By: Samantha Brown "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." Psalm 127:3 The other day we were out at the park, and a kind older lady was also there with what seemed to be her grandchildren. She saw me taking some photos of my little ones and said, "Ma'am, you have four beautiful blessings right there. Cherish them. These moments go by so quickly!" The longer I am a mother, the more I treasure the time spent with my little ones. It's

By: Kate Ledbetter And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 I've heard it my whole life: "Don't worry! It will all work out. The Bible says, 'All things work together for good'!" I received Christ at 19 years old, a married preacher's wife. I was already a Bible college graduate, who grew up in Christian school and in a preacher's home. I didn't think there was much I would learn

By:Aleah Winburn “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” — 1 Peter 1:15–16 I do not know how many times I heard the phrase “Because I said so!” growing up. In my younger, more rebellious, pre-salvation years, my favorite response to my parents’ commands was, “Why?” Although not always, most of the time I had good intentions in asking. I simply wanted to understand the reason behi

By: Lauren Speares “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4 Psalm 37:4 is a verse I have heard preached on and quoted by great men of God my entire life. I have even quoted this verse to myself and others as encouragement. When I think of this verse, I immediately think, Okay, if I’m happy serving the Lord, then He will give me everything I desire. Although that is not completely wrong, I have learned there is far more

By: Grace Shiflett “And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.” 2 Kings 4:9 In these verses we read about the Shunammite woman. If you’re not familiar with her story, I would encourage you to take the time to read everything the Bible records about her. I want to challenge your heart from the example she set for us and from the beautiful insight we’re given into her desires. God called her a “great w

By: Belinda Young “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 It is always fun to be around friends and family having a good time and enjoying each other’s company. It is fun to laugh and play games, feeling the love and kindness of people you love. I am sure you have been in the midst of having a good time, and somebody for some reason, gets bent out of

By: Anja Meyer "Pray without ceasing." I Thessalonians 5:17 I am the head chef, master baker, educator, medical assistant, cleaner, health advisor, full-time trainer and entertainer, but most of all, a diligent teacher of God's precious Word, all rolled into one. This is because I am privileged to be called “mum” by eight beautiful children. I could not do anything to deserve or earn this - it was an amazing gift from the Father. More than all the titles and positions I have

BY: Katie Ledbetter “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” Proverbs 13:10 Discord - as in strife (Merriam-Webster) a lack of agreement or harmony (Webster's 1828) 1. Disagreement among persons or things. Between persons, difference of opinions; variance; opposition; contention; strife; any disagreement which produces angry passions, contest, disputes, litigation or war. Discord may exist between families, parties, and nations. 2. Disagreeme

By: Samantha Brown "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:13 If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that God's promises are truth. I can hold Him to His word. In life, holding people to their word is unfortunately not always realistic. Sadly, I've known this as early as childhood. Learning to deal with it emotionally and spiritually are two different things. Personally, I've experienced abuse, hearta

By: Jenny Young “And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.” Esther 2:7 We all know the life of Esther, and what God used her for. What a testimony and legacy Esther left behind for us to read about today. Esther’s life was not an easy life to live. Her parents were dead, she was being raised by
