The Proverbs 31 Superwoman
The Proverbs 31 Superwoman [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Remi Roy — the second in her series of devotionals on people in the Bible! Please do check out the first, Priscilla and the Art of Focus. This one is a bit more general as it focuses on the Proverbs 31 Superwoman. You know her! Read on for Remi’s thoughts.] Have you ever read Proverbs 31 and thought “What is she? Superwoman?” I’m guilty too. When we read about the Proverbs 31 woman (or the Proverbs 31 Superwoman) and compare her life and the things she accomplishes to our own struggles and fumblings, we just might get…

Fully Known & Truly Loved
Fully Known & Truly Loved [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Ana Nunez. When Ana sent this post in, I just felt it had to go up right before Easter! On Easter Sunday, I like to think about nothing else but Christ’s love for us all. Ana’s post sums it up so wonderfully. Thank you, Ana!] “To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known & truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles…

Finding Peace During Loss
Finding Peace During Loss [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Ivy Michelle. It is Maundy Thursday. I had Ivy’s beautiful post on grief and loss scheduled for today before I even realized this. When I did realize it, I thought that it was a perfect fit. When I go to Maundy Thursday services, they are always very solemn and moving and truly make me feel grieved.] It is popular belief that cloudy days make people sad and depressed. People tend to spend more time inside on cloudy, rainy days. While on sunny and bright days, people are more active and spend more time engaging in outdoor activities. It’s amazing…

Anxiety in a Christian Woman’s Life
Anxiety in a Christian Woman’s Life [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Melody Quinn. I really appreciated Melody’s outlook on anxiety in a Christian woman’s life and I hope you do, too. We have a few posts on Devotional Diva on this topic, because it is not uncommon and certainly nothing to be ashamed of! Be encouraged.] I am a Christian woman who has struggled with anxiety all of my life. It has only been in recent years that I have begun to explore my identity outside of this statement. In my search to understand my identity as the Lord created me, I began to look at how anxiety…

Growing Old with A Miraculous God
Growing Old with A Miraculous God [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Bev Vines-Haines. If you are a big “Shark Tank” fan like me, you might already know her! She appeared in season 4, episode 9 with her best friend Charlotte with Ice Chips Candy — but now that I have know Bev’s story, I’m amazed at how she’s created other successful businesses with God! I am so thrilled to have Bev sharing her wisdom on Devotional Diva with us today. Thank you, thank you Bev!] In Psalm 92:14 the Lord promises we will be green and bear fruit in old age. My best friend Charlotte and I have each raised our…

Do Not Worry
Do Not Worry [Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Rachel Myers. I so appreciated how candid she was in telling her story. I loved the style of this post and could relate to it so much — sometimes that worry just takes over! Thank you so much for helping spur other women forward, Rachel!] Matthew 6:25-34 New International Version (NIV) 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or…

How to Serve the People Around You
How to Serve the People Around You [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Hailey Hudson. After our recent post by Britney Christian Miller on ministry work overseas, I thought this was a great follow-up! Many of us aren’t able to actually travel, but we can serve right at home!] I went on my first mission trip—a week-long excursion to Florida—when I was four years old, and I was immediately hooked. Brought up in a Christian home with a dad who worked closely with missionaries from all over the world, I understood the importance of sharing Christ with the world. I went on my first international mission trip when I was…

Priscilla and the Art of Focus
Priscilla and the Art of Focus [Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of guest posts by Remi Roy. She will be sharing devotionals related to people in the Bible! I’m so excited to have these as an addition to Devotional Diva. Thank you so much, Remi!] The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 1 Corinthians 16:19, NKJV I have pondered this thought for a while now. We aren’t busier today than older generations were in their time, only more distracted. Man has always been and will always be busy. There are…

Becoming a Mom is Completely Terrifying (and so is really being one!)
[Note: This is an updated version of my blog post that was originally published on Devotional Diva before I had my son in May 2015. I was recently telling a friend about this post. I was having major brain fog and was like, “Oh man, what was it called? Becoming a mom is completely…? Anxiety…?” It made me want to look back at the post and I decided to update it a little.] Becoming a mom is completely terrifying. Almost every night for the past few weeks, I’ve started falling asleep…and then I realize, I’M GOING TO BE A MOM. I go into a panic, thinking about how hard it will…

I Love You (but you love me more)
I Love You (But You Love Me More) [Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Melissa Merrett, who is bringing even MORE music to Devotional Diva! Melissa is sharing about her intimate songwriting experience as a Christian musician. I’m so grateful to be exposed to and to be sharing these wonderful Christian artists with you recently and I hope you enjoy their work!] I sat down at my piano to do some songwriting one morning. The birds were chirping and I had just boiled the kettle and poured myself a nice hot cup of tea. As I was sipping my tea in the silence of my bedroom at the piano,…
