How do we, as busy moms, connect with the Lord? How do we nurture our walk with God in the midst of such activity? For homeschool moms it can be a challenge, but connecting with God in a quiet place is the first step. When Jesus needed to connect with God, He escaped to a lonely place. This is hard to do unless we are willing to awaken an hour or more before our family does. I’m not going to pretend this was an easy thing for me when all my children were in the home. It wasn’t. But it […]

One day a friend called and urged me to go to a particular prayer meeting at another friend’s house. Normally, I’m up for prayer of any kind. Yet my time is so limited that I’ve become very dependent upon the Lord in every decision I make—even something as simple as whether or not to hop on over to a prayer meeting. I wanted to go, but as I prayed I felt I should stay home and spend time with the family. I felt a twinge of “spiritual guilt” (you know, that kind of illegitimate guilt that says you “should” do this and […]

I just love prayer. I’m so thankful that God has ordained it as the means by which He moves. I wish everyone could experience answers—miraculous answers—to prayers like I do. I believe it’s God’s will that everyone does, for His word tells us prayer avails much! John Wesley once said, “God will do nothing, but in answer to prayer.”I don’t know if that’s true, but it sure seems like it sometimes. I have recently begun to pray regularly again with a prayer partner. Now I believe that individual prayers are powerful. When I get up early and pray for specific […]

There are times in our walk with God when we feel distant from Him, yet we aren’t sure how to get back to that place of intimacy we once knew so well. Our lives are so busy and our days are jam packed with things to do and places to go. Worries, concerns, and endless plans send our thoughts racing. We wonder how we’ll ever find our way back to drawing near to God.   In this situation, one thing is for certain: we won’t reconnect if we don’t make the effort to do it. God is knocking at the door […]

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Ephesians 4:1 Did you know you have a calling? Every believer has been given a calling. We are told in Ephesians 2:10 that we were “created for good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Usually our calling is not hard to find, for it is embedded in our character, our passions, and our dreams. A compassionate person, full of mercy, is called to minister God’s healing to the hurting and confused. An insightful, discerning person is […]
