Overcoming Trials

Let God Set You Free: My New Online Devotional

Two months ago, 12-year-old Bekah and I took a leap of faith and published our coauthored mother-daughter devotional, Girl to Girl: 60 Devotions for a Closer Relationship and Deeper Faith.  We’d like to thank you for all of your support.  The book is doing better than we ever expected, and my daily prayer is that God uses it to bring mothers and daughters closer together and draws women of all ages deeper into his unconditional love.  Thank you for helping us spread the word, writing Amazon reviews, and buying our book!  I’m amazed by the outpouring of support from the writing community, our hometown, our church community, and the global community of faith-filled moms!  You’re amazing!

In addition to spreading the good news about our mother-daughter devotional, I’ve also been working hard to create new content to help believers of all ages encounter God in deeper ways.  I’m excited to release a new online devotional today!  It’s called Let God Set You Free: A 14-Day Journey for Overcoming Fear, Worry, and Doubt.

An Excerpt from Let God Set You Free

Additionally, here is an excerpt from this life-changing devotional:

When God’s ways don’t make sense in my life, I’ve learned to stop and ask one important question: “What would it look like to steward this assignment and trust God with the outcome?”

Last spring, our beagle was expecting a litter of puppies.  As her belly expanded, our expectations grew as well.  The kids couldn’t wait for a kennel full of cuteness.  We expected the event to fill our home with a much-needed dose of joy.  It’d been a tough season, and we needed some sunshine.

Much to our dismay, something went terribly wrong.  After giving birth to nine puppies, we began losing them quickly.  We reached out for help, but nothing could be done.  The process was devastating.

Within a week, we buried all but one surviving puppy.

It felt like more than we could bear.  More than anything, my heart was broken for the pain our children experienced as we endured the grief together—one puppy at a time—eight times.

When the stressful cloud of crisis mode finally began to lift, I asked God what he wanted me to know about our terrible experience.

A quiet thought settled upon me: “These gifts are yours to steward, but they’re not yours to control.”

God gives us each gifts and responsibilities in life.  He gives us careers, kids, spouses, ministries, houses, dreams, and even pets.  He then asks us to be good stewards.  We are called to do the best we can to steward the gifts.  The outcomes are in God’s hands.

Have you been trying to control outcomes in your life?

Ask God to show you where he is inviting you to release your desire to control outcomes.  He will show you how to shift to an attitude of stewardship instead.

I’m passionate about equipping others to encounter God in powerful and life-changing ways. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me hiking, jogging, exploring wild places with my three young children and husband, leading small groups, and mentoring younger women. A certified special education teacher, I am on leave from the classroom for a season of chasing frogs and playing in creeks with my little ones. Most of all, the compassionate love of Jesus has forever ravished my heart, and I'm emphatic about making his love known to the world.
