At 43 years old I am expecting a baby! I was not happy—at all—when I first found out. I was not rejoicing; I was angry. How could God put this on me now? I like my life just like it is. I have a wonderful husband of 22 years, my 15-year-old miracle son that we

Solomon was a man who had everything – fame, fortune, position, and a very bright future.  He asked God for that which we all long to have…wisdom.  His early years are a testament to what God can do in a life. Unfortunately, having begun with such dignity and promise, Solomon came to a tragic end

Happy International Women's Day!

Today (March 8) we join with people around the globe to observe International Women’s Day. We thought about highlighting famous females from the past, telling stories of Bible heroines, maybe featuring women who “made a difference” . . . but really, every woman makes a difference, whether she knows it or not. No doubt you

Why am I Here?

“Why did God put me here?” It’s an easy question to ask and, at times, a very difficult question to answer. As you seek to answer that question, you should begin by remembering this: You are here because God put you here, and He has important work for you to do. But God’s purposes will

For Every Woman

To be honest, when I first heard of Women of Faith, I thought it was for “those women.” Those “super-spiritual” women like pastor’s wives and Bible study teachers.  Not everyday Christian women like me. I was first invited through the women’s ministry at my church.  We went as a big group.  There was some comfort

I can’t say enough about what the Revolve Tour meant to me as a mom. The middle school years can be difficult as teenagers began to venture out in search of who they are and what life is about. Even in the most well-meaning Christian homes, often a mom can feel as though she has

It all starts with the vows: for richer or poorer. We stand up at our weddings and recite those vows fully expecting that we will happily stand by each other, no matter what. We have big dreams about the life we’re starting with this person we love so much. Every marriage starts with big hopes

2 SAMUEL – A Model of Devotion

David is one of the most beloved characters in human history.  He was triumphant but terribly troubled.  We read his story in the Book of 2 Samuel.  No one has been a brighter star in biblical history, and no one has fallen further. We identify with David whose frailties are colossal, but whose heart sought

Finding Real Peace

Christ Himself is our peace.  —Ephesians 2:14 NCV Some say they have experienced a peace that passes all understanding, but the peace of most is constantly being disrupted by negative thoughts, bad news, frightening medical reports, lack of financial stability, wayward children, unfaithful spouses, conditional love, quarrels and fights, crime, wars and rumors of wars,
