The Beauty of Holiness: How to Worship God with Reverence and a Pure Heart
A study on Psalm 96:9 “O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” Psalm 96 is a beautiful call to worship that lifts our eyes to the majesty and greatness of God. Verse 9 in particular reminds believers not only to worship God, but how to worship Him— in the beauty of holiness . What does this mean? And how do we walk it out in our daily lives? Let’s dive deeper. “O Worship the Lord…” – The Call to Worship Worship is not optional for the be

From Tragedy to Triumph: Ruth’s Story and the Power of Choosing God
Where Did Your Story Begin? Where did your story begin? Did your journey begin in a season of triumph or tragedy? Many of the stories in our life are birthed through tragedy, but God does great and mighty things through them. The book of Ruth is one of my favorite books in the Bible. It is the perfect example of how God can take a season of tragedy and turn it into a season of triumph. Ruth was a Moabitess. The day Ruth married Mahlon, though she still lived in Moab, she walk

The Power of "Seek Ye First": How to Transform Your Rushed Morning into a Rich Time with God
Rushed Mornings and the Disconnection from God What do you do first thing in the morning? What is the first thing that comes to mind the moment your eyes open? Before I devoted my mornings to Jesus, my mind would immediately go to my phone and a nice hot cup of coffee. For most of my early years as a Christian, my thoughts were on the many tasks I had to complete before noon. My mind was racing with productive things to do before I even moved a foot from beneath my sheets. My

When Life Feels Empty: Find Peace in Jesus
Walking Through a Life Marked by Loss Loss has been my near constant companion for as long as I can remember. I moved through multiple schools growing up; nine schools to be exact. I was an incredibly shy kid and did not make friends easily. I made a few friends through the years sporadically, but I always held people far from my heart. I figured out at a very early age that it was easier on my heart to keep my distance than to get attached to people. Childhood Friendships an

The Unnecessary Months of Loneliness: Finding God’s Purpose in Seasons of Silence
Friend, you did not stumble into this moment accidentally. God has allowed this season for a reason. It may seem completely random but I assure you God is always at work in His children's lives. It is often during seasons that don’t make sense that God is doing a great work to make us more like Him. When Loneliness May Be a Test from God As I look back through the pages of my mind, I am reminded of a time in my life filled with great loneliness. During this time, God was wor

When the Pipes Freeze and Faith Is Tested: Lessons in Life's Storm
With Each Day Comes New Struggles God uses these struggles as lessons to help mature our faith. The past and the future are connected. We can learn from the past or keep walking through similar situations until we learn the lesson God is trying to teach us. The Day Everything Went Wrong In 2009, within a few days of accepting Jesus as my Savior, every drain pipe in our trailer froze solid, and it was only the beginning. A few days later, it snowed heavily, the main water li

From Brokenness to Grace: My Salvation Story
Have You Ever Wondered If God Could Save Someone Like You? Have you ever stood in a church restroom looking at yourself in the mirror and wondered, “Is it really possible for God to save a girl like me?” That is exactly where I found myself one cold night in December 2009. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am w

A Praying Wife’s Beginning: My Journey Into Prayer
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1 A Praying Wife’s Beginning: My Journey Into Prayer Everything has a beginning. In the beginning God created everything, just as He created a life of intercession in me. Friend, does your beginning look similar? My beginning was not an immediate love for prayer. My prayer life was anything but great. No, it was desperation. Sure I prayed in the beginning of my walk with God, but I did not have a love for p
