Women

How many of us are weary? Our lives are so full, so stressful, and so hurried we only feel troubled. There is no peace for the weary. We live in an exhausted world where the pace of our days has left many of us empty. But there is another way.

A study was done where participants were asked to write down all the things they were worried about, and in the end, 85% of what they wrote down never happened. And for the stuff that did happen, it didn't actually turn out as badly as they'd made it out to be.

Is Christianity sexist? Is it biased towards men, not women? I believe the answer to these questions and others like it, is emphatically, “No.” In fact, I want to show you the opposite is true.

There is no doubt, it is hard to love those who are hard to love. I know all about it. Yet, these are tried and true ways that I’ve applied in my own life when I’ve encountered individuals like this.

Journaling allows you to be creative, listen to God, share what’s on your heart, and pray to God for wisdom. There is no set way to journal, so I invite you to be creative and dream together with God.

Jesus and the Bible's prophets often used the analogy of a mother's deep care and love for her children to elucidate how God deeply desires to have a relationship with the people he created.

We have to unsubscribe from these unconscious patterns and ways of being if we want to change the world for the better and help women be more authentic to themselves and their intuitive sense of what it means to be “good”.

Whether our purpose is rest, peace, or something deeper, the change of seasons are a gift to our families. Here are some ways we can prepare our homes this fall for the next season.

God loves us, and His kindness will keep us warm on the days when self-hate leaves us bitterly cold.

As you welcome in all the "fall feels," I have got some yummy recipes that you are just going to have to try! Trust me, these will not only taste utterly delicious, but the smells alone will wake up your home (and everyone it in) with a sweet reminder that this time of year literally smells as good as it looks!

As we see the leaves morph, change, and slowly drift to the ground, let’s use that beautiful unveiling to be a sweet calling to set our sights on the things above (Colossians 3:2).

When considering what the Bible says explicitly, as well as examples in both the Old and New Testaments, we can see that God did not expect women to only remain in the home. In fact, we see many examples of godly and righteous women industriously employed in the marketplace.

Fall is the perfect time to get together with friends. The weather is crisp, the air a perfect temperature, and everyone is excited about a new season. 

Here are a few tidbits of encouragement for you as you learn the value of your no:

I’ve found that a woman of faith is a woman who endures many difficulties and yet finds God in the midst of her troubles.

I look forward to the changing seasons, but I'm overwhelmed at the terrifying fashions bombarding me from the store racks.

Turning your mind to the word of God will help calm your troubled thoughts. The following list of Bible verses can equip you to stand stronger in the battle against fear.

Being still was important for the early Israelites and Christians to practice, and it is important for us today. Here, let’s take a look at ten ways to “be still” and surrender to the Lord in our daily lives.

You can probably understand that over the years, when I’ve read Martha’s story, I’ve felt for her. What’s wrong with wanting to prepare the food? What’s wrong with wanting a little help in the kitchen? Well, let’s look at her story.

For a married couple in a sexually monogamous relationship, there is nothing wrong with using birth control. I have yet to find a Scripture that can justify making the statement that using birth control is a sin. I will leave room for people to have different opinions about this topic, but if we are talking in a marital context, the question comes down to one of preference, not of right or wrong.
