Thoughts Create

In life, we’re often taught to look at external factors to explain why things are the way they are. If something goes wrong, we naturally seek reasons outside of ourselves to make sense of it—our environment, circumstances, or even our relationships. But Scripture and modern psychology reveal an often-overlooked truth: our thoughts and beliefs play a powerful role in shaping our reality, both internally and externally. This concept, the idea that thoughts create, can transform the way we experience life, grounding us in a sense of purpose, hope, and alignment with God’s will.

Am I Enough?

Imagining this beautiful little girl asking the question, “Am I enough?” seems kind of silly. Would it ever occur to you that she was not? Yet, how many times have we silently wondered that about ourselves? It’s not a question that we often voice out loud, but it’s one that lingers in the recesses of our minds. It shows up in our insecurities, in our hesitations, and in the myriad ways we interact with the world around us.

Finding Peace Through Acceptance

Acceptance is a powerful, transformative practice that can lead us to a life of peace, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. I define acceptance as: acknowledging what is without judgment. This does not mean agreeing with or even liking what is happening, but rather fully recognizing and embracing reality without judging it. We can probably all agree that acceptance is simple by definition but challenging in practice.

The Beauty of Sisterhood

In a world that often values individual achievement and self-reliance, the beauty of sisterhood stands out as a testament to the power of connection and mutual support. As women, we are often taught to be strong, independent, and self-sufficient, but there is such strength and beauty in embracing our vulnerabilities, supporting one another, and forming deep, authentic connections.

The Power of Prayer Partnership

As we pursue our own goals and dreams, the journey can often feel lonely and overwhelming. If I’m doing God’s work, shouldn’t it always be easy and fun? Of course, that’s what I want, but I realize that is naïve. Sometimes it is easy and fun, and often it is very challenging. Why? Because God is always growing me into the women who can steward the dreams He has placed in my heart. That means I am constantly changing, and change is hard.

 

What Does it Mean to Co-Create With God?

I love the elegance of the Tango, the precision of the movements, the way the lead seems to effortlessly guide the follow into stunningly complex, striking moves that absolutely captivate the audience. She rarely diverts her eyes from his, as if she instinctively knows that her every move depends on that connection. It allows her to flourish, to joyfully express her creativity and talent in ways she could never achieve on her own. He is her home base. Without his lead, she does not move. With it, she dances in ways she never thought possible.

Relationship with Self

In the hustle and bustle of life, many Christian women find themselves yearning for a deeper connection with themselves and with God. Are you one of these women? The journey of personal and spiritual growth and development can be both invigorating and challenging, especially when we feel stuck in the routines of daily life and when we try to change because we just want more out of life.
