Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Corinthians 12:24-26 which says "while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." "We, here on earth are all connected. We are all brothers and...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Ecclesiastes 3:11 which says "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." "It means we must trust that His timing is perfect timing. If your future spouse hasn't walked into your life yet, it's because it's not the right time. If you and your husband/wife are trying to have a baby and it hasn't happened yet, it's because it's not the right time. Go...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Chronicles 16:11 which says "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always." "Sometimes life can be blurry. Maybe just maybe you are in a season in life in which you need clarity. I have been there more times than I like to admit. At least once a month and I tell myself “what am I doing for the rest of my life” the answer is clear when I pray. I want to live a life after God's own heart. Share his love and his teaching with the people arou...

He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him." "Our stories hold power. Some of us have grown up as Christians in church our whole lives. Some of us have strayed away and something brought us back. Others of us, had no understanding of Jesus until we were in our mid to late twenties - or even mid to late sixties. No person, no s...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Corinthians 15:33 which says "Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” "You have a good character.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Peter 3:14 which says "But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened." "Like indulging and over eating, or being greedy with your money. Maybe it's the temptation of gossip when ever it presents itself, or even the will to be lazy at all given moments. Believe it or not, these are all forms of temptation, designed to move you further away from the life you were intended to read. ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Proverbs 28:25 which says "The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the LORD will prosper." "It's human nature to lean towards the flesh. We can become greedy when we are looking to advance in our careers and finances. We can become greedy with our God-given gifts. We can become greedy with our skills. When we take the control out of Gods hands and we place it in ours, conflict will arise. We should be willing to help others. Don't hold on...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read over Matthew 6:25-26 which says "25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" "...Look at the birds. They do not sow or reap, yet God feeds them. Meaning they...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Peter 4:8 which says "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." "So look to each other for guidance.

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read Philippians 4:13 which says "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." "Rest is so vital. So why is it so hard for us to take a break? I think some of us have an innate trait that doesn't want help from others, including God. We work three times as hard instead of asking others for help. I think that derives from the fear of failure. How many of u...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Peter 1:3-8. "Our faith is worth more than gold itself. Where gold can melt, our faith cannot be shaken.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read James 4:7 which says "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." "To be honest, our society sometimes makes me questions my goals and aspirations. I can fall into this harmful way of thinking. We are breeding a generation that relies on comparison to get us through the day. “I have to lose weight, look at how much that person lost in quarantine" or “I have to work harder, look at that super successful new business she laun...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Ephesians 2:8 which says "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" "Take time this weekend to get alone with Him.

Remember la...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Nehemiah 9:6. "I love how this verse says “You alone are the Lord". This verse talks about how God made the heavens, the starts, the earth, and the seas.
