Bible Plan Recs for Fall
Can you believe summer is already over? (womp womp) Unless you're a southern hemisphere Diva ready for spring! I've been really into the Bible Gateway App's reading plans (not an ad, and I know many of you have the app too!) so I wanted to share some of my recent favorites. These are like little Bible studies you can do on your phone. They have devotional and accompanying scriptures. You may recall I mentioned loving the plan Soul Detox last year.

A Cat Named Mascot
Over the past year and a half, I began to study closely the life of Mascot—his going out and coming in, and my husband’s interactions with him, and his with my husband. It has been during these times that the Holy Spirit ministered to me that the relationship between Mascot and my husband can be compared to our relationship with God. There are two very important similarities.

Unworthy Faith?
[Editor’s Note: This is an excerpt from Shauna Letellier’s book Remarkable Faith: When Jesus Marveled at the Faith of Uremarkable People. (Thanks to Faith Words for sending me a copy for review!) This section of the book on unworthy faith really resonated with me, and I hope it can inspire you on your faith journey as well!] When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus,…

Change Your Story
[Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from Kirstin Leigh’s breakout book, Change Your Story. I am so grateful to Kirstin today for sharing her inspiring story today on Devotional Diva — both in text AND video form! Be sure to watch her video for Devotional Diva below, too!] Choosing to Change Don’t wait until the pain outweighs the pleasure. You can lose five pounds before your high school reunion, your wedding, or your date on Friday night. You can stop drinking for ten days, just to prove you can. You can live on a budget—for a week. As long as we know there is an ending date, most of us can…

My Modesty Story
[Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Hannah Anderson. Today Hannah is sharing her personal modesty story — and I commend her for that. Everyone has different modesty standards today; let’s face it, there’s no cut and dry rules. Hannah felt led to share and I love the lesson in her story! Thank you Hannah for being brave!] A twenty-something Christian woman who always always held herself up to Christian standards of purity and modesty (sort of, more on that later) and wore her father’s purity ring he gave her a decade prior with pride. This woman always liked to talk about how above the world and the…

Editorial: Why All Women Are Safe at Devotional Diva
Why All Women Are Safe at Devotional Diva I am a Christian, and I believe God made and loves all humans, regardless of their current religion or lack thereof. While I would never want to alienate any of Devotional Diva’s followers, at some point I think it becomes more of an issue to not speak out. I think we have reached that point. I greatly respect everyone’s points of view, so please keep that in mind. However, as a Christian with this platform, I feel the need to speak out. Although Devotional Diva was founded as a Christian blog, please know that your faith doesn’t matter here. You are safe…

How Top-40 Pop Relates to Worship
[Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Sarah Anne Brown. When Sarah sent this devotional in, I was so excited! I LOVE taking top-40 songs and turning them into worship songs! My personal favorite top-40 song that really gets me in a worship mood is “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit. Thanks so much for sharing your story today, Sarah!] When I first heard “Starving” by Hailee Steinfeld, I did what most people did: put it on repeat for about two weeks and then forgot about it. But thanks to my comprehensive Spotify playlists, I revisited the song a few months ago. When I heard it again, I was undergoing a lifestyle…

We Are Meant to Relate
[editor’s note: This is a guest post by Ayodele Oluwafunsho. I love her post today on friendship and how we relate to one another! This weekend, I’m reading Bible verses in one of my best friend from childhood’s wedding (remember the one from last year that got married? that’s the third pea in our pod!). Friendship is such a blessing!] Friendship is one of the greatest assets you can possess in life. It’s so funny we know how to treat lesser assets than the greater ones. Friendship is one of the most strategic things in life; it’s something you don’t have to take for granted. If the Bible said “Two…
