We See Plainly
Hi sisters, God showed me two phrases within days of each other and they both keep replaying in my mind. The first comes from a story about Issac in Genesis 26. “Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar … Continue reading We See Plainly
Transformation Thread
Hi sisters, I’ve been skimming back through my quiet times and I’m having a difficult time putting any into words. My quiet times have felt more personal the last few months- which makes it hard to explain without a huge backstory! Certain words or phrases seem to be “popping off the page” and ministering to … Continue reading Transformation Thread
Broken Assumptions
Hi sisters, A few friends and I read the book of Matthew together a few months ago. (Quick note: do you have Bible-reading companions? I hope you do!). I was reading through some of my notes and came across a day that stood out to me. I can’t believe I never posted about it! Well … Continue reading Broken Assumptions

I noticed this while reading through Proverbs. In the past few weeks, I have read through I and II Samuel in my … Continue reading Wisdom and Danger

If someone orders now through … Continue reading Strive With Me (Introduction)
Strive With Me

Finally, I decided to continue writing and turn it into a book! My book is titled Strive With Me: A Call for Women's Discipleship. Below I have copied and … Continue reading Strive With Me
Ebenezer
Hi sisters, This word, ebenezer, came up in my quiet time in I Samuel 7. The short background is this. The people of Israel were turning from serving Baal and Ashtaroth to serving Yahweh only. Samuel asked the people to gather at a place called Mizpah where he would pray for the people. Here is … Continue reading Ebenezer
Honor and Honesty
Hi sisters, I just finished the book of Judges and wow, I'm SO glad I'm done. It was brutal reading through it (some pun intended). There's not too many "happy" or "encouraging" moments in Judges. In fact, chapter 2 sets the stage for the rest of the book and it is pretty grim: "They abandoned … Continue reading Honor and Honesty
