When it comes to breaking free from bondage, I have found that many people often dread the work that comes with being free...And to be honest, I completely understand! I don't know about you, but just hearing the phrase, "breaking free from bondage" seems strenuous and down-right uncomfortable! This is especially true for many people when it comes to losing weight, or reaching a health or fitness goal.

After years of working with people, and experiencing change in many areas of my own life, I...

The Bible tells us in Romans 12:2 that we should not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but that we should be transformed by the renewing of our minds. When I began to apply the truths of this powerful scripture to my own life, I finally began to see true transformation that turned my life around. I went from living a life that was bound and limited, to one that was free from the restrictions that once held me back.

If you are desiring a transformation in any area of your life, I would...

I believe that one of the greatest areas of struggle that women face in our society today is related to self image, but even more specifically, body image. I believe that one of the greatest roots behind low self esteem stems from the unfulfilled core desire of every woman, which is the need to be loved. This desire for love often goes much deeper as it poses the unending question in so many of us, which is... Am I Worthy of Love?

Whether you have asked yourself this question out loud before,...

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast. Hebrews 6:19

Do You Need Hope?

Have you ever had a time in your life where you were praying about something and you started off in faith, but as time went on with no obvious answer, you eventually started to lose hope?

If this sounds familiar, I will tell you that you are certainly not alone! In fact, if you are believing God for anything at all in your life, you most likely will face a situation like this, (I know I sure...

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. –Colossians 3:13

With today being Good Friday, I had plans to write about the most amazing gift that God ever gave, His Son Jesus.

However, when I went to write this devotional, God placed something different on my heart than the traditional Easter message. As I began to think about Jesus, I couldn't help but think about a common theme of His life and death, which I believe...

For where two or more are gather in my name, there am I with them. -Matthew 18:20

You may be wondering why I chose to write a devotional on marriage on a health and wellness website. Well, I truly believe that every area of our life has the potential to make an impact on our well being, but most definitely the most important relationship in this life, which is marriage. For this reason, I felt the Lord prompting me to share about how God has transformed my own marriage by His grace, and how...

The topic for today’s devotion has been something that has been on my heart for quite some time. I’ve been asking the Lord to put just the right words to this topic so that I approach it with care and sensitivity. My prayer in sharing this is that the Lord will use it to convict us all to seek peace and pursue it, and offer kindness and understanding toward one another every chance we get!

I have become acutely aware of a theme lately, particularly among my women and mom friends. I’ve really...

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see the Lord.” (Matthew 5:8)

Recently when I was spending time with the Lord, I read Matthew 5:8 and it really stood out to me. I began to wonder what it meant to have a pure heart, so I did some digging! When I looked up the word pure, I found that the word means not mixed or altered with any other substance or material; or uncontaminated. So how do we protect our hearts from becoming contaminated by the ways of this world? I believe that this...

The Word of God has plenty to say about eternity! We understand from God’s word that while this life is a gift, we are simply visitors passing through on our way to our final and perfect home with Him. But, how often do we really live that way? It is easy to forget that the Lord looks at the heart and find ourselves being overly focused on our bodies – our weight, our size, our cellulite, I could go on and on!

It’s especially hard because the world is obsessed with the body! Just walk through...

I wrote this book study to help readers dive deeper into the devotions in Devotions for a Healthier You. It is my hope that through this study, the devotionals will become more than words on a page, but rather a life giving study that will bring revelation of each person’s identity and value in Christ.

To use this study, simply go through one session per week (for ten weeks total), pairing it with the daily devotional reading. The daily devotions found in the book are simple and straight to...
