My arms feel heavy as I reach over to turn off my alarm. In the past, I would never be up before the sun, but I cultivated a simple devotional time with the Lord in the mornings before the chaos of my day began. Daily I need steady assurance and peace from spending time with our God.

Stop complicating your morning routine! I get it, if you’re like me and you’re constantly on Pinterest searching for the ‘easiest way to’, or ‘10 ways to learn how to,’ or ‘6 simple ways to,’ then I think we just became BFFs!

I have searched high and low on the best morning routine. No matter what you do, how early you get up, how much water you drink or exercises you fit in before sunrise…if it does not start with the Lord then you are underestimating the power that He has to fuel your day.

More often than not, the church shies away from the tough topic of mental health disorders. Perhaps, many church leaders find themselves ill-equipped to deal with such issues as anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, and OCD. Either way, these issues are very real and the church cannot remain indifferent to them.

Have you ever wondered if what you are doing is coming from God? Well, here’s my simple truth for you…if it’s pulling you away from God it’s NOT from God! Ask yourself the following questions: Are you too busy to pray? Do you only go to church when you wake up in time…

I wanted to be like her. Her being the woman who had confidence in who she was, and when she spoke, all I could hear were her unspoken words, "I am free from my insecurities."
