Is it possible for a woman to have it all? While this may seem like a modern day question it, in fact, dates back to the beginning of time. Let’s take a look at this subject from a Biblical perspective.

It is Thanksgiving week ladies! I don’t know about you, but I am excited and stressed at the same time. I love having the kids (especially the grandkids) around, but there is so much to do – cleaning, shopping, preparing food, and decorating for Christmas.

I am ashamed of myself because my focus should be on being thankful. What is the expression “too blessed to be stressed?” That is me, except I allow myself to get stressed!

I know this might be a little hokey, but this week’s blog post lists some different ways to be thankful over the next twelve months. Start in December and finish up next Thanksgiving. Resolve to make 2018 a year of gratitude.

Do you think you’re too flawed for Jesus? Do you allow your flaws to keep you from the joys of knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? Do you believe God accepts you as you are?

As I was studying the women of the Bible, I made a discovery: God not only accepts our flaws but also uses our tainted lives to further His kingdom.

This week, let’s look at four women who literally became a part of Jesus’ family, despite shady shenanigans, an immoral life, pagan beliefs, and an adulterous relationship. Read on to learn a little about each of these women. At the end, find out what they all have in common.

I am writing a book on women of the Bible, and as I research their lives, I’m discovering that despite their being chattel with few rights, these women made a difference. Many showed strength of character, courage, and conviction. Their actions, while not always good, changed the world around them, and affected future generations. Some of their life choices are still affecting us today!

People will often say to me that God has spoken to them. They are sure that the path they are taking or the decision they are making is directed by God.

I am going to make a confession that might make some of you gasp: I don’t hear from God that clearly. I am not saying I don’t feel led, but I always question if the leading is a random thought or God speaking. For instance, I feel led to write a book, or do I? Is it what God wants or what I want? How do I know for sure?
