Why It’s So Important To Memorize Scripture

I know memorizing Scripture can be hard. It’s intimidating, and it’s a hard habit to not only implement but stick to. To be honest with you, this is a discipline I know I have plenty of room to grow in, but one I want to grow in desperately. When I have taken the time to memorize Scripture, it’s been incredible to see the different instances when God has brought His Words to the forefront of my mind when I’ve needed them most. I want to have more experiences like that. And friend, I want you to have more experiences like that, too.

Habits To Cultivate In Your Single Season

Not long after I got engaged, I remember people frequently saying things like, “Your life is about to change,” or “Things will never be the same once you get married,” or even “Marriage is a whole new way of life.” However, I don’t know if those people who talked to me about the changes that came with marriage were 100% correct. While it’s true that my life changed a lot when I got married, not everything about my life changed. There were quite a few things that stayed the same, like the habits I had created in my singleness (for better or worse).

Fighting Stress With Spiritual Disciplines

Stress is an inevitable part of life. When we find ourselves in stressful situations, particularly like the ones we’re experiencing now across our nation, God wants us to come to the place where we learn to handle stress in a healthy way. Of all the ways we can deal with stress, both good and bad, I believe the best way to handle stress is to practice the right disciplines

Are You Settling For A Secondhand Relationship With Jesus?

I’ve recently gotten hooked on watching videos of people getting facials on TikTok. I don’t know if that makes me lame or weird or just old, but I don’t care. It’s so relaxing.

Be Careful What You Consume

Well hello friend! It’s good to be back! If you are a regular reader of these devotions, you probably noticed that I didn’t post any new content on Thursday or Friday of last week. What started out with some technical difficulties and ended with a round of food poisoning, the end of my week last week did not got at all as planned, hence the gap in my content creation schedule. But I do appreciate you showing up and reading once again even when I fail to be as consistent as I want to be. I’m super grateful for the extra grace!

A Beginner’s Guide To Prayer

After working and/or serving in ministry for the last several years, there’s one particular topic that so many people seem to struggle with in their walk with God, and that is prayer. Some people have trouble knowing how to pray or what to say. Some feel insecure about praying out loud. Some people struggle with only praying when they need something from God, rather than having a consistent, open dialogue with Him. And others are hesitant to pray because they aren’t sure if it will really make a difference or if God is even listening.

How To Have A Thriving Relationship With Jesus

I discovered the miraculous effects of a good skincare routine about five years ago. (Rabbit trails on YouTube will do that to you.) Before I knew it, I was headed to the store to buy cleansers, toners, serums, exfoliants, moisturizers, and even under-eye cream (because wrinkles in your twenties are something no one warned me about).
