Love is the word that's everywhere at Christmas, wrapped in songs and shiny cards, but too often it feels like a hollow echo. What if this love isn't just a sweet feeling or a seasonal mood? What if real love is the boldest, most demanding choice you make—one that shakes your world and changes everything? Get ready to feel that kind of love, the kind that moves, sacrifices, and breaks every boundary in its pat...
The holidays can be a spinning mess. One moment, you're sipping hot cocoa, planning festive fun, and feeling optimistic that everything will go smoothly. Next, you're in the middle of a heated argument, wondering how two people who share the same space can feel so disconnected. It's this familiar trap amidst the chaos of Christmas where it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. For couples, remembering th...
With the complexities of the holidays, families are caught in the whirlwind of the kids bursting with excitement, the house in a constant uproar, and the clock that keeps ticking down. It's the Christmas countdown! So don't lose sight of the heart of the season.
Now, if we do, the heart of the season will get shoved aside because you're too busy.
Desire to be supported and encouraged by othe...
The holidays have a way of whipping us into a frenzy. Heartbeat racing, lists in hand, and Google tabs open on every store from here to the North Pole, chasing that ONE perfect gift. The one that will say, "You matter," "I love you," and "This year will be the best ever." Only to find it's backordered, out of stock, or mysteriously vanished from every website. Oh, sugar cookies—presence over presents!
We ...
The holidays don't just exhaust your body—they can wreck your mind if you don't fight back. Between rushed shopping, noisy family gatherings, and relentless pressure, stress hits an all-time high. Peace isn't something someone else can give you. You have to claim it on purpose. Time to create mental peace in the holiday chaos.
Waiting for calm to "show up" or hoping a perfect season will magically fix you...
December screams at us with a million demands—end-of-year wrap-ups, gift lists that stretch forever, parties, commitments, and the constant pressure to "do it all." The noise is deafening. It's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. But life isn't about doing all the things—it's about doing what's worth doing; hope in the hustle.
At some point, you have to step back and be okay with simply feeling the ...
When you think about the holidays, it's usually the thoughts that strangle the hope of the season. At some point, you have to figure out how to cut through the noise, silence the chaos, and turn up the volume of "I can." But you know that takes commitment. Trim your thoughts, not the tree.
Here's the thing: It's not the physical decorations or the packed schedules weighing you down.
Life is complex—messy, complicated, and often frustrating. The waiting seasons, setbacks, and unanswered questions can drain your energy and spirit. No wonder you're exhausted. So when the Bible tells us to "Rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4), it sounds almost impossible. However, you can choose joy, a deep-rooted confidence.
Joy isn't about your circumstances lining up perfectly. It's a deep-r...
The holidays are filled with traditions, yet the usual routines can sometimes leave your marriage feeling stale and falling flat amid the seasonal frenzy. So, if you want to spark fresh romance rather than fade into the background of the hustle and bustle, it's time to upgrade your holidays and break the 'too busy' cycle in your marriage.
The holiday season isn't just busy — it's a full, constant sprint, ...
By the time mid-December rolls around, the holiday buzz is at full volume. You've got the lights, treats, to-do lists that never end, and kids bouncing off the wall with excitement, and sometimes overwhelm takes the helm. It's easy to get swept up in the noise and lose sight of what really matters. So why not prepare hearts and traditions for your family that count?
That's why traditions matter. Not the P...
The holiday hustle and bustle can speed up your reaction time, causing you to scroll past what really matters. By the time the weekend's nearly here, it feels like just another to-do list stretching in front of you. Between shopping, errands, and trying to squeeze in a moment for yourself, you must find the sacred in the simple moments.
Don't let the rush of the season wear down the real reason.
By now, the holiday frenzy is in full swing. Parties, shopping, work deadlines, coordinating shipping of packages, and family obligations can drain your energy faster than you realize. But here's something to really think about: Staying healthy doesn't mean sacrificing the joy of the holidays. It means building simple habits to beat the holiday burnout.
And when it comes to your mind, body, and spirit, you can thrive this ...
Sometimes life drags you through the mud and hands you a to-do list that looks impossible. The holidays, for example, can drain even the toughest among us. The endless planning, the mounting pressure to be "perfect," and the burnout that follows can leave you feeling wiped out and questioning if you even have what it takes to finish strong. And that's what you do; do what must be done.
No excuses.
With the cold chill in the air, it's no wonder that all you want to do is stay put and not do anything. Who wants to spend the holidays as if they are playing football in the snow? Yet, at some point, all the things need to get done by you or the holidays will feel incomplete. But the weather can't be the excuse. You must figure out how to gain more time during the holidays.
No one will hand you extra hou...
Do you hear what I hear: life noisy, chaotic, and full of surprises, throwing you off balance. Pile up the deadlines, conflicts, health scares, and financial headaches. Peace often feels like the biggest luxury we can't afford. But what if peace isn't about escaping chaos, but walking through it; it's Thee peace — God's calm in the chaos.
Isaiah 9:6 cuts to the heart of it:
"For to us a child is born, to ...
Some people believe leftovers are the best. Maybe that's good for food, but for marriage, not so much. When it comes to the "death do us part" vow, your spouse might say otherwise. So why not make your spouse the star this holiday?
Because ultimately, that would melt a ton of disagreements as to what matters overall. Whose spouse wouldn't want to feel like the star?
Between the dinner, dishes, and dogs, how does anyone ever find the time to prepare the family for the true heart of Christmas? Because, like me, I know you are trying to do all the things. But are they the right things? So why not do Christmas differently this year? Create space for Christmas in the chaos.
You don't have to create a Pinterest-perfect Christmas to do that. What matters most is carving ou...
What is it about the weekend looming? The week has worn you down just enough to feel heavy in your bones. The kind of tired that seeps past the surface, whispering, "Just rest. Skip the weekend plans. Stay in bed." Life's been coming and going all week, and here you are—still expected to show up.
I want to talk about that tiredness. Not to shame it or fix it with a magic pill, but to find honor in it. Bec...
Why is it that this time of year, the calendar fills up and your energy disappears? December comes in like a whirlwind, dishes pile up, and suddenly you're wondering when you signed up to be the world's busiest elf. Seriously?!? If you're like most people, your own wellness gets pushed way down on the list just because there's too much to do. However, ignoring yourself this time of year is the fastest route to...
The holiday season is notorious for turning you into a checklist machine. You wake up with a mental rundown of what must be done: complete Cyber purchases, groceries, school events, meal prep, work deadlines, holiday gatherings, gift wrapping, and on and on. By the time Tuesday is here, that list is already gnawing at your energy and your spirit. You're already wiped out just thinking about the week ahead. Sound too familiar? W...
