Rest Before the Rush

The Gift of a Sacred Pause Back-to-school season brings with it a sense of urgency. Stores line the aisles with notebooks, backpacks, and lunch boxes. Parents dust off routines. Teachers shift into planning mode. Everyone starts moving faster. But before the first bell rings, there’s an invitation. A sacred pause. A chance to take a […]
Finding God in the Quiet

The back-to-school rush always hits like a wave out of nowhere. When I homeschooled I was overwhelmed with all I had to do to get ready. When my kids went to a school building, I was shocked by the number of forms to fill out, supplies to buy, and activities. It is a month that […]
When You’re Carrying Too Much: The Power of Spiritual Rest

Spiritual Rest Isn’t Laziness—It’s Obedience August often feels like a tug-of-war between summer’s end and the next season’s demands. Back-to-school checklists grow longer.

It moves from freedom to self toward freedom to love others. The truth is, freedom to serve others is one of the clearest signs that […]
Freedom Beneath the Shelter of God’s Wings

By DiAnn Mills Psalm 91:4 (ESV)He will cover you with his pinions,and under his wings you will find refuge;his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. I can’t think of a better place to be than standing in the freedom beneath God’s wings. There we are loved, healed, protected, and eternally treasured. I imagine an eagle […]

No Longer Slaves

The Weight You Don’t Have to Carry Do you know the enemy works? Or how his minions accomplish their goals? It’s through whispers telling you that you’re stuck, damaged, or unworthy. But the gospel says otherwise. Jesus didn’t just forgive sin. He broke its power. Freedom from sin isn’t just a future hope. It’s a […]
When You Know, You’re Free

Truth Is a Person, Not Just a Principle In a world of opinions, half-truths, and blurred lines, clarity is rare. But God offers something the world can’t offer. Truth that doesn’t change.
