The Book of Psalms is the Bible's hymnbook. It will show you what it means to walk with God in prayer and praise. - Billy Graham
Do you desire a rich prayer life but aren't sure how to start? Do you find yourself kneeling before the Lord, reaching for the "right" words to pray? Do you long to feel confident that your prayers line up with the heart and will of God?
If you said yes, prepare to be blessed. The solution to powerfully reaching the very ear of God is within His word. Anyone can...
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word, I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” Psalm 130:5-6
“Why do waiting rooms have to seem so ominous?”
Last week, I thought of that quote sitting in a waiting room feeling anxious and restless expecting a medical diagnosis. Sitting, I noticed that I felt very alone in that room. I felt uncomfortable and chilly, squirming around on the crackly paper-covered bench barely...
Recently, in the Dashing Dish Member's Forum, many of you asked for more support and material to help spiritual growth. Be still my heart! My favorite part of this community is the union we have in Christ. Today, I'm thrilled to share with you some of my favorite bible studies to help you grow in your walk with Jesus.
Let me preface this by saying, you absolutely can't go wrong with anything from Elizabeth George. This study, though, is my favorite.
Jesus is the reason for the season. We've all heard it. We sincerely believe it, and we desperately long to preserve it. But how amid real-life do we keep Christ the center of Christmas? The struggle is real. Today, I'm sharing ideas our family has enjoyed and one bold Christmas ambition I've not yet been brave enough to fulfill.

This tip is for those of you with younger kids. My fondest childhood Christmas memories included anticipation and delight of...
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story! - Psalm 107:1-2
This has been one of the hardest secrets to keep, and I am so excited to finally share the details with you all! Now, let's get into the details I've been so anxiously awaiting to share...
As most of you know, I had a missed-miscarriage, which means the baby stopped growing and didn't have a heartbeat shortly after the 8th week of my pregnancy. I hadn't realized I...
Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives]. Proverbs 21:2
"The Devil won't make you bad. He'll make you busy." That's a saying that's stuck with me for years. Lately, though, it seems there's been a subtle twist put on it. The Liar found a new approach. He won't make you busy, but he'll make you FEEL BAD for BEING busy! There's a growing campaign for purposefully slowing down at Christmas. There are a plethora of...
It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. Before you wave the white flag and abandon healthy routines until after the New Year, consider these simple steps to help keep your healthy habits on track.
Reframe Your Focus
The holiday includes food, yes. But you need not be all-consumed by thoughts of food to enjoy the festivities. Simply reframing how you view food during the holidays goes a long way toward shifting its power into a more appropriate place. Our dominating posture and focus...
“A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’” Isaiah 40:3-5
Do you have that "one" Christmas memory that trumps all other Christmas memories? We do. One year, we...
Ever since I was a little girl, Christmas has always been my favorite time of year! There is something magical about the lights, carols, and being with family and friends; But my favorite thing of all is the celebration of Jesus!
Something I treasure about the holidays is the memories. Every year for as long as I can remember, my mom and my sisters and I have made and decorated dozens of different kinds of cookies and treats, and delivered them to neighbors and people we know. There is...
“Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” 1 John 2:6
We spend an inordinate amount of time and resources investing in our outer appearance. How many products did your face dawn today? No shame in this game. I’ll go first! With this devotional in mind, I counted the number of products and supplements (not to mention tools) I used, all in the name of health and beauty. Somehow, I managed to swallow or slather on more than twenty products – all before 9...
