CWAHM Video Devotions – The Proverbs 31 Woman – Week 7
Posted by: | CommentsThis week we’re talking about generosity – and how in God’s economy things are upside down…even in business. To lead, we must serve. To “get,” we must give.
Our verse this week is:
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
Proverbs 31:20 (NIV)
Hurry, Scurry, Worry
Posted by: | Comments
Many of us have read or heard the story of Mary and Martha – the two sisters in Luke chapter 10.
Mary chooses to sit and listen to Jesus teach. Martha, on the other hand, scurries around taking care of what she deems important tasks. Luke 10:38 says that Jesus was a guest at their house, so I’m sure Martha felt that she needed to play the part of the hostess, making sure food was being prepared and floors were being scrubbed. She is busy hurrying, scurrying and worrying while Mary simply sits.
In her frustration, Martha complains to Jesus that Mary has left her to do all the work by herself. And do you know how Jesus replies?
But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her.” (v. 41-42)
Lately I’ve found myself hurrying, scurrying and worrying like Martha. There seem to be so many things to worry about each day – my kids, my husband, my business. And if I’m not worrying about them, who will? And if no one worries about them … well, surely something would go wrong, right? Read More→

Thinking Through It All
Holding On
Posted by: | Comments
If you’re feeling like you’re “at the end of your rope,” then you’re right where God wants you. The problem is that we tend to hold onto the rope . . . when we should be grabbing hold of our faith in God. So, holding onto God, trusting Him, means “letting go.” Don’t believe me? Here’s an example:
There was a mountain climber who desperately wanted to conquer the Aconcagua and began climbing it after years of preparation. But, he wanted the glory to himself, so he went up alone. He started climbing and it became later and later. He didn’t prepare for camping, so he decided to keep going. Soon it grew very dark . . .
Night fell with heaviness at a very high altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly, he could only see blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity.

Moments for Mom: October 2010
Posted by: | CommentsA few things have converged in my 12-year-old son’s life over the past couple months. Back in the spring, he and I began reading Take Your Best Shot by then-nine-year-old Austin Gutwein, the story of a boy who decided he didn’t want to wait until he was all grown up to do something big for God. Then Jack decided he wanted to attend a Christian school and after a few months of praying and investigating, we moved forward with that decision. In doing so, I found out that Jack would have assignments to complete before school started up again. Yay – SUMMER homework! But part of his homework was to read and report on a book called Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado and the Spirit used it to work on both of our hearts. One reading in particular really got to Jack. It was Mr. Lucado’s take on what the leper must’ve felt who was healed by Jesus. Jack wrote in his notes that it reminded him of being at Feed My Starving Children earlier that day.
Jack had gone with some friends for a packing session earlier that day, where they packed meals for children in third-world countries. While we were reading Just Like Jesus that night, he said, “Did you know that for only ten dollars, you could feed two children for a month?” “I didn’t know that, bud…that’s amazing,” I said.
And then I could tell his mind was going. We’d been kicking around the idea for months of ways he could use his love of basketball to raise money for Africa, like Austin Gutwein did, and those books and that day’s packing session all came together for him. Read More→
