If You Are Feeling Burdened

If You Are Feeling Burdened

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 NLT

Are you feeling burdened? I am. But God’s hope and peace is here for us today.

Today I’m facing a big workload, and all three of my children are home with me. It’s so much harder to get things done when they’re here (though I LOVE being home with them)…

I wrote a devotion for Woman 2 Woman Ministries to encourage you if you are feeling burdened today. Keep reading HERE.

If Your Husband Isn't a Spiritual Leader

If Your Husband Isn’t a Spiritual Leader

If your husband can’t or won’t accept his calling as the spiritual leader of your home, I understand your pain. But I can also offer you hope, dear wife.

I walked open-eyed into an unequally yoked relationship with my husband. We have always been on two different spiritual planes. When we got married, I had no idea how this would affect our relationship long-term, especially when we became parents…

Do Not Withhold Good

Do You Withhold Good?

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
    when it’s in your power to help them.

Proverbs 3:27 NLT

Have you ever known you should help someone, but didn’t do it?

Ugh, this is not my favorite thing to think about. MANY unpleasant thoughts come up.

There have been many times I could have helped someone…

May he grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed.

Psalm 20:4 NLT

How to Soften Hidden Stubbornness

How to Soften Hidden Stubbornness

But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
Exodus 8:15 NLT

Do you struggle with stubbornness?

The story of Pharoah’s stubbornness and hardness of heart is a pertinent warning to us.

Today we look at the story of Moses, the Pharoah, and the plagues in Exodus 8 & 9.

Moses was asking Pharoah to release the Hebrew people from Egyptian rule.

Every time Pharoah refused, God sent a new plague over the land.

Pharoah would be exasperated by the plague, relent momentarily, then his heart would be hardened again…Keep reading 3 lessons from this example HERE on my guest post for Woman 2 Woman Ministries.

How to Make New Friends as an Adult

It takes courage to make new friends as an adult.

But real friends are essential, no matter what stage of life we are in. They are worth the risk. Here’s a story of how I had to be brave to make a new friend as an adult.

Last summer, I reached out through email to someone I’ve known for a while at a distance. I have admired her from afar, and hurriedly sent the Ask message before I lost my nerve…

The Beautiful Example of Jesus' Humility

The Beautiful Example of Jesus’ Humility

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus…

Philippians 2:5 NIV
Humility speaks volumes in a self-centered world. When we choose humility, we shine the light of Jesus into the darkness of selfishness.

We need more humility in our world, and Jesus is our ideal example to follow.
Let’s look closely at this famous passage in Philippians 2:3-11, line by line.
