How to Create a War Room Prayer Space in Your Home
Life gets busy. Between schedules, responsibilities, and the noise of everyday life, it can feel like there’s never a quiet moment to simply sit with God. But when we create intentional space to pray, reflect, and seek Him, everything changes. This past weekend I went on a Women’s Retreat with my church. I was reminded that I needed to make space to sit with God. If you’ve ever watched the movie War Room, you’ve seen the power of having a dedicated place for prayer—a space where you can lay everything before the Lord without distractions. The good news? You don’t need a big house or an empty room to…

Creating a Prayer Journal That Works for You (Without Over-complicating It!)
One of my goals this year was to start a prayer journal. If you’ve been following along, you might remember my post Battling Distractions: My Search for the Perfect Prayer Journal, where I shared my struggle in figuring out the best way to begin. Today, I want to walk you through the steps I took to set up my prayer journal—using what I already had on hand rather than buying a bunch of new supplies. Gather Materials I started by looking for a notebook and found one with three dividers. However, you can use whatever works best for you—a three-ring binder, a regular notebook, or even a folder with three-hole…

Battling Distractions: My Search for the Perfect Prayer Journal
One of my goals for this year was to start—and stick with—a prayer journal. But as soon as I set this goal, I ran into a problem. My quiet time with God has always been inconsistent. I know this. I try to fix it, but no matter what, I fall back into old habits. I do best when I’m in a Bible study with my women’s group at church or with friends. Why is that? I think it’s because I feel accountable—I “need” to get it done. I don’t want to fall behind! I learn a lot during those studies, but when they end, I struggle to continue on my…

2024 Scripture Reflections: Verses That Spoke to My Soul
I wanted to look back on all my favorite scriptures from the past year. These scriptures touched my heart for a reason during this time and I wanted to share them. I started by looking at my bible app to see what verses I highlighted. They could have been from the sermon at church, a bible study I was doing, the verse of the day in the bible app. If the verse touched me somehow, I highlighted in the app. I also went back through my notebooks that I write in and my bible study books for the year to what scriptures stood out to me. Here are my favorite…

Quiet Time
As I site here on this beautiful Sunday morning sipping my sweet tea, I can’t help but think I’ve been very busy lately and my time I spend with God has dwindled. Not that I do it on purpose, but I have not got my routine back in place. During the summer I did a bible study and that really helped keep me in His word. Once the bible study was over, I did bible study plans in my bible app. As school started, both kids in soccer and business picked up, life became hectic and my routine has changed. I try to catch the verse of the day in…
