Affirmation
I’m saddened by the recent deaths of Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain and a host of precious, but less famous, souls who took their own lives. Their reasons lie in silence or perhaps in the last words in a note left to their loved ones. But I do know their struggle....

Providing Bible-based content for you to #liveyourjoystory because so many other of life’s stories can deplete our joy. #joytothesoul

Ladies, the times we live in can challenge the hea Ladies, the times we live in can challenge the heart. 

In our homes and in our workplaces, with our family and our friends, with our sense of purpose and our passions...we're constantly making choices. Sometimes we choose to do nothing at all.

But as we consider the best choices we can make, it helps to know God's priorities for our lives. 

It's something to think about. But even more so, I believe it's something to pray about.

It's the reason I'm excited to gather with other women of faith. It happens on #internationalwomensday weekend at a prayer breakfast filled with worship, personal reflection, and community connection.

I continue to learn that it's not just time for us to see things differently. It's time for us to see things clearly -- God's Call, God's Way.

Join me on Saturday, March 7th at @thepaulineteabar in Charlotte NC! There's a seat with your name on it, in a space where you can be encouraged and be empowered to take your next step of faith.

Are you facing a new situation? Isaiah 42:16 spe Are you facing a new situation? 

Isaiah 42:16 speaks hope into seasons of uncertainty. God promises to guide His people along roads they have never traveled, bringing light into dark places and smoothing what feels impossible. When the path ahead seems unclear, this verse reminds us we are not navigating alone.

Join me this week on the Your Daily Bible Verse Podcast, as I share some encouragement when we’re facing a new situation! (Link in profile) #yourdailybibleverse
