Category Archives for "Tips & Lessons From My Faith Journey"

My faith journey and walk with the Lord have been rollercoasters. Why? Some of it is my stubbornness, and some of it is this crazy thing called life. But no matter what, Jesus is my savior, and I will follow Him no matter what. These blog posts are some lessons and tips I’ve learned as I’ve gotten closer (and further away) from the Lord during my faith journey. As you’ll see, writing my feelings, thoughts, and ideas in a Bible and prayer journal has been a huge part of my story and I highly recommend ya’ll get one too!

Can Christian Women Practice Witchcraft & Still Please God?

I am the queen of going down rabbit holes.

Have you ever started typing a phrase into Google or Pinterest and had a phrase pop up and you just had to know what that phrase was about?

That’s what happened to me on Pinterest.

I was trying to type in Christian women into Pinterest. As I was typing, one of the suggested terms that popped up was Christian witch.

I thought “Wait, what? That’s not a thing. Surely, no Christians practice witchcraft.”

Turns out I was wrong.

Christian witchcraft is a thing.

Except it’s not really a thing and yet some people sincerely believe that it is.

I truly wanted to cry while I was writing this post.

I had no idea that Christian witches existed although I should have known because the devil never rests and is always looking to deceive as many people as possible.

I’m so heartbroken that women are falling into this trap thinking that they are walking with God when they are not. Maybe I should word this post in a nicer way but I can’t sugarcoat this.

As I strive to become more like a Proverbs 31 woman, it’s imperative to “speak with wisdom and faithful instruction”.

I will not mince words.Continue reading

5 Unique Characteristics Of The Proverbs 31 Woman That Will Blow Your Mind (With Journaling Prompts)

5 Characteristics Of The Proverbs 31 Woman

Even though she isn’t exactly real, the Proverbs 31 woman is legendary.

Christian women all over the world read this chapter in Proverbs and try and pattern their lives off of this amazing and virtuous woman.

And it’s no wonder.

She basically did it all and didn’t seem to break a sweat. She was a godly wife to her husband. Clearly a loving mother to her children. She kept the home in order and trusted God in everything she did.

Now, I’m not going to try and persuade you that you need to follow in her footsteps because it kinda makes me tired just thinking about everything she did.

But I did think it would be awesome to look at the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 woman a little differently and then reflect on those traits with some journaling prompts.

You see, the Proverbs 31 Woman lived a healthy life…and I don’t just mean physically.

I mean she was financially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy, as well.

In today’s post, I will be talking about how she is healthy in these 5 areas and then give you some journaling prompts related to them.

I hope that these journaling prompts will inspire you to think about these different areas of your life in a meaningful way and give you a new perspective.

9 Powerful Bible Verses To Overcome Anxiety & How To Use Them In Your Bible Journal!

Powerful Bible Verses To Overcome Anxiety As Christians 

If there was ever a time when we need Bible verses to overcome anxiety, it is now!

Why? Because an estimated 40 million Americans are suffering from anxiety.

And while there should be no Christian women counted in that number I know for sure that there are (I am one of them).

Why shouldn’t any of us struggle with anxiety?

Because Jesus told us about a million different times not to be anxious ( give or take a few times).

Yet so often we still can’t overcome the constant worry and doubt that plagues so many of us.

So I thought it would be good to have a devotional and remind ourselves of 9 major things the Bible says about overcoming anxiety.

Let’s Define Some Words First…

You’ve finally done the impossible.

Your to-do list in hand, (either digitally or on paper) you have a firm grasp of what tasks need to be done and by George, you’re determined to do them.

And guess what?

By some miracle, you checked off every single item on your list.

Brimming with pride as you make that last checkmark with a flourish, you feel more accomplished than you have in a while.

That’s because normally, your to-do list turns into a to-do later (or never) list. So you feeling good and you should.

BUT…

I know from experience that a lot of the time the stuff on my to-do list, worthy though they may seem at the time, they often aren’t the most important things that need to get done.Continue reading

18 Positive Affirmations To Stop Procrastinating & Journal Your Way to Your God-Given Dreams

– Positive Daily Affirmations To Stop Procrastinating & Pursue Your God-Given Dreams

Today we are going to talk about affirmations to stop procrastinating (and so much more)! Why?

Because you know the Lord is calling you to do something different with your life. Not just like buying a new Bible or praying a little bit longer or trying that new Sunday school class.

No, He wants you to do something big. Radical. Scary (yikes). And he’s been wanting you to do it for a while now…like maybe even years.

And you keep saying to yourself that one day you’ll actually do it…

But you’re too scared to jump out there in faith and start whatever it is that he’s been wanting you to do.

So you procrastinate because your anxiety is off the charts.

You let everything including the kitchen sink (hey the dishes have to get done, amirite?) get in the way of following God’s plan for your life (ask me how I know). 

So today I hope to give you some encouragement! If you have a God-given dream and you can’t stop putting it off, then I think the two articles in this series will help you.

I’m going to share with you some actionable tips & positive affirmations to help you overcome procrastination and how to use them in your journal so you can finally make your God-given dreams a reality!Continue reading
