Support vs Competition #onmyheart
Why must we make hardship a competition? Do you know what I mean? When someone has to one-up you with their experience and how much worse it was in comparison to yours.

Negativity Detox
When I remember to stop the negative thoughts and focus on something else, life doesn't seem as difficult. I don't have the same weight upon my shoulders.

The New Devotional Diva…
I am the New Devotional Diva? Of course, I already knew that before Renee's blog post. But it is just such a strange and wonderful thing to read! (I also love the photo Renee used in her post.) She has permanently given me the reigns over here at Devotional Diva! God led us both to this, and it feels really really right.

What Doesn’t Kill Us…
What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger [editor’s note: This is a guest post from Devotional Diva alum Sophia Reed!] How many times have you sat in a situation thinking that there is no way out of it? We think about the promises of God, but wonder why it does not apply in our situation. To answer this question I look to some of the prominent figures in the Bible. David, who was known for being a man after God’s own heart. Esther, a small-town girl who became a queen of one of the biggest empires, or Ruth who finally got her Boaz. So often we look at the end…

When the Writing Won’t Flow
But when I try to sit down and write, the words just won’t flow. My writing feels clunky. My voice doesn’t feel as clear. When I read back what I manage to put on the page, I’m disappointed in myself. It’s like I’m doing a disservice to the topic of the post.

God Is Still In The Marriage Business
God Is Still In The Marriage Business [editor’s note: This post was originally published on Feb 09, 2016. Due to a recent glitch, I’m just republishing it!] My husband and I decided to get married because we wanted our lives to line up within God’s order. It was not because of love, convenience, or social pressures. We made up in our minds that we will be examples to our families of what God can do when you put Him first. I wanted to share this for two reasons. First, we don’t hear enough. I even have people today that frown up at me when I say it. Secondly, I want to…

My Doubtful Voice
My Doubtful Voice [Editor’s note: This post was originally published on Devotional Diva on Feb 02, 2016. Due to a glitch, I’m simply republishing it!] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 December 21st, 2015 That doubtful voice inside my head is becoming ever stronger. What if this goes terribly? What if it’s too much? What if my husband is gone more than we expect? What if I am really homesick? What if I don’t make friends and I’m really lonely? Can I even handle this?…
