Devotions written for today’s Christian women.
I sat in the early morning sunshine today. The earth greeted me with birds singing and bees buzzing on the purple coneflowers in the bed beyond the front porch. The days have been long. Worries many. Yet life continued… remained.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV Rest your weary head, for God has declared that He is doing a…
I grew up in the church. I fell in love with Jesus the summer before I started high school, and I was baptized two days after my 20th birthday. But life isn’t easy. One of my favorite Scriptures is Psalm 118:17 where it says, “I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the…
Have you ever been moved by someone’s care and kindness? This past weekend I introduced my friend to one of the pastors of our church. The pastor offered to pray for my friend and her family, a family that he didn’t know, and I was incredibly touched by how much love and care he had…
Struggling, struggling, struggling. I don’t know why life is such a struggle. Can’t I just sit back in my cozy home surrounded by family and comfort? Okay, so I’ll go to work then I can come home and relax, can’t I? I deserve the rest. I deserve the quiet. But the prodding. Oh, my sweet…

“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”~ Revelation 3:14-16 I know two different types of ladies, both have been Christians for a long time – decades.
