7 Creative Ways To Spend Time With God Even When You’re Short On Time!

7 Creative Ways To Spend More Time With God Everyday Even When You’re Short On Time!

Spending time with God is always important but right now, with how crazy the world seems, it feels even more vital. 

But even as essential as it is to spend quality time with God, it still seems like so much of life gets in the way of this happening. 

In our busyness, our time with our heavenly Father gets pushed to the side in favor of “more pressing” things.

We’ll say “I’ll do my study tomorrow” and then 10 tomorrows go by and we still haven’t spent any time with the Lord. 

So what’s a Christian woman with a busy schedule supposed to do?

We could say no more often but if you’ve already committed to long-term, time-consuming commitments, it’s a bad witness to abandon your responsibilities. 

You need some creative ideas that can help you spend more time with Jesus whether it be in prayer, Bible study, through worship and singing, Bible journaling, etc. 

Being alone with God on a frequent basis is one of the best ways to obtain the spiritual growth that God wants us to have (and that we want too).

Alone time with God is one of the most important aspects of Christian living.

That’s why I’ve come up with some unique ways to spend more time with Jesus even when you’re short on time!

These are ideas that you probably haven’t considered.

In fact, some of the ideas are a little outside of the box so to speak so you’ll have to be a little open-minded with me here 🙂

None of these ideas are meant to take the place of a true deep dive Bible study.

But they will still help you stay connected to the Father because you’ll be spending time with Him throughout the day. 

Okay now, let’s go ahead and get started.

35 Eye-Opening Journal Prompts To Find Forgiveness & Peace When Anger Plagues You!

35 Journal Prompts For Forgiveness To Help Release Pain & Anger

If you’re struggling to forgive yourself or someone else, I know exactly how that feels.

Trust me…you’re not alone. 

We all have a past, one that we’re sometimes not proud of… but how can we ever move past our guilt if we don’t forgive ourselves for our sins and past mistakes? 

The same goes for when someone we love hurts us; even when (or if) they apologize, it can seem almost impossible to forgive them.

Because it feels like we are letting them off the hook or like they got away with something. 

As Christian women, yes, the Bible tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves, but when someone deeply hurts us and we cannot seem to heal, how can we move on from this pain? 

One powerful way is with journal prompts!

Let me tell you… journaling has been a powerful tool for exploring my feelings and working through my emotions. 

Penning down my thoughts and feelings helped me understand them better and became a great way to release the negative energy that seemed trapped inside me.

Have you found yourself in this same situation? Well, it’s time to let go of your anger and forgive yourself and others.

Grab a pen and paper; let’s get through this journaling journey together!

30 Christian Faith Journal Prompts To Elevate Your Faith & Get Closer To God

Okay, my loves! Today we are going to talk about using faith journal promptsDo you ever ask where God is when everything in your life seems to be going wrong?

I know I have plenty of times!  Sometimes it seems like God isn’t even trying to answer our prayers even though He tells us to pray without ceasing.

It can get to be so frustrating that we start doubting Him.

Thoughts like “Does He hear our prayers?” “And if He does, hear them, does He care” begins to run through our minds.

These doubts and uncertainties are one of the main reasons why I love Christian journaling.

Writing down your prayers, thoughts cares, and fears in a journal is a wonderful way to be able to reflect back on your faith journey and remind yourself that God does indeed care and answer your prayers!

And using Christian journaling prompts is a great way to spark some inspiration when you aren’t sure what to write.  Let’s learn about some of the spiritual benefits of using a Christian journal.

Why Do So Many Teens Leave Christianity As Adults?

This is a conversation that I’ve had many times and you probably have too. Why do so many of our kids that grew up in church leave Christianity when they become adults?

It is said that many teenagers leave the church when they become adults. This is no doubt shocking and sad.

Well, the bible does foretell us of a great falling away in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 (I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on or not) but if it is, it is alarming to see it happening right before our very eyes.

It makes you wonder (if this is prophecy) if there is nothing we can do about it. Is it just inevitable that so many people will quote-unquote “fall away”?Continue reading

Bible Truths Every Christian Should Know

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
