Sleeping is something that I am horrible at. This has been true for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was terrified of the dark, had horrible night terrors, and was just anxious about sleeping in general. Beside my bed was a picture of a puppy with a Bible verse, ‘Be Still…

While there are many more amazing women in the Bible, I’m ending this series with Mary Magdalene. When Jesus arose from the dead, He didn’t seek out one of His apostles. He didn’t wait for the next man to come along and show Himself to. It was a woman named Mary Magdalene. Now Mary is…

For weeks, I’ve had one Biblical woman on my mind to write about, one that there isn’t much written about. She’s in a tiny snippet, and I feel unqualified to write about her. However, as I’ve continued to look into, and try to write about other women, God continued to keep her front and center…

Deborah was a prophetess, we hear about her in Judges 4. She was also the leader of Israel at that time. She led her people to war, and they were victorious! Can you imagine back then, a mere woman is not only leading God’s people, but she leads them in war as well. What a…

Imagine being a young virgin woman, engaged to a young man, and you become pregnant. Your story only gets crazier, because it involves an angel coming down to tell you that you will become pregnant with the Son of God. It’s a supernatural conception. Welcome to Mary’s story. Who was Mary, that God chose her…

Esther is my favorite book. In fact, my favorite movie is One Night With The King, a movie about Esther. I highly recommend it. It’s a slow but beautifully done movie, that I don’t think anyone in my life has actually watched. Esther was a young Jewish woman who was being raised by her cousin…

For quite some time now, I’ve heard from many different ‘Christians’ that females are supposed to be subservient, that women aren’t supposed to have leadership roles. This is objectively false. The Bible is filled with stories of women who were used by God for greatness. From Esther taking a stand for her people to Deborah…

1 Corinthians 13:13 says ‘And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love’. You see, love is life. Love is everything. When you love someone, they become more important to you than yourself. You find yourself doing things you hate, because you love the person you are doing…

When I think about love never failing, I think of God’s love. As humans, we are imperfect, and because of that we fail, even unintentionally. God is perfect, and His love is an unfailing love. I spent decades feeling like God had failed me. In the midst of agony, I felt alone, and couldn’t feel…

When my late husband died, I had many people tell me that I would get over him. I’d move on. Either they doubted my love for him, or they knew nothing of love. The truth is, even in death, I love him. Love doesn’t just disappear or weaken because someone is gone. Love is lasting.…
