My body started to quit on me. I developed anxiety, panic disorder, I was constantly nauseous, and constantly violently ill. My brain had checked out. I had moments of being coherent, and knowing something wasn’t right, but they were short lived. E broke me. He knew where to hurt me physically, and how, so there…

Fake Christians are probably the people I despise the most. They make it near-impossible to bring people to Christ, because so many people have come across a fake Christian, and it’s left a nasty taste in their mouth. I can’t say that I blame them. Christians are supposed to be Christ-like. We have all seen…

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…

Hope used to be a foreign feeling to me. Something I felt was a stupid emotion for suckers. When I was in my several years long abusive relationship, I watched as my family had hope I’d wake up. I watched the heartache, the tears, the anger, and the devastation my family felt as they watched…

This is a difficult one. Trust is intimidating. It’s frightening. For me, trusting someone not to berate me, rape me, beat me, isolate me, own me, seemed not only impossible, but stupid. I had been beaten down by enough people in my life that I had closed myself off from even thinking about trusting anyone…
