October 28 • Filled with the Fullness of God
“And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19 ESV) It’s my life’s passion to help women “know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19 ESV).

October 27 • Your Body is a Temple
“The food that you’re eating is either hurting you or helping you”. These words from Beloved Women’s Conference speaker Shannon Parker sank deep, mainly because I know it’s true. With TV and the Internet, most of us know what food is good for us and what’s not. The challenge is simply making healthy eating and exercise a

October 26 • Know That He is God
Two words. Temper tantrum. Now you’re thinking of a toddler, right? I usually do too, until I find myself in an unexpected, undesired, and out-of-my-control situation. I think in our own ways, even as bill paying, raising children, staying up as late as we want to adults, we still have temper tantrums in our own

October 25 • Unshaken Faith
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace because they were unwilling to bow down to a false God.

October 22 • Bearing Fruit
Each year, my family and I grow a small garden in our backyard. It is fun to plant, take care of, and watch grow, especially with the kids. But we don’t grow this garden just for fun. We also want actual fruit to enjoy. The same is true for God. In John 15, we learn

October 21 • That Your Joy May Be Full
I’ll be the first to admit I have a very good life, but I would never want to confuse anyone into thinking the joy I have comes from the stuff I have. My joy comes from opening my heart to receive whatever it is that God has for me. For me, it’s being a wife,

October 20 • Children of God
I was sitting on the couch the other day, and my baby boy came and snuggled beside me, looked up at me, and smiled. My heart melted and filled with joy at the same time. At that moment, I was reminded that when you love someone more than life itself, they don’t have to do

October 19 • God is Making Your Steps Firm
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. – Psalm 37:23-24 NIV One of the most challenging things I’ve had to trust God with is myself. I am afraid of messing up, making a
