If I’m being honest, making decisions is one of the hardest things for me. Not because I don’t care, but because I care too much . I want to choose the right thing. I want to avoid regret. I want to know how it’s all going to turn out before I take the first step. And when I can’t see the outcome, anxiety creeps in fast. Maybe you know that feeling too. It’s that knot in your stomach when every option feels risky. The mental spirals. The “what if I mess this up?” thoughts tha

“I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 This verse sounds brave when we read it quietly. But living it is another thing entirely. Because weakness is uncomfortable. It’s the moment you realize you don’t have the energy you used to. It’s the prayer you’ve prayed a hundred times that still hasn’t been answered. It’s being misunderstood, overlooked, criticized, or pushed aside

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3 Some mornings, it feels like my brain is already running a mile before my feet even touch the floor. The kids’ schedules, meals, school projects, laundry, work responsibilities, household chores, and the million little decisions I didn’t even know were waiting for me swirl in my mind like a never-ending tornado. If I’m honest, I’ve convinced myself that if I can just plan perfectly, organize per

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus speaks directly to one of the most common struggles of our hearts, worry. He says, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” (Matthew 6:25). As a wife and mother, I can easily become consumed with the need to control everything around me. The schedule, the meals, the school projects, the chores, and, of course, t

Psalm 121 “God watches over you day and night. You are always under His care.” Some days, God’s care feels obvious. Other days, it’s quiet, so quiet you wonder if He even notices. Life can be noisy, messy, or exhausting, and it’s easy to feel alone. Psalm 121 reminds us: “I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth”  (verse 1–2). God isn’t distant. He’s watching over you at every step, day and ni

Hebrews 11:1–6 “Faith is trusting God even when you can’t see the outcome. Keep believing.” If faith is being honest, then most days it looks a lot like uncertainty. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”  And if we’re real, that’s the hardest part. Trusting something we can’t see, prove, or predict. It’s one thing to believe God can  do something. It’s another to trust Him when you don’t know if  or when  He will.

Ephesians 6:10–18 “Stand firm in faith. God has equipped you with everything you need.” Some days, standing firm doesn’t look heroic. It looks like getting out of bed when you’d rather stay under the covers. It looks like holding your tongue, saying another prayer, or choosing not to spiral when things don’t go as planned. Life has a way of hitting us from all angles. Stress, insecurity, fear, comparison, exhaustion, sometimes it feels like too much all at once. That’s why Ep

Colossians 3:12–17 Some mornings, getting dressed is the easiest part of the day. Other mornings, it’s the only  thing that feels under control. The day ahead may already feel heavy, unfinished tasks, difficult conversations, tired hearts, and expectations pulling us in every direction. That’s why Paul’s words in Colossians feel so practical: “Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”  (Col. 3:12) Before we answer the text, walk into the

Philippians 4:4–9 As working women, we carry many responsibilities each day. We manage deadlines, meetings, expectations, and decisions. Often, while also caring for families, relationships, and homes. The pace can be relentless, and the pressure to perform well in every role can quietly fill our hearts with worry and fatigue. If we’re not careful, these concerns can steal our peace. In Philippians 4:4–9, God invites us to a different way of living. He calls us to rejoice in

Romans 8:18–28 There are days when life feels heavy in ways that are hard to explain. As women, we often carry more than we let on: expectations, responsibilities, relationships, unanswered prayers, and silent disappointments. We show up for others while quietly wondering who is holding us . In those moments, Romans 8:18–28 speaks gently and powerfully to our hearts: God is working all things together for good, even the hard parts. Some of the hardest struggles aren’t visible

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day.” 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 At the heart of our faith stands a sacred truth: Jesus died, was buried, and rose again. This is not just a story we remember; it is the foundation of our hope and the reason we can live free, forgiven, and full of life. At the cross, Jesus willingly took upon H

Read Romans 8:1–11 “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 There is a quiet weight many people carry, the weight of the past. Old mistakes, former seasons, words spoken, choices made. Even after we’ve asked God for forgiveness, those memories can linger, whispering lies like this is who you are  or you’ll never move beyond this. But Romans 8:1–11 declares a powerful truth: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” None. Not a

Matthew 6:25–34 “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” Matthew 6:8 Have you ever found yourself thinking about applying for a new job, moving to a different place, or stepping into an entirely new season of life? At first, the idea may feel exciting, full of possibility and hope. But soon after, questions begin to surface. Will this work out? Am I making the right decision? What if I fail? What if I don’t have enough?  Change has a way of exposing our fears an

In John 15:1-11, Jesus gives us a powerful metaphor about our relationship with Him: He is the vine, and we are the branches. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful” (John 15:1-2). This picture is about staying connected to Jesus, not just in the quiet moments of life, but especially in our service to Him. As women who desire to s

Every day feels like I'm walking a tightrope without a safety net, juggling my dreams, my family, and the expectations of the world. It’s like trying to bake a soufflé while herding a bunch of cats; one wrong move, and everything could fall apart. I don’t have it all figured out. There are days when I feel like I’m barely keeping it together, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But through it all, I find strength in knowing that it’s not up to me to control everything. I might

Scripture: John 3:16–21 This morning, as I write, I have been getting ready to sing the special music at church, my heart is full of expectation. I will be singing All My Hope  by Crowder, and I can already feel how closely the song connects to today’s scripture in our 21-day challenge: John 3:16–21. It’s funny how God is always weaving all the little pieces of our day together and making them related so that the story just flows. The words of this song will not just be music

Scripture: John 1:1–14 Before the world began, before motherhood shaped your days and nights, the Word already was.  Jesus existed before your first prayer for your child, before the tears you cried in exhaustion, before the worries you carry quietly in your heart. He was with God, He was God, and all life came through Him.  That includes yours and the precious lives entrusted to you. John tells us that “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Matthew 11:28–30 Can I just be real with you for a minute? Some days I feel like I’m holding the weight of everything, my family, my daughter, my job, the bills, and honestly…even the world. I sit at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in my hands, looking at the paperwork I still have to get completed, the emails I haven’t answered, and the list of things I should  be doing around the house, and my chest just feels tight. And then there’s my 17-year-old daughter. I love h

Psalm 46 Can I be honest with you for a minute? Some days, life just shakes me. Not in huge, dramatic ways that make the news, but in ways that leave my heart heavy and my mind spinning. Like when I’ve had a week where everything goes wrong at work, the kids are cranky, and I can’t seem to get one thing checked off my to-do list. Or when a friend I thought I could count on lets me down, and I feel that sting of loneliness creeping in. Or when my body feels tired, my mind won’

Jeremiah 29:11–13 For so long, I let fear hold me back. Singing in church terrified me. I worried that my voice wasn’t good enough, that I’d stumble, that people would judge me. I remember sitting in the pew, my heart aching to lift my voice, but my fear keeping me silent. For years, I chose comfort over courage, hiding behind my insecurities while God quietly waited for me to trust Him. Finally, I made a choice: I would listen to God instead of myself. I sang. And it was mes
