My house is a zoo 99% of the time. My kids are either fighting over a coveted toy, whining for a snack or just being rambunctious kids. Even though sometimes my “quiet time”, a time devoted to growing my relationship with God through Scripture reading, is anything BUT quiet, these simple methods helped me learn…
My days were filled with changing diapers, watching cartoons, preventing meltdowns (or coping with another episode of full-on rage), and snuggles. There wasn’t much time to have a quick shower or finish my own meal let alone study God’s Word consistently. Plus, there was always that guilt and shame from “the church”. You know what…
Let’s be honest. . . When life is overwhelming, it’s incredibly tempting to cut out our daily Bible study. It doesn’t seem logical to do something seemingly unproductive when our to-do list is a mile long. But while it may seem unproductive, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. When we aren’t rooted in Truth,…
Do you know the benefits of seeking God in the morning, have great intentions to make it happen, but someone or something gets in your way? Do you long to study the Bible and have a thriving morning prayer time, but sometimes that feels impossible? Maybe you’re good for a few days, but then something…
Finally. Silence. The house has been crazy all morning. Your littles thought today would be a great day to “do crafts” while you were taking 5 minutes to jump in the shower. But, your 5-minute reprieve turned into an hour long scrubbing glue and googling ‘hacks to clean up all the glitter.’ But never mind…

I’ve never been great at consistency and honestly, forming new habits doesn’t come easily for me. Can you relate, friend? Therefore, when I started reading God’s…
With Easter on the horizon, I longed to journey through Scripture and walk through the last weeks of Jesus’ life. My heart needed to be refreshed and reminded how Christ endured suffering to sacrifice His life for mine. For convenience, I created an Easter Bible reading plan that’s perfect for the whole family. It’s…
Sometimes being a parent resembles a juggling act in the circus. As the master ring leader, I’m supposed to keep everyone tame and calm. Yet sometimes that’s just not reality. Even as a parent who wants to raise kids who love the Lord, family devotions can be a struggle Why is it that someone needs…
Life can be hectic and chaotic. The modern adult is racing from one activity to the next and feels pushed and pulled in 1,000 different directions. And as a society, we are longing for peace, searching for hope and waiting for restoration. We long to connect more with our family and according a recent study…
It was the break of dawn, and the sun had not yet graced the sky with its presence. Dew glistened on the lawn, sparkling like gems in the predawn light. There I sat, clutching my coffee and my Bible, willing the sleepy fog away. I had great intentions to spend time in prayer and dive…
