Faithful stewardship encompasses the thoughtful management of all that God has graciously placed in our care—not merely our finances, but also our influence, precious time, and the myriad of opportunities that come our way. For many, particularly women who juggle the demands of family, work, and ministry, financial matters often become a source of anxiety and concern.

Yet, when we commit to managing our resources in alignment with God's wisdom, we unlock a profound sense of peace and liberation. We experience the joy of generosity, knowing that we are walking in harmony with His divine plan for our lives, embracing each gift as a chance to create positive impact and serve others.

"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." — This verse from 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV) emphasizes the importance of faithfulness in stewardship. It reminds us that we are entrusted with resources by God, and we are called to manage them with integrity and diligence.

Are You Living the Purpose God Has Called You To?

Have you ever asked, "Am I truly living out the purpose God has called me to?" As Christian women, we desire to align our lives with God’s will, yet the busyness of life, personal doubts, and unclear direction can often make us feel like we are falling short. Is your life filled with peace and fulfillment, or does it sometimes feel more like an endless to-do list, leaving you spiritually drained?

If you feel disconnected from your purpose or are questioning how to live in alignment with God's plan, you are not alone. Many Christian women wrestle with this same uncertainty. But here's the truth—God has designed each of us with a unique purpose, and the path to that purpose begins with clarity and spiritual alignment.

Why Purpose Matters

As Proverbs 19:21 (KJV) tells us, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand." This scripture reminds us that though we may have many plans and...

As Christian women, we know that our physical health and relationships are two vital areas that deeply impact our overall well-being. The Bible reminds us of the importance of stewarding both our bodies and our relationships, and when we align these areas with God's truth, we thrive.

Your Body is God’s Temple

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) tells us: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
This verse is a beautiful reminder that we must honor God by caring for the bodies He has entrusted to us. When we prioritize our health, we are not only better equipped to serve the Lord, but we also have the energy and vitality to nurture the relationships in our lives.

Taking care of our health is a form of worship. Eating nutritious foods, exercising, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can be act...

Withdrawing to Pray Like Jesus

In our world of constant noise, schedules, and demands, Christian women often struggle to find quiet moments with God.

We long for deeper connection, yet we feel pulled in too many directions — family, work, ministry, friendships, obligations.

But then we look at Jesus.

“And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.” — Luke 5:16 (KJV)

If Jesus, the Son of God, needed to regularly withdraw and pray,
how much more do we?

💔 The Lie: “I am too busy to spend time with God.”

This is a lie many women believe without realizing it.

It sounds like:

• “I will pray when life settles down.”

• “God understands how busy I am.”

• “I need to get everything else done first.”

But here’s the truth:

Truth Declaration:
“Time with God is not extra — it is essential. My soul is nourished in His presence, and my life is strengthened by His Spirit.”

 

🌿 Why Did Jesus Withdraw?

People, needs, and opportunities surrounded Jesus.
But He...

Special seasons during the year provide me with a feeling of gratitude. At those moments, I take time to reflect on my blessings. Most of my blessings are a result of the support I get from loved ones.

My connection with my family and friends deepens during special times each year. When I am prompted to reflect on the good times in my life, I immediately reach out to them. Family gatherings, gift-giving, singing Christmas carols, and special meals are also inseparable parts of Christmas. 

I use each opportunity I get to tell my family how important they are. It is easy for me to pinpoint their influence in my life.

When I am at odds with a friend, special seasons allow us to rekindle our relationship. I use those times to consider the role we play in each other's lives. I acknowledge that a season of caring and love is the best time to offer and receive forgiveness.

Houses aglow, parties with friends, and memories made with family—Christmas truly is the most wonderful t...

Career Confidence & God-Ordained Influence

Whether you work in ministry, the marketplace, education, healthcare, media, or at home — your career is not a coincidence. It is a mission field. God has placed you where you are for such a time as this.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;" — Colossians 3:23

When you show up at your job, your business, or your home office, do so with Kingdom confidence. The enemy often attacks women with lies like:

• “You’re not qualified.”
• “You’re just faking it.”
• “You should have it all figured out by now.”

These are the voices of imposter syndrome. The truth? You are called, equipped, and positioned by God Himself.

Building Career Confidence:

Discover your strengths. Utilize tools such as the DISC personality assessment and the Equipping Profile, which are designed to help you gain deeper insights into how God has uniquely equipped you for leadership. These assessments can reveal your natural ten...

The Christmas holiday season is supposed to be a wonderful time for you and your family. But, sometimes, the stresses leading up to the holidays make it seem like quite the opposite. Remember that there are ways to enjoy yourself and survive the holiday crunch even in poor economic times.

Saving Money

Chances are you will be spending money during this holiday season. Through careful planning, you can make a small budget go quite a long way.

Consider the following holiday money-saving suggestions:

1. Conserve Throughout the Year. Most women let the holidays creep up on them. Suddenly, they realize it is only weeks before the holidays, and they need to start preparing. You cannot pull money out of nowhere, and you should resist the urge to put all of your purchases on credit. If you have done this in the past, you know first hand that you may still be paying for last year's gift charges for years!

* Try automatically withdrawing a small sum of money from every paycheck that g...

Tiffany Marie Olson was a beautiful young lady from Manatee County. She enjoyed the ocean. And, like all of us at Farmhouse Animal and Nature Sanctuary, Tiffany also loved all animals. She cherished her dog Simba. Simba had been found injured on the side of the road as a puppy and had surgery to mend injuries to her hindquarters. Tiffany adopted and rehabilitated her. Tiffany was also very close to her mother Christine. They enjoyed taking day trips together.
 

Pray Without Ceasing

What 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Teaches Christian Women About a Life of Prayer

Have you ever wondered what Paul meant when he wrote:

“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)

At first glance, it can feel overwhelming.
How can I possibly pray all the time?
Do I need to quit my job, leave my family, and live in a prayer closet?

Thankfully, God’s heart for us is not religious striving, but continual communion — a relationship that shapes every moment, not just the “holy” ones.

💔 The Lie: “Prayer is only for spiritual moments.”

Many Christian women fall into the trap of believing:

• Prayer only “counts” if it is long and formal.

• God only wants to hear from them when they are at church or doing devotions.

• They are too distracted or busy to pray.

But here’s the truth:

Truth Declaration:
“God invites me into ongoing conversation. My everyday life can become a prayer when I stay connected to Him in love.”

 

🌿 What Does It Mean to...

Staying joyful is vital to me. Busy holidays can add to stress, but stress leaves me like water off a duck's back. My life is overflowing with positivity and happiness. I remain joyful no matter what the holiday brings me. Each holiday is a distinctive occasion to do something that brings me more joy.

As holidays near, I find ways to stay calm. I let my peace radiate out to others. They see the peace I have, and they feel better about their holidays. I help a lot of people just by staying happy and positive during stressful holiday times. I know the holidays are what I make of them. I choose to make them joyful and fun.

I turn the stress of my life into positivity by concentrating on solutions. Holidays are wonderful times to appreciate family and friends. I take pleasure in finding the beauty of the holidays. I see that beauty and concentrate on it to help keep my stress levels down. Low stress equals high joy.

I live in joy this holiday season by walking in peace and love...
