Jumping Into Your Work March 11th, 2024
“Set yourself earnestly to discover what you are made to do, and then give yourself passionately to the doing of it.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Do you get up every morning so excited about going to work you can hardly wait to get there? Don you clean the house with great enthusiasm or do the grocery shopping with great vigor? You were made to do a lot of things! You were designed with infinite possibility. The beauty of growing and changing and becoming is that it means you are seeking new ways to define yourself. You are earnestly trying to discover the best possible you to share with the world.
Whatever you do, when you realize how important it is to God and to those around you, you do with more gusto. You do it because it is “your thing” to do and you love it. You do it because somehow everything about feels right to you. You have a lot of gifts and talents. The ones that really make your light shine are those that God meant for you to do.
You’re doing amazing things!
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” - James 1:17 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, thank You for the gifts and talents You’ve given me. Help me to discover more of what You know I can be so that I can work to Your glory. Amen.

Outstanding Moments March 4th, 2024
“You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others.” - Henry Drummond
When you donate to a good cause, you feel good. When you help someone in great need by sharing what you have, you rejoice. Doing good things for each other causes the Spirit within us to celebrate. God designed us to do good deeds because His greatest joy is that we learn to love and take care of one another.
Most of us are better at giving a compliment to someone else that we are at receiving a compliment. When someone does something nice for us, we appreciate it and share the joy of the moment. As good as it feels though, the better part of sharing is being the giver. God loves a cheerful giver in every way because it means your heart is fully engaged in the process.
Give what you can to someone else today and tomorrow your happiness will surely reflect in your face and in everything you do. God bless you as you bless others.
“Freely you have received; freely give.” - Matthew 10:8 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, please help me to have a willing heart whenever I’m called upon to give to others. Help me to demonstrate Your love by the things I do. Amen.

Love One Another February 26th, 2024
“To love another person is to see the face of God.” - Victor Hugo
Perhaps you’re not a list maker, but it might be interesting to try to make a list of all the ways you are known for being a disciple of Jesus. List those things that show your love for others and see if the list offers you any insight about how you might grow in the ways of loving others.
“Love one another” sounds like an easy request and yet, we often struggle with simply loving the people in our own households or the people we work with each day. We allow the people that attend our church to remain perfect strangers to us week after week and we ignore all those requests that come in the mail to make another charitable donation.
How can you develop more skills in the ways of loving others? Jesus certainly offered many examples of what that would look like. He suggested that we might help support widows and orphans or be hospitable to strangers. Challenge yourself to become a better woman in the ways you truly love others. God will surely support your loving efforts.
“If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfect in us.” - John 4:12 NKJV
Let us pray: Lord, please help me to learn more about what it means to love others. Expand my list of ways that I might show my love to You and those You’ve placed in my life. Amen.

Another Helping Of Love February 19th, 2024
“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” - Mother Teresa
When you were younger, you may have aspired to do something extraordinary, something the world would recognize as really great. It was a lofty goal and a good idea because it’s always good to strive to become more than we are at one moment in time. Big goals require dedication, courage, and a willingness to fail. They also require greater love.
Love gets you started on a path that seems especially right for you. Another helping of love is needed though when you understand the realities of the work involved and the effort it takes to get where you want to go. The second helping of love that truly sparks greatness though is the kind that includes others, this is motivated by the outcome of your goal and how it makes life better for those around you. When we’re truly motivated by love, then anything we do, big or small becomes a great thing in the eyes of God.
Keeping your heart in tune with His goals, designed with love, will help you to achieve worthy things every day.
“ Do to others what you want them to do to you.” - Matthew 7:12 NCV
Let us pray: Lord, help me to strive to achieve the things that are great in Your eyes. Help me to desire to be more like You in all that I do. Amen.

Little Things Mean A Lot February 12th, 2024
“Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they rekindle and melt the soul.” - Teresa of Ávila
You know how much it brings you instant joy when someone does some little thing to brighten your day. It may be as small as paying you a particular compliment or as big as bringing you an unexpected present or treating you to lunch. Little things mean a lot.
Most friendships blossom over time and an array of experiences that create warm memories. You discover the things you have in common or the ideas that you share with great enthusiasm and life feels better. The same is true for the little things that help your faith blossom, or the things you do to cause someone else’s faith to grow stronger. You’re the greatest witness to God’s truth and love that many people will ever know. When you offer your kindness, your joy, and your generous spirit, you make hearts melt and souls come to life. It’s a great day to share a little of God’s love.
“Your kindness will reward you.” - Proverbs 11:17 NLT
Let us pray: Lord, remind me to do whatever I can for others today. Help me seek opportunities to share Your love with others. Amen.

The Sisters Of Patience February 5th, 2024
“Perseverance is the sister of patience, the daughter of consistency, the friend of peace, the cementer of friendships, the bond of harmony, and the bulwark of holiness.” - Bernard of Clairvaux
You’ve probably long understood why patience has been deemed a virtue. It seems that the more you sense an inability to be really patient, the more opportunities you get to practice. Patience is all about self-control. It’s the one thing that tests you nearly every day of your life. Can you be patient when your spouse isn’t listening to you? Can you be patient when there’s a long line at the bank, but you simply must do a transaction today?
Imagine, if you can, what it must be like for God to be patient with human beings. If you dare, imagine what it takes for Him to be patient with you. Patience may coincide with perseverance because it is an attitude. Adopting a patient attitude, may not only help you grow, it may also save your heart a lot of stress.
Embrace those moments when you are called upon to be patient. Stand back and observe them. You’ll get better at being patient each time you try.
“We also have joy with our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope.” - Romans 5:3-4 NCV
Let us pray: Lord, help me to be aware of those moments when I’m not willing to be patient. Thank You for being so patient with me. Amen.

You’re A Warrior Woman! January 29th, 2024
“We’re in spiritual combat - cosmic combat for the heart and soul of humankind.” - Chuck Colson
The beauty of becoming a stronger woman of worth in God’s sight is that He can use you in more situations and circumstances. He can prepare you to hold up the light for others who are battling the depths of despair and darkness. He can strengthen you for spiritual combat because it is going on everywhere around you. God needs you to stand up to the faith He has given you and use it as a shield to protect yourself and your loved ones.
You’re His warrior woman! He counts on you to be there in those moments when someone needs a strong voice, or a kind heart, when someone needs to see that God is real. You’re His hands and feet in this world and He has equipped you in every way to do His work. He’ll never leave you unprotected because he is your strength and your shield in every life circumstance.
“Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” - Ephesians 6:16 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, I don’t really think of myself as a warrior, but I am certainly a woman who wants to share Your love with others. Thank You for protecting me and equipping me for this task. Amen.

God Doesn’t Make An Inferior Anything! January 22nd, 2024
“There is about us, if only we have eyes to see, a creation of such spectacular profusion, spendthrift richness, and absurd detail, as to make us catch our breath in astonished wonder.” - Michael Mayne
When we stop to think about it, the glourious visions surrounding us are a continual reminder of God’s handiwork. If we examine such mundane things as the petals on a flower or the colors of a butterfly’s wing, we see His amazing attention to detail. How much more then, should we be awed by the human body?
When God made you, He knew exactly what He was doing. He knew every detail about who you would be and the pourpose you could serve in the lives of others. He created you with love, seeing the perfect and beautiful you before you were even born. As you look in the mirror today, instead of noticing the things you might not be fond of about your appearence, note the things God did to make you exquisite.
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mothers womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - and how well I know it.” - Psalm 139:13-14 NLT
Let us pray: Lord, I know You created me with love and placed me in a family where I could grow and learn. Bless all those who have helped me become more of what You want me to be. Amen.

Wise Women Have “Uncommon” Sense January 15th, 2024
“Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do you ever feel like the common sense has simply gone out the window? Somehow, our culture has become so programmed to rely on computers and calculators and tables that we have forgotten how to put two and two together for ourselves. We’ve lost the ability to make common sense decisions and we are perplexed about how it all happened.
Folk wisdom provides us with wonderful “old wives’ tales” and many of those sage bits of advice were born out of common sense. They were the little things that helped our grandmothers and great-grandmothers stay content. As women who want to be worthy in the sight of God, we want to be wise, and more than that, we want Him to know what we approach life with the common sense. He built into us. The more you operate with “uncommon sense,” the more God can guide you into great wisdom. It’s okay to add things up for yourself.
“Treat wisdom as a sister, and make understanding your closest friend.” - Proverbs 7:4 NCV
Let us pray: Lord, grant us the wisdom to use our own good sense in the things we do and say. Help us to trust ourselves to make good decisions because we have put all our choices in Your hands. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

It’s Going to be Worth the Wait! January 8th, 2024
“Let us step into the darkness and reach out for the hand of God. The path of faith and darkness is so much safer than the one we would have chose by sight.” - George MacDonald
Most of us would have to admit that waiting is not our strongest suit. We don’t like waiting in traffic or waiting for a job promotion or even waiting for payday. We like things to happen when we want them. Sometimes we’re waiting in the dark, wondering about the medical test results or wondering if the bank will approve our loan. Waiting fills us with anxiety.
What about waiting for God? If we’re truly walking in the darkness, there can be no better place to wait than in the Presence of God. He offers the only true light for the world. He offers the promise that He is with us always, no matter where we are, whether we’re walking, running, or patiently waiting. If we wait on God’s perfect timing, we can see His hand at wor and we can see that the outcome was well worth the wait.
The One who holds you up in such high esteem sees you and is doing everything possible to assist your needs right now. Trust in Him and wait with confidence.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” - Lamentations 3:25-26 NKJV
Let us pray: Dear lord, we are not very good at patiently waiting. Please draw near to us today and help us trust totally in You. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You Have Great Impact December 18th, 2023
“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in your room.” - Anita Roddick
Mosquitos are insistent. They are heat-seeking missiles that find a way to buzz around your head any time you give them a chance. Unless you actually send them to the Promised Land, they don’t seem to quit. They have a definite impact!
Sometimes as women, we tend to think that if we’re not in charge of a meeting, or organizing a group, then our work is not important. We have devalued ourselves because we’re playing a game of comparisons. After all, life is a competition.
Think about it. Think about the things you have done for others that might seem small, but had a big impact. Maybe it was the time you picked up your friend’s child at school when she just couldn’t get there in time. What about the way you prayed for your neighbor when she was having a family crisis? These are all small things, but they are great in God’s kingdom. These are the things that show Him your generous heart and loving spirit. These are the things that matter.
“The Lord’s eyes see everything; He watched both evil and good people.” - Proverbs 15:3 NCV
Let us pray: Lord, we know how much it means to us when someone helps us at a moment's notice. Help us be willing to give what we can in service to those around us today. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

The Risk Takers December 11, 2023
“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one’s better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to own one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.” - Maxwell Maltz
Have you noticed that life is a risky business? Most of the things you’ve ever done or ever will do require a bit of a gamble. You have to set a course and then risk the outcome. You change your hair color and take a chance that others will like what you’ve done, or even that you’ll like what you’ve done. You move to a new city and hope that you’ll settle in confidently, that you’ll favorite restaurants, the right church and make good friends.
Risk! It’s simply part of living. The one absolute, the one unchanging, never-ending, no-holds-barred part of life is Jesus. You have no risk there… everything to win, nothing to lose.
It’s good to be a risk taker sometimes, though. Risk involves courage and thinking something through so you can obtain the best possible outcome. Risk involves letting yourself be vulnerable and exposing your dreams to others. God gave you the ability to dream and to act on those dreams. Take a risk today.
“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV
Let us pray: Lord, thank You for seeing we we need and helping to inspire my direction. Give us the courage to go after my dreams and be willing to take a positive risk for the right reasons. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

The Dance of Time December 4, 2023
“When as a child, I laughed and wept, Time crept. When, as a youth, I dreamed and talked, Time walked. When I became a full-grown woman, Time ran. And later, as I older grew, Time flew. Soon I shall find, while traveling on, Time gone. Will Christ have saved my soul by then?” - Chester Cathedral Inscription
Time is your friend. That’s right. It is your companion and influences everything you do. you do a lot of things according to a schedule and you do your best to simply keep up.
Sometimes it seems to move slowly, while at other times you can’t understand where it went. You were sixteen and, without blinking it seems, you were thirty-six.
You are blessed! God has divine moments planned just for you and He knows the number of your days. He knows the lans He has for you to see that you live a fulfilling life.
The time is at hand for you to give God thanks and praise for your moments and your hours. He wants you to make the most of each minute you are given. It’s your day to create with Him!
“I know the plans I have for you.’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Loving the Questions November 27, 2023
“Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers that cannot be given you because you wouldn’t be able to live them.” - Anonymous
Women are good at asking questions. We want to know how things work, why they work, and who is responsible if they don’t work. We have inquiring minds and that’s a gift from God.
Sometimes the questions we have, especially those about our life purpose and direction, or those about unanswered prayers, can feel so important we grow restless waiting for the answers. We wait, but we don’t always wait patiently. We wait and we worry.
When worry enters in, then all we think about is the future. The future is just a few minutes past where we are now, but have not noticed where we are because we need answers.
Be intentional. Look at the questions you have for God and speak them, write them or pray them aloud. Explain your desire for closure or for answers. Then stop everything, surrender the questions at the cross and give God a chance to answer.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV
Let us pray: Father, thank You for hearing our prayers and for letting us ask questions. Help us to rely on You for the answers and to be at peace in the process.

Removing Mountains November 20, 2023
“We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. It surmounts or removes all obstacles, overcomes every resisting force and gains its ends in the face of invincible hindrances.” - E.M. Bounds
Do you have any mountains looming in your path that you simply wish would get up and go somewhere else? Can you actually imagine those mountains moving at your request?
Though we may not imagine an actual mountain moving to get out of our way, we can understand that with faith, the mountains in our lives can literally be turned to little hills. We have a connection to the Source of all living things and when we seek His help in overcoming obstacles, He moves toward us and clears the way.
Today, we may have to rest patiently in His care. You many need to be more diligent in His help. He is there even to remove mountains. Don’t let mountains of doubt or fear, or any other obstacle, stand in your way.
“Truly, I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:19-20 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, thank You for hearing us when we call, sometimes with great uncertainty about what lies ahead. Please go before us and remove the mountains in Your grace and mercy.

The Energy Booster November 13, 2023
“Only love enables humanity to grow, because love engenders life and it is the only form of energy that lasts forever.” - Michel Quoist
Love surrounds you and love helps you grow. Being loved is the one thing that makes life sustainable no matter what else is going on. When your finances are rocky and you wonder if you can make ends meet, knowing that you’re connected to a community of people who believe in you and love you makes all the difference in getting through your struggles.
When your marriage falls apart and you think love has deserted you, you discover that others step up to the plate and help you get through the pain. They inspire your hopes and dreams for a better future. That’s love.
When you feel like you’ve messed up in a big way, perhaps so big that you wonder if even God can still care about you, you quickly learn that He is still there, ready to guide you and lead you in a better direction. That’s love.
Today, let the love be enough. Let love keep your heart smiling.
“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the low.” - Romans 13:8 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, thank You for Your love and for giving us so many people in our lives who care about what happens to us. Thank You for showing us what it means to love.

Resting in the Creator November 6, 2023
“You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless, until they rest in You.” - St. Augustine
You know what it’s like to have a restless spirit. You can’t sleep very well. You can’t sleep very well. You can’t focus on your work. You can’t really understand what is happening around you because everything seems blurry and insignificant.
Sometimes life causes your spirit to be vexed, overwhelmed or simply saturated with too many bills, too many worries and too many obligations. When that happens, you may have only one choice: You have to create a space for yourself, a space where you can catch your breath and inhale the sweet peace of God.
Be aware, though, that sometimes God fosters your restlessness, orchestrates those things that keep you wound up so that He can beckon you to His side. He knows that you might not create an intention to talk with Him on your own, and so He guides you back to Himself, back to a place that will free your spirit and give you peace.
Take yourself into His presence today and rest there. Surrender your worries to Him and find peace.
“I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.” - Psalm 52:8 NLT
Let us pray: Lord, You are our contentment. You are our spirit of peace and joy. Please be with us today and bless our work and our life. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

God’s Work in Us October 30, 2023
“Faith in God’s work in us, that changes us and gives new birth from God.” - Martin Luther
Do you remember sensing God’s presence in your life to such a degree that it literally changed you, guiding your thinking and your heart? It was like you were reborn and it was a glorious moment. You may still rejoice as you think about that realization as you took your first real steps in faith.
The good news is that God did not stop working in you after that first significant experience. He did not leave you to grow on your own. God has been changing you since the beginning, preparing your heart and mind for each new step, each new opportunity to build your faith. He loves to see you take a leap of faith and realize that He has been there all along and that you could always count on Him. He loves for you to know that He is with you always.
When you live in the present and allow God’s Spirit to work through you and in you, then you cannot help but help to do good for others. You have such a great desire for the people around you to know God as you do, that even without great effort you share His blessings. Your faith is a powerful thing because you stay plugged in to the Source of all things. Live in that faith today!
“Without faith it is impossible to please Him.” - Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
Let us pray: Lord, thank You for loving us so much that You stick close to us no matter where we are. Help us to stay headfast in our love and in faithfulness to You.

Become More Worthy October 23, 2023
“It is still one of the tragedies of human history that the “children of darkness” are frequently more determined and zealous than the “children of light.” - Martin Luther King
Striving to become something more than you are now takes work. You have to be steadfast in your effort in order to see results. If you’re trying to get in a regular exercise routine, you start with a twenty-minute workout, move to thirty and keep going until you can do an hour with relative ease. You know the outcome you want and you go after it.
We aspire to have the same resolve when it comes to improving our spirits, trying to become more enlightened or more perceptive to the things of God. We might start with twenty minutes of Bible reading and prayer, move to thirty, and then an hour. We do it because we know that the battle rages in the world between those who bear the light and those who would keep themselves and others in darkness. We know that we need to be strong if we’re going to make a difference and encourage the light for all to see.
“I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.” - Revelation 3:19 NLT
Let us pray: Lord, forgive us when we don’t do the things we know would give me more opportunity to grow as a child of light. Help us desire to do so and to follow through for the sake of those you might need us.

The Test of Beauty October 9, 2023
“Characteristics that define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.” - Thomas Aquinas
You know what happens to your face when life gets out of balance. You start to see those worry lines that form around your mouth more clearly. You don’t feel good about anything you wear and you’re just not able to have a “good hair day”. Nothing seems to come together. You may even find that you’re short tempered or mood and that the people around you move out of your way. Your life is out of rhythm and you have no sense of harmony and peace. Your mind is crowded with worry; nothing feels just right and your beauty fades.
When you sense those things happening, it’s time for a new beauty routine. That routine starts by admitting that you are not at peace with yourself and your situation. That routine requires that you ask God to restore you to wholeness and radiance according to His plan and purpose for your life, When you do, you’ll feel beautiful again, maybe not immediately, but soon.
“A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” - Proverbs 15:13 NIV
Let us pray: Lord, we haven’t been ourself lately and we need You to help us get back on track. Help us to find the peace and harmony that Your Spirit brings. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
