Women

Trying to remain in complete control only brings temporary security. Those who seek to reign over their environments will realize that...life happens...regardless.

Desperation should not be the reason a woman enters a relationship. She should not be driven by the culture, an amped up biological clock, or nosy family members who never tire of asking, “When are you going to get married?” The decision to engage in a relationship should begin with God.

Uttering these five words will make you stop short of your dreams and calling. I'm guilty of saying them...are you?

In case the concept of spending quiet time with God is unfamiliar to you (as it was to me for a long time), it’s basically taking time either within your normal prayer time or throughout the day to get silent before God and listen for His voice.

Some days get hard. We feel exhausted. Worn. Tired of fighting. About ready to give up. Feeling like we can’t go on. The enemy seems to be hot on our trail. And we wonder if we’ve been left on our own.

For those who are battle-weary, here's some real hope for you this day…

We all look for love; many of us fill our hearts with material things when we don’t find it. This powerful film tells the story of Ali, who, after attaching her self-worth to a beautiful wedding ring, learns a priceless lesson in generosity that will last her a lifetime.

What is it in your life that is holding you back from loving the life God gave you?

He longs for us to spend time with Him…no matter how busy life gets!

For though there's a lot that may be left undone at the end of every day, if we're living close to the One who created the day and cares about us more than we could ever imagine, that's where true life is found.

Many people forget—caffeine is a drug. It alters mood, behavior, and the chemical workings of your body. There are probably more people addicted to caffeine than any other drug on the planet. Maybe more than all other drugs combined. So you might be surprised to hear me say—that’s not necessarily a bad thing....

Are you currently in a place of waiting? Though we’re all familiar with it, we can often grow wearing in our waiting, and our hearts grow heavy with worry and doubt.   Sometimes we might wonder if God has forgotten about us or given up on us....

But take heart...find your encouragement.

Planning to watch a sad movie? Beware: It may make you pig out on the popcorn!

Robin Miller, MD, tells us why, and gives us suggestions to avoid emotional eating.  

Did you hear about a new coffee company that calls itself the “anti-Starbucks”?  They are offering free cars to 100 single moms – all in the name of Christ.

And lives are being changed by it!

Four bad relationships later, I realized glass slippers were really hard to walk in (plus, I could never figure out that trademark loose-tendril-Princess-bun) Prince Charming didn’t exist.

Well, I was right—and wrong. It turns out there is a Prince, but I’d confused His identity with ones in fleshly form....

There’s a question that lingers in the minds of some people, a question often stirred up by racial tension, political debate, or for historical accuracy. What color was Jesus? 

Where's what we know, and the importance of it.

Do you feel God asking you to leave your job and step into something new, yet you’re worried about the financial implications? If so, here are five truths that encourage me when it comes to releasing money worries. I hope they encourage you

As women, we are constantly pressured by social media, billboards, and even relationships to look a certain way. We know that our identity is found in Christ, but it doesn’t make the mirror any more forgiving.

As a single, I have learned that I have been waiting on too much from a non-existent but hoped-for relationship.

These 3 qualities are what expecting "too much" from a relationship looks like.  Do you have them?

Too often, we suspect that great riches hide behind all those closed doors; we imagine that God is withholding the best. But that's not who God is.
