God's Algorithm Prevails
Friend, when we lay anything down at the feet of Jesus, He will take it and multiply it however He sees fit in His time. Maybe we won't see the fruition of our multiplication on this side of heaven, but when we work for the audience of One, He makes sure the one who needs it most gets it.Â

Moments of Hard-Fought Worship
Have you ever fought to worship and acknowledge God is good, even when life didn't feel so good? I know you have—more times than you can probably recall.
You may have sung a couple of verses over a sink of sudsy water after a long day of work. I know you've given thanks for something small and trivial, like a hot cup of coffee, while grieving.

He is a Good, Good Father

Apparently, it is expected, even for Christian women, to wish for a time when things
were easier and looked more like the plans we had for our lives. However, staying in
this mindset for too long is unhealthy and unproductive. We must do the hard work of
adjusting and moving forward as we grieve the passing of a good season while holding on to the hope that the best is yet to come.

Bold Obedience
The only problem with including the Lord in the decision-making process is when He doesn't choose the preplanned decision we already assumed would be the best way. The pesky white-knuckle control issue many of us deal with can rear its ugly head. It also provides the perfect storm for doubt to have a field day in our brains.

Jesus Chose a Woman
