“Choices are the hinges of destiny.” – Edwin Markham As women of faith—mothers, mentors, grandmothers, and spiritual sisters—we carry a beautiful responsibility: shaping the hearts of the next generation. One of the greatest gifts we can offer the young women in our lives is guidance in making wise, God-honoring decisions. Whether you are parenting a teen daughter, discipling a college student, or investing in a young woman at church, here are four devotional anchors to help her make wise decisions. Wisely Obey God’s Word “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it…
Maybe next year will be different, I thought as one difficult season came to a close. Maybe next year I wouldn’t have to fight so hard or struggle so much. Maybe next year I wouldn’t be so sick and could spend more time with my family. Maybe next year I…
Last month, while shopping, I saw a shirt I just had to have. It read, “Motherhood is my ministry.” So often, as mothers, we can feel overlooked and unimportant in the church because we are not always able to help in visible ways. But when we begin to view motherhood…

“And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.” Genesis 3:8.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 At my age, every day is a blessing from the Lord. I thank Him for the health and strength that He has given me. I thank Him for the confidence that I have that He is with me every day and my future is in His hands. I thank Him for the avenue He has given me to share my thoughts on this site. I thank Him for each one of…
“And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.” Isaiah 65:10 Several years ago, I was privileged to attend the General Conference in Toronto. After the night service, our group would travel on the Subway from the Conference Centre to our Hotel. One night, the subway car door closed after the rest got out, leaving me alone. Having ridden on the subway before, I knew enough to get off at the next station, cross over, and take the next train…
