Every Woman Needs to Know this… Whenever you feel insignificant, just remember how important you are to God. He loves you!
Grace means you’re forgiven, it doesn’t mean things are fixed… Matthew 16:24-26(ESV) Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?” It is unrealistic to think that everything is going to be easy when you…
At least half of all marriages in today’s society are speeding down the highway to divorce, say the statistics. It’s becoming clear that many who enter marriage don’t have enough gas for the trip. In fact, the majority of couples spend much more time planning a five-hour wedding than they do preparing to live under the same roof with another imperfect person for the rest of their lives! In Luke 14:28 Jesus says, “‘Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to…
One of the most valuable lessons we can ever learn is learning to wait on God.
I recently met a young man who told me he was praying for God to get him out of a really difficult situation. Praying. Praying. Praying. His life had been headed down a dangerous path and he was waiting for God to rescue him. He was making poor choices, stuck in a pattern of sin, and was desperate to turn his life around. Yet, through it all, he had done nothing to get himself to a better place. He had sought no accountability. He had made no plans and taken no action toward improvement. He hadn’t actually done anything to…
A few months ago, I wrote the post, The Month I Fasted from Men and How it Changed My Life. A lot of you contacted me asking for specifics on what to do during the fast, so I wrote this post to help guide you on your journey. Disclaimer: This fast is not to help you get a man in return, although it sounds like a good incentive and could very well bring the partner God has for you. But, most importantly, the fast is designed to teach you 1) how to trust God with the desires of your heart,…
When I was a child, the more I obeyed my parents the more they trusted me. They were able to trust me with greater responsibilities and give me more autonomy. The more I demonstrated my willingness to be obedient, the more I also experienced their rewards. My obedience to my parents showed them that I loved them and when I obeyed their wishes despite my own thoughts and ideas, it also illustrated my ability to honor them and their commands. It wasn’t always easy to do things my parents way; after all, I was young and my ideas seemed to…
By the time we have graduated to a more mature dimension in our faith, the nagging question in our minds shifts from “will God actually work this one out for me?” to “what does God want me to do as He works this out for me?” As we see more of God’s impeccable track record, it does become easier to trust His ultimate plan for our lives and circumstances. But in waiting for God’s plan to unfold, it can become quite easy to become impatient, uncomfortable, and anxious. Though we are called to live by faith and not by sight,…

Marriage is a precious gift that couples sometimes take for granted. Did you know God wants your marriage to be healthy and wants you to prosper as a couple? This is difficult to do when we get in the way of our own happiness. We should be suitable helpers to our spouse and be reminded of what God says in Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” The one flesh concept, sometimes gets lost in most marriages. We complain and look for what’s not…

The stages of relationships when doing it God’s way is pretty set, but there is always room for variations. Here is a quick guide into the 5 stages of a relationship when God is in the center of it.
