It’s 2026, and what a gift it is to step into a brand-new year. Every new year feels like a fresh page, full of possibility, hope, and a little reflection. Many of us think about New Year’s resolutions: things we want to change, habits we want to build, or areas where we hope to grow. In every church I’ve ever been part of, whether they talked about resolutions or not, there was one shared practice at the start of the year: fasting. Fasting is one of the spiritual disciplines

Welcome to 2026! I love today’s passage. It has been my go-to Scripture ever since my family moved back to the United States from Portugal. These verses were given to me by my pastor when we said our goodbyes. She shared that the Lord had laid these words on her heart specifically for me. I am always so blessed by encounters like that. My soul can be a little noisy at times, so I deeply appreciate it when people who are more mature in the faith speak messages from God into my

It is the last week of 2025, and I am more than ready to welcome a new year. But before I rush ahead into what’s next, I feel the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit reminding me to pause.  Before we move forward, we must reflect.  Reflection invites us to look honestly at the year behind us—to consider the choices we made and the consequences that followed. It invites sacred questions:  What do I need to leave in 2025?   What do I want to carry into this new season?   How have I

A heartfelt reminder for every woman walking with Jesus The cross is the heart of the Christian faith, a symbol of sacrifice, love, and victory. For women of faith, understanding what Christ accomplished through the cross brings hope, strength, and a deeper connection to God’s promises. The cross is not just a historical event; it is the foundation of our salvation and the source of many blessings that shape our daily lives. Let’s explore seven powerful truths about what Chri

How faith hope and love equip us to face our slain enemy. Spiritual warfare is real. Scripture makes that abundantly clear. From the very beginning, the enemy has been intent on deceiving, discouraging, and destroying God’s people. The Bible tells us he is crafty, subtle, persuasive, and relentless. His desire is that we would share in his fate, separated from God and trapped in fear. We can see evidence of his influence everywhere: in our entertainment, our culture, and even

As a mother to seven, I know all too well about the struggle of trying to get your kids to listen and to do what you want them to do. For years I tried to parent my way, raising my voice, threatening, punishing, and hoping my children would fall in line simply because I said so. But none of it worked. My husband and I bounced between exhaustion, frustration, and survival, often feeling like we were fighting one battle after the next. Some days we tag-teamed; other times we ig

Let’s be honest—praising God isn’t always easy. When life feels like one storm after another, it can be hard to lift our hands or even whisper a “thank You.” Our hearts feel heavy, and sometimes, our faith wobbles a bit. But friend, that’s exactly when our praise means the most. That’s why the Bible calls it a “sacrifice of praise.”  God knows it’s not always easy—but He’s always worthy. As women of faith, we’re invited to go deeper in our walk with Him—to worship through the

A Devotional Reflection for Women of Faith As women pursuing the heart of God, it’s vital that we understand who  He truly is — not just in theory or tradition, but in truth and relationship. The Bible doesn’t introduce us to a distant, abstract force or an impersonal deity. Instead, it reveals a living, loving, and deeply personal God. We may not be able to see His face, yet His presence and character are woven into every corner of creation. Romans 1:20 reminds us: “For sinc

I know—these are two words our culture doesn’t like. No one wants to feel vulnerable , and no one wants to be in need. Western culture celebrates independence and self-reliance. We are taught to stand tall, stay strong, and figure it out on our own. But in God’s Kingdom, the values are beautifully reversed. Vulnerability and need are not weaknesses—they are sacred gateways to intimacy. If we truly desire to know and trust God, we must learn to open our hearts to Him, to come
