Grief: How Jesus Prepared the Disciples

by Leave a Comment

Yesterday I shared about grief and how it seems to come out of nowhere. I thought of my visits with my mamaw. She was the place I would go when I was feeling down, needing a little pick-me-up or even a swift kick in the pants. She always had a Bible verse or two (and some ice cream!) to make it ...

There they sit, in silence and grief. Their friend is gone. They feel the loss. The emptiness. The heaviness of the...previous day. And the one person who can make it all better...Gone. There is silence...just a gaping hole in their heart - and deafening silence...

Grief: It Happens When You Least Expect It

by Leave a Comment

Funny how one bowl of cereal can set in motion a whole stream of tears. Last night, as I poured an evening snack, I was reminded of how my grandfather would randomly announce around 9 pm, “Well, we better eat breakfast tonight so we don’t have to eat in the morning.” Mamaw would silently ...

Grief isn’t a one time event. Yes, it hangs on tight in the early days, but slowly loosens it grip over time, while never truly letting go. Over the years something will trigger its grip to tighten and the tears flow again.

Embrace Caring for Ourselves So We Can Embrace Caring for Others

by Leave a Comment

Are you trying to fill the emptiness and exhaustion with physical and emotional food only? If we aren’t re-filling spiritually then we aren’t truly fulfilling our exhaustion. We are simply masking it for a time and as soon as the activity is over, we will still feel weary inside. Feeding and ... READ the POST

As Christ lives in us and guides us to serve others, we must be healthy in all facets of our lives – spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, and yes, even financially – ready in whatever way He calls us to serve.

Opening Our Homes Begins With Opening Our Hearts

And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days 1 Kings 17:15 ESV I have been my own worst enemy when it comes to hospitality. For the longest time I wanted to open my home to other women so they could (hopefully) find a few moments of peace from the ... READ the POST

If we will allow Him to fill the spaces of doubt and insecurity we feel over our perceived shortcomings of our home, we can throw open wide the doors, invite others in, and simple let Jesus use our home as a vessel to love others.

When You Hide Your Heart, Jesus Can’t Come In

by Leave a Comment

The house was a mess as the time grew closer for the women to arrive for Bible study. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to chores I don’t enjoy so I began that frantic ‘throw-everything-in-a drawer-or-closet’ method of cleaning. As I jammed junk into every available hidden space, I prayed no one ... READ the POST

Just like I had done with all the clutter in my home, I had taken emotional junk – hurts, struggles, doubts, and fears – and crammed it into hiding places within my heart and closed it off so others wouldn’t see my messy struggles. Here’s the hard truth: when I shut the door to my heart to keep others from seeing, I also keep Jesus from getting in.

You Don’t Have To Do It All

by 4 Comments

  by Stephanie K Adams Real Women Ministries Girls, I'm just not called to do it ALL.  And neither are you.  Whew, isn't that a relief.  Now that we have that out of the way, let's refocus on GOD and what HIS calling is for our lives.  We can spend too much time and energy ... READ the POST

We can spend too much time and energy doing some very good things, but if it is not what God has called us to, we are not being obedient.
