Press In
The word “prayer” tends to evoke images of demure bowed heads in a silent cathedral except for the low reverent hum of an organ thrumming out “Amazing Grace” in the background. I think that’s why so many people find it a hard concept to grasp. “How do I talk to God?” Sometimes, in church circles,…

Are you a woman of prayer? This may seem like a loaded question, but this is something I’ve been asking myself lately. I used to keep a prayer journal with me and write in it every night before bed. I would pour my heart, soul and sometimes tears into those pages. After writing out my…

A Father’s Love
Do you think it’s true that most women end up marrying men that share their father’s traits? Well, in my case I believe it. Both my father and husband are funny, always going back and forth with the “dad jokes”. They are both loving and affectionate. I’ve seen my father give a hug and kiss…

Are You My Mother?
There is an old Dr. Seuss book where a little bird is wandering around asking every different type of animal (most of which are not birds) if they are his mother. As a child, I thought how silly and funny it was that he was asking dogs and elephants if they were his mother when…

In South Texas, As It Is In Heaven
I love this year’s national women’s ministries department theme, As it is in Heaven. I think every Christ follower I know longs for Heaven for many reasons, chief among them, to see and worship our King. Along with seeing Jesus face to face, we will also be free from this world and all that it…

Worship As They Do In Heaven
“May your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 This year the national women’s ministries department has chosen these words as our theme for 2026: As It Is In Heaven. Looking around our world today, it is difficult to imagine this being anything like what we have…

Drawing from the Well: Sharing Kindness with Others
February is known as the month of love. We celebrate Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s with our gal pals. There’s even a day to show love to our pets. Not only that but February is American Heart month. Do you see where I’m going with this? But perhaps you didn’t know there’s another national day in…

Joy Beyond Understanding
“ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 Summertime in the South is not for the faint of heart. Temperatures that soar to unbearable heights, iced tea that can’t seem to stay iced, and leather car interior that is torture whenever you get in…

Peace in a Wild Workplace
I do not work in a church. I am involved in ministry full-time, but I also work a secular job to provide for my family. I don’t care where you work, whether it be in a church or out; if you work with people, it can be difficult. Feeling called to ministry, I have asked…
