We feel that there is not any hope in sight, You are not hopeless or helpless. Jesus sees you, He sees your situation. He understands what you are going through. He will help you and strengthen you. You are not alone. So will you...

A mothers tears are worth their weight in gold. They are not wasted or spent on things that are fleeting. No, they are meant for the important moments, the moments of joy, moments of sorrow or moments of fear. Every salty drop is tied to an emotion that has to do with her children. Most mothers can remember those times when they have wept for their children. We know we have. We recall those times...

Did you know that when you accepted Christ you became a part of an army? You are now a fighter with a mission and soldier your mission is to break chains and defeat the enemy.

Conditional love will only get you so far. It will only last so long until one day you stop meeting the expectations of the one holding their love captive. Love with strings attached, love with stipulations, love for exchange of service is not of God. True unconditional love comes without requirements. It's just "love". God gives us that unconditional love when others fail to. Without God there is...

How relatable is Job? We can all remember a time that we were in a valley or a storm in life. Where we couldn't see the outcome it wasn't being reveled to us.

Disobedience is the failure or refusal to obey rules or someone of authority. Who has the greatest authority? The Lord. How often do we ask for answers and God's response is not what we want to hear? How often does God call you to change and obey him but we respond with disobedience? Just as a child, if we did not listen to our parents there were real consequences. The same is when we disobey God....

Did you know that God has placed a calling on your life? Did you know that without complete surrender to Him you cannot be trusted with that calling?

Lord, please help us to trust you more than we tru...

As a mom have you ever experienced "mom guilt"? Well if your a mom then I am sure you have. What is this guilt? It is our own unrealistic expectations that we set for ourselves.

Wow that couldn't be the furthest from the truth. So that is why we are here. To share with others th...
