Crazy Contentment

          Are you content?               Do you have everything you heart desires?                      God wants us to be content.  “But godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Tim 6:6).”  This is easier said than done.  It might even seem crazy. But with God all things are possible, even being content in the most [...]

Bible Study for Women: Wholly Holy

Strength: Building Physical Muscle

         In my weaker days of physicality I was certainly a different person.  I had less energy, less motivation and in general, a negative attitude.  As I began exercising and putting a real emphasis on my physical fitness, I noticed a difference.  Life got better and better.  Not only did I feel better and have more [...]

The Voices We Listen To

          As women, we tend to spend a lot of time comparing ourselves to other women whether it’s someone on TV, someone we see in passing, a close friend or even a relative.  This is another tactic Satan uses against us as we strive for holiness.  This past weekend I had the opportunity to see “Behold [...]

Seeing the Whole Picture

“I’m fat.” “My butt is huge.” “Nothing looks good on me.” “I’m not pretty.” “If only I looked like her.”    Sound familiar? These are just a few of the thoughts women entertain when looking in the mirror.           For years I grieved the Holy Spirit by complaining about my body.  It’s very easy for [...]

God’s Guilt Free Plan of Grace: Part 2

             Do you feel guilt when you sin?  Hopefully, you are in tune with the Holy Spirit’s prompting and nudging and your answer is “yes”.  However, it’s what you end up doing with that guilt that really makes the difference.  All of us deal with guilt from the sins we commit.  The guilt acts as a voice in [...]

God’s Guilt Free Plan of Grace: Part I

written by: Britainy Sholl             How often do you feel guilty?                  I love guilt … because when I feel guilt, I am probably doing something I shouldn’t be doing!  It keeps me on track and guilt can be a great  tool when used properly.  On the other hand, guilt can weigh us down when we [...]

The Mouth: What goes in and comes out?

                Let’s begin today by thinking about what goes into our mouths (the physical).  Each thing we eat is a choice.  Obviously, I was making the wrong choices a lot!  Granted, I’d had two babies within two years but there was no reason for me to get to a point where I just had accepted unhealthy [...]
