The holiday season can be fun and exciting! It can also be a time for exhaustion, overwhelm, frustration and irritability. Especially for women who are driven to BE & DO & GO. God has created the Sabbath for US. His children. To Rest. Recover. Restore. He knows how much better we will feel if we simply stop and take a sabbath. A sabbath helps us to recover and reset.  But we often choose not to ta...

Depression. It can sneak up and attack at any time. Depression isn't fun and it can really show up around the holidays. So many women struggle with depression and think it is their fault.

REST. Sounds good but it's hard to do for some of us women, right? Rest is a topic that God has to keep bringing up to me that He has been teaching me about for years but specifically the last 2 years.  (I can be a slow learner sometimes!) Rest is necessary and it goes beyond a good nights sleep. Rest helps us physically of course but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  But do you rest th...

Fearful?  Or do you recognize this time in the wilderness as a chance to grow closer to God? This isn't easy friend, is it?

Are you too tired to work out? I know how hard it is to be feeling drained, exhausted and completely worn out yet still wanting (or thinking) I should do a work out.  I used to push myself to get in my work out even when my body was crying NO.  I usually felt much worse the next day and even more exhausted and fatigued.  It's really not ideal to push yourself through intense exercise when you are...

Rejection. Feeling left out. We have all felt rejected or left out at some time right?  The Samaritan woman at the well felt those things too. Rejected. Left out. Unwanted.  Until she met "a man who told her everything I have ever done."  JESUS.

Are you struggling with daily fatigue or low energy?  SO many women are. But living with daily fatigue and consistent low energy doesn't have to be your every day life. There is SO much you can do about your fatigue and low energy.  Your fatigue and low energy isn't about your age.  Your fatigue and low energy isn't about your hormones. (thought certainly that can play a role!) Your lifestyle habi...

Today I share some biblical truths that I gleaned from reading Numbers 13.  We have to remember what God SAYS and not what we SEE. As people who like to be in control, we have a choice to make: we can worry, stress, fear and wonder in the moment OR we can trust God at His word.  It's within this tension that we can give Satan a foothold and allow him to get into our mind. Keeping us in a state of...
