I have a tendency to make mountains out of molehil I have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills. When I'm confronted with hardship. My mind immediately wants to go through every possible scenario. What if this? What if that? And my peace is gone. I think peace is one of those words that seems arbitrary or hard to define. We think of it as tranquility or getting along. We declare all "I want is world peace." But the peace spoken of in scripture is so much more than that.

I've struggled for years with the sovereignty of G I've struggled for years with the sovereignty of God. I believe God is over all and in all and in control of all, yet I also believe He gives us free will. I once heard a pastor explain these two apparently contradictory theologies as being the twin towers of Scripture. They're both there. From that solid yet confusing explanation, I take this truth: There are going to be some things I will never understand fully this side of heaven. That's why it's called faith.

A way you can help! An entire mobile home park wa A way you can help! An entire mobile home park was wiped out by the flooding over the weekend in my hometown. Several families, many of whom had no insurance to cover the damages, lost everything. A friend of mine from church started a go fund me account to help cover some of their expenses. We’re trying to raise $5000 for them, and I’m just wondering if we could take care of that as a #millionprayingmoms community? If you can help, please go to the link in my stories. I’ll keep it there until til the goal is met. Let’s do this together! 💚Brooke
Sometimes the route God gives us seems debilitatin Sometimes the route God gives us seems debilitating, laborious, or so full of detours we find ourselves circling in despair. Other times we push through the piles of information offered us with dogged determination. We just want to feel like we are moving forward. I wanted to find scientific answers to a medical diagnosis, God wanted me to find Him. Tune in to today’s podcast episode by @ericawiggenhorn called A Prayer for the Mom Who Feels Helpless.

Keep praying for the people of Appalachia who are Keep praying for the people of Appalachia who are devastated by floods. We are resilient, and we are good neighbors, and we will get through this because of it, and because of the mercies of God. I love all that is good about this unique and special area, and there’s no time when it’s on greater display than in times of need. The song I chose for this is by our friends, @officialchosenroad. My son and I love to sing it together, harmonizing as we go. I love it because it reminds me that the only way the burdens of our heart ever truly roll away is at the cross. Praise God for the Light it shines. I’ll keep sharing legitimate, good ways to give. Watch my stories in the coming days. 💚Brooke
Southwest Virginia needs your help. 1. Pray 2. Gi Southwest Virginia needs your help. 1. Pray 2. Give In this video, I’m sharing an update on my small town in Giles County, VA since we were hit by major flooding from Hurricane Helene over the weekend, and asking for your support. I’ve shared two legitimate ways you can give directly to the current devastating needs in stories, and want to add that if you want to give directly to a church that is responding in the area, you can give to mine. If that’s your desire, PM me and I’ll send you specific instructions. I’ll keep updating on the needs. Thank you for showing up for those in need! 💚Brooke
Most of us long for reassurance that we're enough Most of us long for reassurance that we're enough and we are willing to do just about anything to erase the feeling that we're not. But what if all those assurances of our "not enoughness" are wrong? What if instead of trying to eliminate or overcome the idea that we're not enough, we embraced it? What if instead of convincing ourselves that we've got what it takes, we entertained the notion that God quite possibly made us to need Him, not just for a few minutes, not just for our salvation, but for every minute of every day.

GOOD NEWS! The water is receding! ***** My littl GOOD NEWS! The water is receding! ***** My little town in Virginia was built along the New River. If you aren’t familiar with the New, it’s one of only a few rivers in the world, including the Nile, that runs north. It’s also one of the oldest rivers in the world. Yesterday, thanks to Hurricane Helene, the New River, whose large offshoot, Wolf Creek, also runs through our town…began to flood. This happens almost yearly, & for the most part, the people here are tough & resilient & know how to handle it. But this is the worst flood we’ve seen since the 40s. Not even Hurricane Hugo, which also hit us hard, tops the flood damage. The pictures you see here include our one mom and pop restaurant that has served our community for generations, the bridge that allows us to cross the river (completely shut down) and our beautiful campground right on the river, now mostly washed away. So much loss in these pictures, and so much more I don’t have pictures to represent. So many people are devastated, without power, or a way to get out, and the jury is out on whether the river has crested. The weathermen are saying maybe it has. The people who have lived here for 80+ years, and know the river well, are saying it hasn’t. I love that they can read the river, but my heart is broken over the substantial loss. Would you pray for us? I will keep you posted on relief efforts. We haven’t been hit as hard as Asheville, or some other areas, but we’re devastated nonetheless. 💔 Brooke 📸 Credit: Paul Broussard P.S. My home and family are fine. We are currently picking up fallen branches and limbs, but there is no damage to our property. Our college guy had to evacuate his living space at school, not because of water, but because of the wind and trees. He’s home safely with us right now, and we have power, so we’re extremely grateful. Also, I’m so grateful for each of your prayers, and for letting us know you’re praying! If you typed the word “prayer,” or “praying,” below you might’ve received an auto response in your DMs. Please ignore it. It’s supposed to do that, and there’s not a great way for me to turn it off right now. So sorry for the inconvenience!
Even though God hates cheating, he loves cheaters. Even though God hates cheating, he loves cheaters. No, he doesn't love what they do, but he does love them and knows they can be saved. So when Zacchaeus climbed a tree, just to get a peek at Jesus, Jesus didn't waggle his finger or give this shrimpy cheater a much-needed lecture. Instead, Jesus invited himself over for a visit.

One of the main reasons I love to pray the word of One of the main reasons I love to pray the word of God and encourage and teach others to do the same, is because I believe God will always be true to it. There may not be many specific instructions for parents in the Bible, but there are plenty of promises to God's children. My main takeaway in the almost 20 years I've been praying God's word is that I can have faith in God's powerful promise without having to understand its purpose or his timetable in fulfilling it.

Every test I took from this smart little book pret Every test I took from this smart little book pretty much said the exact same thing: Feelings of shame dominate your life. The fear of punishment dominates your life. The fear of rejection dominates your life. What I remember from this mentoring moment with someone I greatly respected was that for the first time in my own life, my cover was blown. I was afraid of failing. I was highly motivated by what others thought of me, and I had a hard time saying no when asked to do anything for anyone. I wanted people to like me.

I wanted everyone to believe I could juggle work, I wanted everyone to believe I could juggle work, kids, husband, home, and church with ease. But I couldn't. I wanted everyone to believe that crying babies, nursing problems, shift work, and the terrible twos weren't too much for me all at once. But they were. And what I wanted everyone to believe, that I was a confident, capable, smart, fully independent woman, was keeping me from admitting the truth. I really didn't have what it took.

I got engaged and my future husband's job forced h I got engaged and my future husband's job forced him to move to a remote part of Virginia near the Richmond area. I went with his parents to visit one weekend and to help him find a place for him to live and I was floored at what I saw. In a matter of minutes, it was clear to me that I did not want to live there after our wedding. But as my mama told me on the phone, "Brooke, if you want to marry that boy, that's where you're going to have to go."

Have you ever been hurt, betrayed, or slandered by Have you ever been hurt, betrayed, or slandered by someone within the church? Someone who is a brother or sister in Christ? I truly believe that this kind of hurt or betrayal is the hardest of all to process because, while we don't expect non-believers to act in a godly fashion, we do expect it from fellow Christians.

I was maybe five or six years old when I said "the I was maybe five or six years old when I said "the prayer." My memory isn't perfect, but I remember sitting on my daddy's knee at our dining room table and praying to receive Jesus as my savior. And with that decision, the whole trajectory of my life was changed. No, I didn't fully understand the weight of my words. I would spend the next several decades learning what it means to put my faith in Jesus, and truthfully, I'm still learning. But I was set on a course that day.

As a new mom, I was afraid to go anywhere during t As a new mom, I was afraid to go anywhere during the first year of my son's life. I was nervous Will would cry or get sick, so it seemed safer to just stay home. A woman invited me to join her later that week at a MOPS, which is Mothers of Preschoolers gathering. I accepted her invitation and while I was at the MOPS meeting, another woman invited me to attend a local church. I accepted her invitation as well and while at church, another woman invited me to join her for a Women's Bible study. This led to my family joining the church, my children being baptized, and my being asked to lead a Bible study. This in turn led to my love for Bible studies like the one you are listening to right now. Amazingly, I am where I am today because of the power of a simple invitation. Jesus knew the power of personal invitations too and often extended them. Today's devotion and prayer is taken from A Little Goes a Long Way: 52 Days to a Significant Life, by @rachaeladamsauthor.

In our home, Numbers 6:24-26 is known as the "spec In our home, Numbers 6:24-26 is known as the "special prayer." It's been the passage I pray over our children every night before they go to sleep. I think part of the reason I like to pray this passage so much and possibly why I choose to pray scripture most of the time is because I'm so keenly aware of my lack. I know better than anyone how short I fall as a mom, wife, and child of God. If I made a list of all my weaknesses, I'd never get done. And I'm aware that this lack in me directly affects my children.

Sometimes our faith is like a flickering flame. Yo Sometimes our faith is like a flickering flame. You might have experienced some really hard things in your life. You might be dealing with chronic illness or anxiety, or maybe you're having trouble making friends. Maybe you feel like you're making mistakes everywhere you turn, like you can't speak kindness or truth or you keep blowing up at your family. When life is hard, it can be hard to have faith in Jesus. But guess what? Jesus is gentle with us.

Losing control of our emotions at its heart is abo Losing control of our emotions at its heart is about a lack of power. Before I had children, I didn't realize I had a problem controlling my emotions. I knew I liked being in control, but my situations pre-children never caused me to lose control of myself. I look back now with the perspective of almost 20 years and I can see hints here and there, but I really didn't know I had something sinister lurking in my heart until the right set of circumstances made it spill out.
