It was wonderful to be back... LIFT 7/2026 Happy Birthday America
Today devotion was the God's Expectation of a Christian Woman...
Great Message, Great Food and even better Fellowship!

What Are God's Expectations of Christian Women Today?

Scripture: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." — Proverbs 31:25

As we celebrate 250 years of America, we pause to give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy and for those who sacrificed to preserve them. Freedom is a precious gift, but as followers of Christ, we are reminded that our greatest freedom is found in Jesus Christ.

Our nation has changed over the years. Culture has shifted, values have evolved, and the expectations placed on women are different than they were generations ago. Yet one thing has never changed, Is God's expectations for His daughters.

God is not looking for perfect women. He is looking for faithful women.

Today, God calls Christian women to:

1. Love Him Above All Else
Our relationship with God should be our highest priority. Before we are wives, mothers, daughters, friends, or professionals, we are His children.
Matthew 22:37

2. Live with Integrity
In a world where truth is often compromised, God calls us to be women whose words and actions reflect Christ.
Proverbs 10:9

3. Be Women of Prayer
Prayer is not our last resort, BUT it is our first response. Through prayer we receive wisdom, strength, and peace.
1 Thessalonians 5:17

4. Reflect Christ Through Love
People should recognize Jesus in the way we love, forgive, encourage, and serve others.
John 13:34-35

5. Teach the Next Generation
Whether we have children of our own or not, every Christian woman has the opportunity to influence younger women by her example and faith.
Titus 2:3-5

6. Stand Firm in Biblical Truth
Our values should be shaped by God's Word rather than by popular opinion. We are called to be courageous, gracious, and unwavering in our faith.
Romans 12:2

7. Shine as a Light
God has placed each of us exactly where we are for a purpose. At home, at work, in church, and in our communities, we are called to be His light.
Matthew 5:14-16

As America celebrates 250 years, let us also celebrate our identity as women of God. Nations rise and fall, cultures change, but God's Word remains forever. The greatest legacy we can leave is not simply being good citizens, but faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
May we be women known not only for what we accomplish, but for Whom we serve. Let us live with courage, love with compassion, lead with humility, and remain steadfast in our faith until the Lord returns.

We had a great LIFT Gathering this month. With a springtime lunch and a heartfelt message about Priorities Matter.

First Things First
Life gets busy. Between work, responsibilities, events, phones buzzing, and calendars filling up, it often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. We rush from one thing to the next trying to keep up with everything and everyone.

But in the middle of all the busyness, God gently reminds us of something important: our priorities matter.

God never intended for our lives to become so full that we forget what truly matters. The two greatest gifts He has given us are our relationship with Him and our families. Yet sometimes those are the very things that get pushed aside while we focus on everything else.

In the Bible, we are reminded in Matthew 6:33,
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you."

When we put God first, everything else begins to fall into the right place. That doesn’t mean life becomes less busy, but it means our hearts become centered on what truly matters.

Think about a family sitting around a dinner table. Phones are put away. The television is off. Everyone is talking, laughing, sharing stories about their day. In those simple moments, something beautiful happens, connection. Those are the moments that build memories and strengthen the bonds God created within families.
God designed families to support, encourage, and love one another. But those relationships require time, attention, and intention.

Spending time with God and our family doesn’t require perfection. It can be simple moments:
• A prayer together before dinner
• A short devotional in the morning
• A conversation at the end of a long day
• A moment of gratitude before bed

When we choose to give God the first part of our day and our family the best of our time, we are investing in things that last far longer than busy schedules or to-do lists.

At the end of our lives, we won’t remember most of the meetings, errands, or tasks that filled our calendars. But we will remember the love shared, the prayers spoken, and the moments spent with the people God placed in our lives.

So today, let’s pause and ask ourselves:
Am I giving my time to what truly matters?
When we place God first and family close behind, we build a life rooted in faith, love, and purpose.

Father God,
Thank You for the gift of family and the gift of time. Help us to slow down and remember what truly matters. Teach us to place You first in our lives and to cherish the people You have entrusted to us. Guide our hearts so that our days reflect Your love and our homes reflect Your peace. Thank You for the ladies of LIFT, keep us safe & strong.
Amen.

February's LIFT was all about LOVE ❤️
What is the definition of love
God is LOVE!

Anchored in God’s Unfailing Love

There are days when we feel strong in our faith — confident, hopeful, full of gratitude. And then there are days when we feel tired, uncertain, or even unworthy. But here is the beautiful truth:
God’s love does not rise and fall with our emotions.
Romans 8:38–39 reminds us:

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come… shall be able to separate us from the love of God.”
Nothing. Not our mistakes. Not our fears. Not our past. Not even our doubts. God’s love is not conditional — it is covenantal.

We live in a world where love can feel temporary. People change. Circumstances shift. Promises are broken. But God’s love is steady. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He does not change, then His love does not change either.

Think about that for a moment — the Creator of the universe knows you completely and still loves you fully.

When we look at the cross, we see the ultimate picture of love. John 3:16 declares that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Love gives. Love sacrifices. Love pursues. Even when humanity turned away, God leaned in.

And His love isn’t just something we receive — it’s something we reflect. When we understand how deeply we are loved, it changes how we love others. We become more patient. More forgiving. More compassionate. Not because we’re perfect, but because we’re anchored in perfect love.

Maybe today you need to be reminded:
• You are not forgotten.
• You are not too far gone.
• You are not too broken.
• You are deeply, relentlessly loved.
Let that truth quiet your worries and steady your heart.

Reflection Questions:
• Where have I been questioning God’s love in my life?
• How can I show God’s love to someone who needs encouragement this week?

Prayer:
Father, thank You for loving me with an everlasting love. When I doubt, remind me. When I fall, lift me. When I forget, draw me back to the cross. Help me to walk confidently in Your love and share it generously with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We had a great message at LIFT this month.

The True Meaning of Thankful

When we think about being thankful, our minds often go straight to what we have family, friends, a home, food on the table, maybe even a job we love. Those are wonderful blessings, and it’s good to thank God for them every day and not just at Thanksgiving.

But the true meaning of being thankful is deeper than the good things in life, it’s a heart posture that remains grateful even when life isn’t perfect.

True thankfulness isn’t based on our circumstances. It’s based on our trust, our trust that God is still working, even when we don’t understand.

The Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18,
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Notice that it doesn’t say for all circumstances... it says in all circumstances.

That means even in our challenges, our waiting seasons, our losses, we can still find a reason to give thanks, because God is still with us, still providing, still teaching, and still loving us through it all.

When we choose to be thankful, something shifts inside of us.
• Worry gives way to peace.
• Complaining turns into contentment.
• And we begin to see how truly blessed we are.

Being thankful doesn’t mean ignoring the hard things. It means trusting that God is greater than the hard things.

So today, take a moment to pause and reflect:
What am I truly thankful for — not just the easy blessings, but the lessons, the growth, the moments when God carried me through?
When our hearts live in gratitude, we become a reflection of God’s goodness to others. Our thankfulness brings light, hope, and encouragement to everyone around us.

Closing Prayer:
Father God, Thank You for every blessing — seen and unseen. Teach us to be thankful not just when life feels good, but even when it’s hard. Help us to recognize Your hand in every part of our story and to carry hearts full of gratitude each day. May our thankfulness remind others of Your faithfulness. And may we all have JOY every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
