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus. The personal sacrifice of One for all. For me. For you. On this day we remember Jesus carrying that cross for us. We remember him willfully stretching out his arms as they nailed him to that cross, signifying “this much.” This is how important you […]

Imagine words or deeds you can’t take back, and those becoming the defining moments for your legacy. A failure. A disgrace. A mistake. This was Peter. He’s the one who denied Jesus. The one always remembered for his failure. The one who, for his own benefit, denied he ever knew Jesus, and never got an […]

What does the cross symbolize to you? That’s Jesus, right? God’s redemption on display as Jesus stretched out his arms and died for you and I. The cross represents the most important and valuable thing that has ever been done for us. So, we wear a cross around our neck. We hang a cross on […]

God’s plans for you are good. His promises are steady and true. His intentions are to bless you. Yes, even with what you are going through, he will bless you. Even in this uncertainty, God is sure. Knowing this, you can continue. You can keep moving forward. You can keep showing up. You can keep […]

Is there an area of your life where you were once doing so good, now you find yourself on the struggle bus and unsure how to get off it? Why do we do that? We do good, we get better, we grow … then we stop. That’s exactly what we do. We just stop. We […]

From where you stand today, you cannot see what God has already done in preparation of your next step. You have no idea of the miracles in motion at this very moment on your behalf. But you can move forward in absolute confidence knowing that God is working specifically for you and he has aligned […]

Through the Holy Spirit of God, power is available to you and I. Power to do what we alone are not strong enough to do. Power to go far beyond our own limits. Power to know that which we cannot possibly know otherwise. God’s desire is not for us to struggle our way through this […]

Do you ever find yourself listening to a song you’ve heard a hundred times before, yet somehow it hits you different? I happened to me twice this past weekend while at the BIG Life Hawaii Retreat. I drove the Red Roxy Jeep which was a non-stop dance party everywhere we went. With the top off, […]

You have been chosen, hand selected, set apart by the almighty God to do his work. God had his eye on you this entire time, preparing you for a time such as this. A time for you to be who he created you to be. A time for his power and his love to work […]

Whatever God orders, he pays for. Wherever he has a purpose, he has a plan, and provision for that plan. He sees the end from the beginning and the way has been made for all he desires. What has he ordered in your life? What has he aligned for you? What did he specially design […]

In the book of Exodus God commands Moses to go to Egypt and rescue the Israelites. Moses was like “Okay God, but you know, like what should I say?” Basically Moses is saying, “Yo, I don’t want to look all crazy when I get there.” You know sometimes when you tell people GOD spoke to […]

You’ve likely heard of the fruits of the spirit. The 9 things that naturally come in our lives as a result of Jesus dwelling within us: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Today, I present the fruits of the spirit in a different way through the Message Translation of the Bible. […]

Are you currently facing something in your life that seems ridiculous? Ridiculously hard. Ridiculously impossible. Your solution will likely seem ridiculous as well. Perhaps what God is asking you to do will make NO SENSE. Will you be obedient and do it even when you don’t understand? God may have been prompting you to do […]

Have you ever been truly hungry? I don’t mean “lunch was an hour late” hungry, I mean like day 8 of a 10 day juice cleanse hungry. Hungry like your belly button is gnawing on your back bone. When you’re truly hungy, you have an elevated sense of smell. This elevated sense of smell through […]

Luke 13:10-13: “On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set […]

When did life become all about us? Really? How have we made this about ourselves? Even when we arrive to this place of living with generosity and love, the truth is, it’s still about self because we hold back. We don’t fully dive in and do the things God has prompted us to do … […]

Living under the direction of God’s mighty Spirit, and being guided by his divine promptings, creates a life of great adventure. With God, we have a boldness and confidence to take risks. With him, we experience freedom from the fear of others’ opinions and our unsure next steps. Do you live in that faith place? […]

As a follower of Christ, you have power. Power you may not be accessing fully. What if you don’t have to struggle as much as you’ve been struggling? What if there’s a better way, and that way has been made fully available for you, you simply have to choose it. Would you choose it today? […]

We are here to fall in love with a Holy God. That is the purpose of our lives. To grow closer to him, to know him, to discover his good plans for us, and to walk in his ways which lead to a total surrender with radical obedience. As we fall in love with God, […]

As you await that big thing in your life to happen, are you missing the million little priceless moments happening now? Have you become generally unimpressed with the sheer miracle of your life, with glazed over eyes, a distracted mind, and a disconnected spirit? The truth is, most of us have. We don’t mean to, […]

How To Know It’s God Very rarely does God bring me back around to the same topic and prompt me to teach on it again, just 2 weeks later. I typically wake up with something new and fresh, but this morning, it was different. This morning, all I can think about are the amount of […]

Do you ever talk yourself out of something that may very well be awesome? You have an opportunity to go somewhere or do something, but the little voice within pipes up and starts telling you all the reasons why you can’t, so you don’t. You make plans, but you cancel the plans. You have good […]

What’s happening in your life right now seems like one thing, but what if it’s actually something different. This feels like disappointment, but what if it’s simply a divine reappointment? This feels like a mountain you will never climb, but what if it’s the beginning of greater heights than you ever imagined? Many times in […]

If you were to watch yourself from a distance, what would you see? If the thoughts inside your head were no longer the driving factor, no longer justifying your every move, or layering your actions with emotion, and you could see yourself from a 6 foot distance living your life, what would you see? Would […]

If you’re like me, you feel like God must have lowered the bar a little to accept you with all your flaws. Like he must be bending some sort of rule to give you another chance when you weren’t faithful with the last one he offered. Like God must tolerate you, but he doesn’t really […]

How do you stop worrying? I mean really, you’ve got a mess on your hands and you can’t just turn off your thoughts about it. Is it even realistic to think you could ever not worry? I assure you, it is. In fact, when has worrying ever been successful for you personally? Really, has worry […]

What would you do if you really believed God was in it with you? What would you do if you knew for certain God was 100% for you? What would you do if you were totally confident it would work? These are questions that have been stirring within me since hearing Steven Furtick’s sermon this […]

As you seek God more in your everyday life, you will begin to hear God more. You will become more and more aware of the promptings of his spirit, which are like little nudges in specific directions. For me, promptings of the spirit aren’t audible words spoken for my ears to hear, but more so […]

Sin. What is your view of sin? Is it a list of everything you can’t do? A list of restrictions and rules on your life? Honestly, that’s exactly what sin has always been for me. It’s the potential offenses I could be charged with as guilty, creating shame and regret. But, what if all that […]

What if your happiness in this week has nothing to do with your circumstances, and everything to do with your thoughts in your circumstances? Just as you can train your body to run a race or compete in a sport, you can train your mind to see the good in everything. Will it be easy? […]

Maybe you’re seeking God’s direction in something specific right now, but he seems to be silent. Why isn’t he answering you? Why isn’t he making this clear? Why can’t he just tell you what to do next? It’s like Google maps on your phone withholding the next turn from you, and you’re growing anxious thinking […]

I wonder how many times we’re standing smack dab in the middle of God’s holy provision, and we totally miss it. I wonder how often God’s detailed answer to our prayers is surrounding us, yet we are oblivious in our continual state of worry. Are we much like Jacob when he wakes up in Genesis […]

The pursuit of living well can leave us barely living at all. We are rushed. We are distracted. We are addicted. And today, on the first day of the Lent season, God takes our face into his hands and says, “Look at me.” “I am your answer. I am what you need. I will guide […]

Something has happened to you. Something unfair. Something unfortunate. Something you weren’t prepared for. However if you focus on what has happened to you here, you will lose sight of how God can now use you for his ultimate good. Honey, this is bigger than what went wrong for you. This is bigger than the […]

As believers, we are referred to as the “bride of Christ.” I’m going to be straight up honest with you, that never made sense to me. I’m marrying Jesus? Some religions have twisted and perverted that, and we’re left with a bad taste in our mouth wondering what it would mean to be the bride […]

Jesus came to give you a wide open spacious life. A life of freedom being exactly who you were created to be, confident in doing exactly what you were created to do. But somewhere along the way we went about fencing ourselves in. We believed what “they” said over what God said. We allowed lies […]

When it’s hard to love yourself, you’ve believed a lie. When you don’t want to look at yourself in the mirror, you’ve believed a lie. When you dismiss yourself from goodness, you’ve believed a lie. When you play little, you’ve believed a lie. When you feel hopeless, you’ve believed a lie. Your heart has believed […]

Has life become all work and no play? All dread and no joy? All waiting and no now? What are you waiting on? What are you dreading so badly? Honey, what are you working for? This one life you have been given is going quickly, and the day will come when you look back on […]

Today is a day of love. It’s the one day of the year, here the the US, set aside for intentionally giving and receiving love. It’s Valentine’s Day. The day where most every man in America woke up feeling already not enough for the woman he loves. The day women across the country wake up […]

If you watched the Super Bowl last night, you likely saw the great commercial about erasing the mistakes out of your photos. The words on the screen said, “For years, our phones have captured our memories.” Images of candid, in the moment photos begin to roll, then you begin to notice the flaws in each […]

Look around today. God created all this out of nothing. He started with absolutely NOTHING. The first sentence in our Bible says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Guess what was in the beginning … nothing. Nothing was there to work with. Nothing was there to grow. Just nothing. I most […]

There are some things in your life you can do something about, and you should. There are other things, no matter what you try and how long you keep trying, it’s simply not happening. You’re going to wear yourself out trying. So, how do you know the difference? How do you know when the ball […]

Do you ever feel like God is taking entirely too long to show up? Like he’s delaying, and as he is delaying, things are only getting worse? Have you ever watched life completely fall apart and felt like God was absent in the process? Knowing he has the complete power to turn every detail around […]

What this world most needs is people showing up for every day life being their true and best selves, doing the things that make them come truly alive. Yes, this world needs you truly alive, doing the things you were created to do. Your family needs you alive like this. Your life is desperate for […]

Every day of your life is held in the mighty hand of God. Every moment of your future is securely protected by the One who knows everything. Even when the enemy’s intended harm touches you, God says that harm will be turned around and used for good. Even when fire comes in and destroys your […]

Sometimes does it feel like you do everything right, yet things still don’t go right for you? You follow the plan, and the plan doesn’t work. You do the work, but you’re not rewarded for the work. You give extra, but extra never seems to come back to you. Oh, girl, do I ever have […]

What is the point of life? Is the point of your entire existence to accumulate stuff and make yourself as comfortable as possible? Really, at the end of your life, will you look back and say, “Wow, I sure felt comfortable.” How much of life are you sitting it out on all in an effort […]

What significance is this day of life for you? Is it of any value? Of any great importance? Will today’s date be remembered in any way in your lifetime? For some brand new souls taking their very first breath, today is the beginning of life for them. Babies are being born today. Life is beginning. […]

It’s the final day of the first month of this year. You made it. And maybe you not only made it through this month, but you actually made progress. Oh girl, good for you! I had a zoom call last night with some women who shared their breakthroughs in the month of January. Big battles […]

If you will change the way you perceive things, your entire experience will change. At this very moment, you have immeasurable goodness and blessings in your life, however if you’re not intentionally recognizing them, they go unnoticed. The enemy has been working overtime on your perception. What is your perception? By definition it is the […]

Exactly 10 years ago today I was getting ready to step out in faith and do something simply because God told me to. Not because there would be financial gain, popularity, or increase of absolutely anything. I felt I had nothing to gain by doing what I was about to do, but I knew God […]

You’re facing something right now that appears impossible, but God has already declared it possible. You’re wondering how in the world you will ever get through this, all while God has already designed the way. But here’s the problem with the way forward for you … it may not look guaranteed. In fact, it may […]

At some point, you arrive to a stage in your life when you look back and find the greatest discovery. The discovery that all this time, God was the author of your destiny. That through it all, he was leading you to his good plans, and they are plans you couldn’t dare to dream. If […]

How good does your life look on the outside, and how increasingly empty is it feeling on the inside?Do you feel stagnant in life, having lost your passion and energy?Are you an all-or-nothing type of person, and lately it’s been more nothing?Have you been so busy just living that you’ve forgotten to be ALIVE?Have the […]

There may be things you have done before that simply have no place in your life now. There may be old thought patterns that served to protect you back then, but honey, they gotta go now because they’re really limiting your ability to step into the big, beautiful, overflowing plans God has for your life. […]

Why does God allow our struggle? Why does he watch from above, knowing we’re about to face a problem, and not unleash his power to prevent it? The struggle you’re in right now could have been avoided. The problem you’re dealing with today could have been solved before it ever got to your doorstep. You […]

I read a great analogy on life that really puts everything into perspective. It’s deep. Grab your pen, I think this is for you today and you will want to write this down. Life is like a helicopter.I don’t know how to operate a helicopter. Gosh, life can be complicated and confusing sometimes. There has […]

Today is one of my favorite days of the year. January 18th – the day Lonnie and I celebrate our anniversary. Not our wedding anniversary, but our becoming a couple anniversary. 32 years ago, on this day in 1991, with my big poofy bangs and him with the stripes shaved in the side of his […]

Your problem is big. God is bigger. Your faults are great. God is greater. It seems impossible. God does the impossible. Have you forgotten the power which resides within you? You are HIS creation. His spirit lives within you. Through him you ARE capable and you will be MORE THAN a CONQUEROR. What problem are […]

The threat may be pressing in, but there are unseen boundaries protecting your life. God has determined where these waves can touch, and where they cannot. He has established protections over you which absolutely nothing can break through. You are safe in his arms, you just can’t see his arms. God has clearly defined how […]

Smells Like Hell You are on a mission, yet you’re battling distractions sent by the enemy. God has called you to live different, yet you’re being taunted by the same ol’ things. Check the source of the things stealing your attention and occupying your mind space. Honey, if it smells like Hell, recognize that’s likely […]

Sometimes you’re straight up not going to see it, or feel it, you will have to just believe it. Sometimes the mess you have on your hands today is in the beginning process of becoming something greater than you could have ever imagined, but first you will deal with the mess. God has this worked […]

What if that uncomfortable situation in your life is exactly where Jesus wants to release his power? You’ve been running from discomfort for so long, avoiding any hint of awkward and unknown scenarios, that you now find yourself in a wilderness God never intended for you. You’re lonely, you’re bored, you’re unfulfilled, and honestly all […]

Are you listening today with a frustrating situation in your life that seems hopeless? Are you listening today from a broken place that doesn’t make sense? Are you listening today in a state of dread over the reality ahead you must face? I believe God wants to redeem this for you. He wants to make […]

As a little girl, I watched The Price is Right with my grandma. The audience would be filled with hopeful people wearing big name tags, eagerly anticipating the next name called. The camera would pan over the crowd as if looking for just the right person, then Rod Roddy would announce one lucky name. Pamela […]

Have you ever noticed your track recording of screw up and beat up? You mess up, then you dwell in that mess and convince yourself you can never do better. You miss one day, and that one off day creates a downward spiral that leaves you worse than when you started. Your inner critic is […]

Within you is greatness. Sheer, utter, mind blowing, greatness. You have the ability to do great things. You have the power to change hard things. You have the strength to get through any thing. This is who you are and how you were created. When God formed you, he designed you as a vessel to […]

If you getting better and living bigger in this new year is all based on you, this is going to be a struggle. If it’s all about who you are, what you have, what you can do, and what you want, you are gearing up for an impossible battle. This isn’t all about you. This […]

This year was given to you to be different, now you have to do something different with it. God has been prompting you to make changes. He has been stirring your spirit to shift how you’re showing up for life on the daily. But, if you’re not on alert, this prompting will quickly fade to […]

A new year of life is here for you. It’s a year unlike any other. A year you have never lived before. It’s overflowing with potential and possibilities aligned by a good, good Father, all for his girl! If you could just get a glimpse of all God has signed off on for you in […]

Here you are today, at the very end of a year of life marked by the numbers 2,022. What title will you give this year? If this year were a chapter in the book of your life, what would the title of this chapter be now that you’re on the final page? The funny thing […]

Are you ready for what God has made available to you in 2023? Have you prepared yourself for the next level of living? Think of your life like a video game. There are levels of the game. No one ever gets through a level in one try. You try, you fail and you try again. […]

There will always be something standing in your way. There will always be a reason why now isn’t the best time for you to take the next step. There will always be a problem you’re dealing with. There will never come a day when you wake up feeling like now is the optimal time for […]

The day after Christmas…The day you wake up 5 pounds heavier to a big mess…The day after all the excitement…What do you have after the excitement? I assure you, life is a series of ups and downs. There will be things to look forward to, then those things will pass and there will be a […]

This is my 47th Christmas. The majority of them I struggle to remember much of anything. I look back for moments that have become priceless, and you know what is funny … every memory that stands out are the Christmases that were far from perfect, yet so very memorable. Think about it … it’s the […]

Give yourself a point for each one that describes you today: You still have to wrap gifts. You still have to plan a big meal. You still have to buy a crapton of groceries. You still have to clean your messy house before company arrives. You still have to buy a few last minutes gifts. […]

Today is just one day, what could possibly happen in one day? What difference could one day make? This isn’t Christmas Day, this isn’t New Years Day, today seems to be just an ordinary Wednesday in a busy week. One day that seems insignificant and ordinary, but what is this one day? In the hands […]

If this year of life were a color, what color would it be for you? Think about that. What color describes your 2022? Sadly, the memories of an entire year of life often turn to a dull gray. Life so easily slips into the gray. The nothingness. Not great, not horrible… just unimpressive, unremarkable, and […]

It’s the week of Christmas. The week the presents need to get wrapped. The week the meals need to be planned. The week travels will be made. The week you’re freaking out because the package hasn’t showed up yet. The week school is out and time moves in slow motion for the kids. When is […]

hat would your life look like if you went all in and stopped holding back? What could happen in one year’s time if you lived every day like it’s the only day you’ve got? What if you stopped wasting this, just in case it’s your last shot? We’re talking about no regrets in the end. […]

What happens after you get through what you’re going through? What do you do on the other side of this battle? How will you live when this threat is gone, you have overcome, and victory has been awarded? For many of us, we jump right into the next thing without skipping a beat. We no […]

It’s hard to see this valley you’re in right now as a blessing. It’s hard to embrace this hardship as goodness. It’s hard to see potential victory in this battle. But, Sis, you have not seen what God has seen on the other side of this valley. You have not yet even dared to imagine […]

What you have sure seems like not enough, so the question becomes, what are you doing with what little you do have? Have you dismissed what’s here because it’s not all you imagine is needed? Who are you to say how much God will require? Who are you to assume what you have won’t be […]

Just how exhausted are you right now? How completely overwhelmed and overstretched have you become? You woke up more tired than you were when you went to bed, and you’re not sure how your already depleted level of energy will ever be enough to get you through this day. You’ve already made peace with the […]

God is making what you have now to be enough until he brings what is next for you. What you have will be enough, you don’t have to fear this lack any longer. What you can do will be enough, you don’t have to be overwhelmed another day. Who you are is enough, you never […]

Sometimes where God leads you is temporary, but it’s still where he was leading you. Sometimes where God last brought you won’t last forever, and it’s not a work of the enemy when you are forced to move on to what is next. We’re so quick to assume when the thing we have now stops […]

Sometimes God is silent. His timing is not our timing. His ways are not the way we would have chosen. We don’t understand what he is doing. We look around and see things only getting worse, and wonder where is God in all of this. What are you doing in this waiting? What are you […]

You have no idea what God has available for you. You have not seen what he has decided in advance to make possible for you. You haven’t dared to imagine what your future will one day hold, that is currently being held in waiting with God. But I assure you, God wants it for you. […]

You think this setback was a cancellation on your dream, but Sis, you’re wrong. This isn’t a cancellation. This is an opportunity for you to see what you couldn’t see before. A chance to tap into the creativity your Creator has placed within you, and do something different. Did you know many of the great […]

Do you sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with fear? Something within your spirit says things aren’t right. You’re unsettled. Uneasy. And totally unable to go back to sleep. Maybe that was you last night. That was me. A bad dream woke me up and I just couldn’t shake it. It’s what […]

What do you do with the pieces you have left from this brokenness? What do you do with what is left over after everything you had planned has fallen apart? It feels like life will never be okay again. It feels like this can never work out. It feels like you will always be hopeless, […]

Coming to the final month of this year, maybe you’re a little weary. You didn’t get as far in 2022 as you had hoped. Your progress isn’t as great as you had planned. You’re disappointed that your reality doesn’t measure up to your goals for this year. I don’t know, maybe you didn’t show up […]

What you are thinking today will grow. What you imagine will get bigger. The thoughts in your head will outgrow your head space and flood your life space, then you will be surrounded by the things you were thinking of. You see, Sis, that little worry you’ve been entertaining won’t stay little. It will grow. […]

What would today look like if you were faithful? Faithful to use what you have been given. Faithful to appreciate what you already have. Faithful to follow through with what you know you should do. Faithful to be who you were created to be. Jesus tells us we should strive to be called faithful. Is […]

Can you work on a maybe? Can you proceed with a perhaps? God is asking if your faith will be in action when you’re not 100% sure of the outcome. Will you move forward when there’s a 50/50 chance it won’t work out? Often we’re waiting on the definite green light from God. That light […]

Every morning when we wake up, we get to choose our attitude. Any attitude we wish is available for the taking. We can put it on and wear it the entire day, and just like the right pair of shoes can change the outfit, the right attitude can change your experience. Most days we wake […]

Don’t you wish you had clear direction from God on the decisions you need to make? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be certain. Wouldn’t it be helpful to just know yes or no so you didn’t have to sit and wonder and worry. Who remembers the Magic 8 Ball of our youth? You would ask […]

In scripture, mountains represent the problems in our lives. The hardship, the difficulty, the impossible. What is the mountain in your life today? Think of it now. Got it? Now here’s what your mountain needs to know today: Psalm 97:5 says “The mountains melt like wax before the Lord.“ Nahum 1:5 says “The mountains quake […]
