Doses of Encouragement

Psalm 33

In this hymn of praise, I am struck by the contrast of the words “new” and “steadfast”. According to Merriam-Webster online, the word “new” has seven definitions, with three clarifying entries. In contrast, the word “steadfast” has two: 1) firmly fixed in place not subject to change, and 2) a firm belief, determination, or adherence.

Psalm 33 plays on some interesting juxtapositions between man and God. Let’s take a look…

Man: Made new through salvation AND continually made new through sanctification.

God: Makes all things new through the steadfast, once-for-all substitutionary sacrifice of the Son AND the real-time power in action of the Holy Spirit.

Man: Receives new mercies.

God: Gives steadfast grace.

Man: Questioning with an unquenchable thirst for answers.

God: Gives counsel that stands forever.

Man: Hoping for help; prone to mistrust; planning our own way.

God: our help and hope; the maker of all that stands firm; deliverer from eternal death; giving the plans of his heart to all generations.

So through it all, let man sing a new song to the Lord for God’s steadfast love is upon us as we hope in him!!

Author, Speaker, Leadership Mentor

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, wife, mother, and grandmother with a heart for women to know God intimately, love Him deeply and serve Him on purpose. With Proverbs 20:5 as my life mission, I encourage generations of women to acknowledge and fulfill their anointing.

Passion and Purpose

I have a deep desire to draw the hearts of women to the heart of God by promoting Biblical literacy and disciple-making. Though the road has had more than a few bumps and detours, I have learned to navigate leadership with humility. With a gift for conference speaking, mentoring, and consulting; my purpose is in challenging women to discover, acknowledge and live-out their purpose with intentionality. One of my biggest strengths lies in the ability to “keep things real” – I bring simplicity to the complex and joy in the mundane.

Blessings in Disguise

Have you ever had a blessing in disguise? Our biggest blessings often come disguised in hard times, difficult circumstances, broken relationships, or shattered dreams, but the Bible promises us that He will turn all things good for those who love the Lord. This is the hope believers cling to when the storm is so treacherous that we can’t see the next step. These stories will bring you hope and encourage you to look for your own blessings in disguise.
