Overcome people-pleasing!

We often hear it said, "overcome people", or "stop being a people-pleaser"... but what's really the big deal about wanting to make others happy?? At the core, a people-pleaser is someone that wants to please others, and I'll admit that growing up I really had it bad! People would always come to me with all sorts of requests, and I just about always said yes regardless if it meant increasing the workload for myself. Hey, in my mind I had a huge heart and just wanted to do good by people. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbors and display kindness, but the issue comes when respondin ..read more

Vanity or Obedience?

Wanna know a secret?? I hate social media! However, in these times it is the biggest platform to use when you want to promote/advertise/ get the word out regarding your endeavors. So after seeking God, being pushed by family/ friends I decided to expand my blog to Instagram. But why God would you want me to do that when I do NOT like being the center of attention (taking selfies/ videos/ or anything in abundance that may come across as vain)?? Are Christian influencers promoting vanity? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ These are all questions that crossed my mind and possible distractions from the enemy ..read more

The War in My Mind

There's a war going on in my mind... missiles launching and weapons of mass destruction sent to take me out. That's what an attack from the enemy can look like and he doesn't fight fair. He will broadcast deceit and lies in your mind that are pretty crafty and believable-- his very mission is to disturb your peace. If he can take over your mind, the devil has won the fight. The good news is that the battle waged on our minds by the enemy was already won-- we just have to remember to use our secret weapon! TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE AND MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST (2Cor 10:5). God already knew ..read more

If you're a mom and you're anything like me-- you get your "me time" at night once the babies have gone to sleep! So I created this meditation with you mommies in mind! Lately, I've been needing to dig a little deeper in the word because our lives can become so scheduled and busy that our devotion is quick and surface level. I took this opportunity to unwind and focus on God all at the same time. This was the perfect set-up for reading the word of God, worship, and prayer. Studies show that meditation reduces heart rate, blood pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, and the sensation of pain ..read more

Many Christians get entangled with the idea of medication vs God's healing power-- what did God intend for us? As we search the word regarding Christians and medicine we find the following scriptures to list a few: Jeremiah 51:8 (NIV): Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed. Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV): A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. Luke 5:31 (NIV): ,Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." The Bible shows us that God gave us medicine to use as ..read more

Do you wrestle with mood swings, depression, anxiety, or simply feel unwell? That's not the life God intended for us-- He wants us to live this life abundantly! What actions will you take to accomplish that? We are continuing the ..read more
