A shift is happening here and we’re excited to share with you what’s coming! Hear what God’s been up to and get a snapshot of the changes about to take place in today’s post!

Do you want to know God more? Do you want to discern what His voice sounds like? How you can have a more effective prayer life? These have also been my desire. I want to always listen and know when God speaks to me, and be quicker to obedience as a result. It would be amazing to study through the Scriptures how to strategize and tactfully execute the things the Lord calls us to through prayer, and know how to best apply them. Though that was my original intent in beginning my Bible reading through Genesis again, the Lord revealed to me an even deeper desire in my spirit as His Spirit illuminated another theme in this context…

My dad and stepmom were getting ready to leave for a trip, so I phoned them the night before to hear how things were coming together, to bless their time away, and remind them of my love for them. It was a good chat. Near the end of the conversation, my dad paused in contemplative silence for a moment then said, “I love you very much… Do you know how much I love you? …I love you so so much.” Tears filled my eyes. My heart hadn’t known how much I needed to hear those genuine words.

Have you given a gift to someone you thought he might like but didn’t find out until later the significance it held for him? Have you received such a gift? Anna wrote her father a letter when he was 65 years old. On this episode, find out what happened to it, the significance it held for a number of people, and how God used it to propel Anna into her successful writing ministry!

Something wasn’t completely right with my body a few weeks ago. After waiting a week to see if the symptom would subside, I booked an appointment with my doctor who then scheduled me for an ultrasound. Thankfully, the receptionist phoned the day after the test, but her response left me more questions than answers as “nothing acute showed…”

If you’re a follower of Jesus Christ, then you’re a child of the Living and Only God. As I shared last week in “Rolling out the Red Carpet for God’s Children,” The Lord has lavished many incredible gifts upon you, including the Holy Spirit as the down payment of your inheritance. In the Spirit is a whole set of other gifts you are given in order to mature in the likeness of Jesus, and to be His light to those around you.

Do you understand who you are in Christ; not just in mind but also in heart? Do you know how God sees you? Which voice are you listening to? Fear? Shame? Truth? Did you know that fear and shame are not in you? They are their own voices who taunt you to believe the enemy’s lies. Sammy and Rachel expose the lies, refute with truth, and help empower you to speak the voice of truth over you!

Are you someone who battles with shame? Do you doubt God’s goodness and/or don’t understand the gifts you’ve received as a child of God? Let’s look at Ephesians 1 to understand more of the gifts He’s lavished upon you.

Moms, are you in the middle of the chaos with your kids? Do you feel overwhelmed, having a difficult time keeping up with the demanding routines of your household? Do you have days where you’re “tapped out?” Are the voices in your head telling you, you’re a bad mom? Tess can relate! She’s a mom to eight boys and has lived in the chaos for years! Tune in to today’s episode to gain Biblical insight and encouragement for this “freakshow” life.

I see you, sisters; the ones who are going through infertility, the ones who grieve the loss of a child too soon, the ones who received their miracles and are weary, and the ones whose children have left the nest. May this post bring blessing and comfort to you all today.
