Salvation is Found in the Lord

Today´s Scripture introduces us to Hosea and Jeroboam. Hosea was a prophet. His name means “salvation” and comes from the same Hebrew root (hoshea) as the names Joshua and Jesus. Throughout the book, Hosea will show us that salvation is found in turning to the Lord and away from our

Brave to Fight the Good Fight

We live in a world that needs to see brave women rise up. I have the honor and privilege of raising 3 daughters. More than anything, I want my girls to follow hard after God. I want them to choose to live counter-culturally and flee from what the world values,

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” Isaiah 9:2 Darkness came to the people of Israel when the Assyrians took them into captivity. The northern kingdom of Israel was never restored and

Choosing Joy in the Midst of Trials

I love this time of year. January is a month for new beginnings, restarts, new goals, and yearly resolutions…which, if I’m honest, I always struggle to keep. It’s a time for looking over the previous year and reflecting on the good, the bad and yes…even the ugly. A time to

What God Starts, He Will Complete

“Mama, look!” My six-year-old squealed as she ran into the kitchen carrying her lopsided pumpkin. It was an easy going Saturday morning. As I cleaned up from a late breakfast, my husband and our girls were headed outside to carve their pumpkins. My baby girl came over to the table
