#GivingTuesday is a day to support non-profits and charities. We are asking you to prayerfully consider donating to Choosing Him Ministries this year. We have been extremely blessed this year and we are so grateful for the opportunities we have been given to share God’s love and to partner with women in their calling.…
When I was younger, I enjoyed anything artsy. I loved music, I tinkered around with drawing and I wrote about things that touched me. Just like then, sometimes now, when I am sad God gives me the greatest words. Well, to me they are (wink). I think it is His way of encouraging me. I…
“If I could just get through this situation, then I’d have joy.” “When I get this done, I’ll be at peace.” “When all of this is over, I’ll feel fulfilled.” Ever felt that way? I have, but we don’t have to wait until everything is just right to walk in peace, joy and fulfillment; we…

Change…nobody really likes it. Sure it can be exciting, but the unknown is always that…unknown. It’s scary because we can’t see what is coming, which requires trust. That’s why God allows us to experience it. We aren’t trusting when we can see, when we know the outcome. God has to get us to a place…
When I think of the fall season, I think of pumpkins, leaves, hay rides and mums. I think about getting to wear scarves and sweaters and fuzzy socks. And do not forget this is the time of year when everything smells like pumpkin spice. Have you ever thought about what the purpose of fall is?…
Summer is coming to an end and Autumn is just around the corner and I can already see the changes coming. There was a gentle rain last evening and I awoke to dead leaves scattered on my lawn. Fresh tomatoes so abundantly available in June and July are long gone and their vines are withering…
