Woman of Faith on the Wall 4 God with Nani Bee

Today is Day 2 of our series, “Lonely But Not Alone: Finding God in Every Season of Life.” My sister, what happens when the person you thought would grow old beside you… isn’t there anymore?

Today is Day 1 of our series, “Lonely But Not Alone: Finding God in Every Season of Life,” and today we’re talking about singleness — finding wholeness before a relationship.

Today is Day 5 of our series, When God Is Rebuilding You, and our topic is: Rise, Sister—There Is Still Purpose in You. All week we've talked about God rebuilding us. But sisters, rebuilding isn't only about what God is bringing us out of. Sometimes He's rebuilding us because of what He's preparing us to step into.

Today is Day 4 of our series, When God Is Rebuilding You, and our topic is: God Can Restore What Life Took From You.

Today is Day 3 of our series, When God Is Rebuilding You, and our topic is: Stop Looking Back at Who You Used to Be.

Today is Day 2 of our series, When God Is Rebuilding You, and our topic is: You Can Rebuild From Here. Yesterday, we were reminded that God is not finished with our story. Today, sisters, we're going to talk about what happens when God brings us to the broken places and says, “It's time to rebuild.”

Today is Day 1 of our series, When God Is Rebuilding You, and our topic is: God Is Not Finished With Your Story. My beautiful sis, before we go anywhere today, let’s go to God’s Word. Our Scripture of the day comes from Philippians 1:6: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Sis, listen to that again in your heart: He who began the work will continue the work. That means God is not finished with you.

Today is Day 5, and our topic is: “Maybe God Put You Here for This.” Sis, we've talked this week about identity, worth, loving people we cannot change, and healing from wounds we didn't choose. But today I want to ask you: What if your story isn't only about what you've survived? What if God still wants to do something through you?

Today is Day 4, and our topic is: “When They Hurt You and Never Apologize.” Sis, what do you do when somebody hurts you...and never says they're sorry? No acknowledgment. No taking responsibility. Maybe they even continued with their life while you were left carrying the pain. And sometimes we think, If they would just apologize, maybe I could finally move forward. But what happens when that apology never comes?

Today is Day 3, and our topic is: “Loving Someone You Cannot Change.” Sis, have you ever loved someone so much that their choices started stealing your peace? Maybe it's a child who has walked away from God. A family member making decisions that hurt them. Someone you love who keeps returning to the same struggles. You've prayed. You've encouraged. You've tried to help. And yet you find yourself asking: “God, what else can I do?”

Today is Day 2, and our topic is: “When You Keep Trying to Prove Your Worth.” Sis, have you ever worked too hard trying to convince somebody that you matter? Maybe you're always the one reaching out, showing up, giving more, or trying to keep the relationship together. And somewhere along the way, their inability to value you started making you question your own value.

Today is Day 1, and our topic is: “I Don’t Recognize Myself Anymore.” Sis, have you ever looked at your life and quietly wondered: What happened to me? Maybe it didn't happen all at once. You spent years being the mother, the wife, the caregiver, the dependable friend, the woman everybody calls. Or maybe life changed suddenly. A relationship ended. The children grew up. You lost someone. A door closed that you thought would stay open. And now you're standing in a season you didn't expect, asking: “God, who am I now?”

This is Day 5 of our series, “God, I’m Tired.” And Beautiful sis, maybe you started this week tired—and today, everything still isn't fixed. The family situation may still be there. The responsibility may still be yours. That prayer may still be unanswered. But I want you to remember this: Tired does not mean finished.

This is Day 4 of our 5-day series, “God, I’m Tired,” and today we're asking: Where do you find strength when life won't slow down? Sis, I'd love to tell you that once you admit you're tired, everything suddenly gets easier. But that's not real life. The children still need you. Work is still waiting. Bills still come. People still call. And sometimes the situation you've been praying about still hasn't changed. So what do you do when you're tired—but you still have responsibilities? You change where you're getting your strength.

This is Day 3 of our 5-day series, “God, I’m Tired,” and today we're talking about when your soul is tired, not just your body. Sis, have you ever gone to sleep tired, woke up tired, and thought, “How can I still be exhausted?” Maybe your body rested. But your heart didn't. Because sometimes it's not more sleep we need. We're tired from worrying. Tired from disappointment. Tired from holding back tears. Tired from waiting for something to change. And sometimes we're simply spiritually drained.

This is Day 2 of our 5-day series, “God, I’m Tired,” and today we're talking about something many strong women struggle to admit: You were never meant to carry everything. Sis, have you become so used to being the one everybody depends on that asking for help feels harder than just doing it yourself? You handle the family. The work. The appointments. The problems. Someone needs something—and somehow, you're the one they call. But here's the question: Who told you that being a strong woman of faith means doing everything alone?

This is Day 1 of our 5-day series, “God, I’m Tired,” and today we're talking about what happens when you're weary from carrying too much. Sis, when was the last time somebody asked, “How are you?” and you wanted to tell the truth—“I'm tired”—but instead you smiled and said, “I'm fine”? I'm not talking about the kind of tired one good night's sleep can fix. I'm talking about the tired that nobody sees. Tired of being the strong one. Tired of worrying about your family. Tired of everybody needing something from you. Maybe even tired of praying about the same situation and wondering, “Lord, when is something going to change?”

Sis,Have you ever noticed how one small light suddenly becomes important when everything around you goes dark? Maybe you've experienced it during a power outage. The room hasn't changed. The furniture is still there. The doorway is still there. But without light… it's harder to know where you're going. And then someone turns on a flashlight. Suddenly, everybody looks toward the light. Isn't that interesting? We don't always recognize how valuable light is… until we're surrounded by darkness. And maybe that's true spiritually, too. That's where we're going today. So, let's talk about it.

Sis, Have you ever needed an answer right now… but no matter where you looked, you couldn't find one? Maybe you were waiting for news. Trying to make a decision. Wondering what was going to happen next. And that uncertainty can be uncomfortable, can't it? Because we've become so used to having answers right at our fingertips. But sometimes life brings us to a place where there is no instant answer. And maybe the question isn't only, “Where can I find the answer?” Maybe it's… “Who am I trusting to guide me when I don't have one?” That's where we're going today. So, let's talk about it.

Sis, Have you ever kept going and going… only to realize you were running on empty? Maybe not physically empty. Maybe emotionally. Spiritually. That place where you're still showing up, still taking care of everybody, still saying, “I'm okay”… but somewhere inside, you know your battery is getting low. I think every one of us has been there in one way or another. And sometimes we don't realize just how empty we've become until something stops working. So today, I want to ask you one simple question: What are you plugged into? Let's talk about it.

Have you ever had everything around you suddenly go quiet… and realized you didn't know what to do with the silence? I think, in one way or another, we've all been there. Sometimes life gets quiet because we choose it. And sometimes… life gets quiet because we don't have a choice. But what if there's something God wants us to notice in that silence? That's what we're talking about today. So, let's talk about it.

Sis, have you ever prayed for someone in your family so many times that you didn’t even know what else to say? Maybe it’s a child who has walked away. A marriage that feels strained. A sister you no longer speak to. A parent who hurt you. Or maybe everyone thinks your family is doing just fine… but behind closed doors, your heart is breaking. And somewhere in those quiet moments, you’ve asked: “God… are You still working in my family?” My beautiful sister, today I want to remind you: God sees what happens behind the closed doors. He knows every name. He knows every hurt. And yes… God is still working.

Sis, Have you ever had someone in authority make a decision that affected your life… and you had absolutely no say in it? Maybe it’s your boss. Maybe it’s a supervisor. Maybe it’s a government official or leader. And you find yourself thinking, “Lord, what am I supposed to do when the person making the decisions is making my life harder?” Sister… that can be frustrating. Especially when you’re trying to do the right thing and someone else has the power to change your circumstances. But here’s what I want you to remember today: Their position does not replace God’s position.

Sis, Have you ever walked into work already feeling tired before the day even started? Maybe your job feels uncertain. Maybe your hours have been cut. Maybe you’re waiting for a promotion that never came. Maybe your workplace feels stressful, unfair, or like nobody notices how hard you’re trying. Or maybe you’re searching for work right now and wondering: “God, where are You taking me?” My beautiful sister, if that is where you are today, I want you to hear this clearly: Your job may feel uncertain… but God is not.

Sis, Have you ever sat in a place where you were waiting for answers? Maybe it was a doctor’s office. Maybe it was a hospital room. Maybe it was a moment when you received news you never expected. And even though you tried to stay strong, deep down in your heart you whispered: “God, do You see me?” “Are You still with me?” My beautiful sister, if you are walking through a season where your health feels uncertain, I want you to hear this today: God sees you. He sees the fear you don’t always talk about. He sees the tears you wipe away. He sees every prayer you pray when you don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

Sis, Have you ever looked at your finances and wondered, “Lord… how am I going to make this work?” Maybe you’re looking at bills that keep coming, a bank account that feels smaller than your needs, or a future that feels uncertain. Maybe everyone around you thinks you’re okay because you keep smiling… but inside you’re asking God: “Do You see me?” “Do You know what I need?” My beautiful sister, before we go any further, I want you to remember this: God sees you. He sees the worries you carry.
He sees the prayers you whisper.
He sees the things you’re trying to figure out.

Sis, Have you ever wondered if one mistake could change how God sees you? Maybe it was something you said. A decision you made. A season of your life you wish you could erase. Maybe no one else even knows about it... But you do. And every once in a while, it quietly finds its way back into your thoughts. You love Jesus... But you've caught yourself wondering, "Can God really forgive me?" "Can He still use someone like me?" If you've ever asked those questions... This conversation is just for you.

"She wasn't angry because dinner wasn't ready... she was angry because she couldn't stop looking at her sister." It's amazing how one quick glance can change everything. One moment you're grateful. The next... You're wondering why someone else's life seems easier than yours. Why her prayers seem answered. Why her family looks happier. Why her faith looks stronger. Have you ever caught yourself doing that? I know I have.

Welcome to Day 3 of our series, Perfectly a Mess... God's Way. Today's topic is:
When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan. Sis, let me ask you something... Have you ever prayed... Made plans... Believed everything was finally coming together... And then... Life took a turn you never saw coming? A door closed. A relationship ended. A diagnosis came. A job disappeared. Or maybe your dream simply didn't happen the way you expected. And you found yourself asking... "God...what are You doing?" My beautiful sister... Can I remind you of something today? Just because life doesn't make sense to you... Doesn't mean it isn't making sense to God.

Welcome to Day 2 of our series, Perfectly a Mess... God's Way. Today's topic is:
God Uses Broken Pieces. Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever dropped your favorite coffee mug... Watched it shatter into pieces... And thought, "Well...that's ruined." Or maybe that's how you feel about your own life. A broken marriage... A broken dream... A broken relationship... A broken heart... Or maybe you've whispered to yourself... "God can never use someone this broken." My beautiful sister... Can I tell you something today? The world throws broken things away... But God restores them.

Welcome to Day 1 of our brand-new 5-day series, Perfectly a Mess... God's Way. Today's topic is:
God Still Calls Messy People. Now sis...let me ask you something? Have you ever looked at your life... And thought, "God could never use someone like me." Maybe you've made mistakes... Said things you wish you could take back... Walked through heartbreak... Struggled with fear... Or felt like everyone else has their life together... Except you. Maybe you've been waiting until your life is less messy... Before serving God. Before stepping into your purpose. Before believing He could really use you. My beautiful sister... Can I tell you something? God has never been looking for perfect people. Because if He was... The Bible would be empty.

Faithfulness Over Perfection. Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever eaten one unhealthy meal... And thought, "Well...I blew it." Then one cookie became five... One missed workout became a missed week... And before you knew it... You had completely given up? Sometimes we believe... If we can't do it perfectly... There's no point in doing it at all. But my beautiful sister... That's not how God works. God isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for faithfulness.

Welcome to Day 4 of our series, Fit for His Purpose. Today's topic is:
 Move Your Body with Joy, Not Guilt. Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever thought... "I have to work out because I ate too much yesterday." Or maybe you've said... "I don't have time to exercise." Or... "I'm too out of shape to even start." Maybe exercise feels more like a punishment... Than a blessing. My beautiful sister... What if we stopped looking at movement as something we have to do... And started seeing it as something we get to do? Because every step... Every stretch... Every walk... Is a reminder that God has given us another day to live.

Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever walked into the kitchen... Opened the refrigerator... Stood there staring inside... Not because you were hungry... But because you were stressed? Lonely? Bored? Or maybe you had a hard day... Someone hurt your feelings... The house got quiet... And somehow that bag of chips... That bowl of ice cream... Or those cookies... Started calling your name. My beautiful sister... Sometimes we're not hungry for food... We're hungry for comfort. And no amount of food can satisfy a hungry soul.

Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever told yourself... "Tomorrow I'm eating healthy." Then tomorrow comes... Someone brings donuts to work... The kids leave chips on the counter... You're tired... Stressed... And before you know it... You're thinking, "Well...I already messed up today...I might as well start again on Monday." Sound familiar? My beautiful sister... Can I tell you something? You're not failing because you don't have enough willpower. You're trying to fight a spiritual battle with human strength. And that's exhausting.

Welcome to Day 1 of our brand-new series, Fit for His Purpose. Today's topic is:
 Your Body Is God's Temple. Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever stood in front of the mirror... Pulled at your shirt... Turned sideways... And quietly whispered, "I wish I looked different." Or maybe you've stepped on the scale... Seen the number... And let it determine whether today was going to be a good day... Or a bad one. Maybe you've started diet after diet... Promised yourself,
"This time will be different." Only to end up feeling discouraged... Ashamed... Or wondering,
"Why can't I stick with it?" My beautiful sister... What if I told you... God never intended the scale to determine your worth? What if your health journey was never supposed to begin with losing pounds... But with changing your perspective? Because before God changes our habits... He wants to change our hearts.

Welcome to Day 5, our final day in the series, Everyone's Searching for Love... But What Is Love, Really? Today’s topic is on: Love Changes Everything Now sis...let me ask you something... Have you ever gone to the grocery store for just one thing... And somehow came home with two bags of groceries... But forgot the one thing you went there to buy? You walk in the house thinking, "Well...I have cookies, bananas, shampoo...but I still forgot the milk!" Sometimes we can do the same thing in our walk with Jesus. We learn Scripture... We attend church... We pray... But we forget to love people... We've missed the very thing Jesus told us matters most.

Now sister….have you ever accidentally hit the wrong button on your phone... Then suddenly twenty-seven windows are open... Music is playing... Someone's calling... And you're just tapping everything, hoping it fixes itself? Sometimes life feels exactly like that. We make one mistake... Then another... And before long we wonder, "Did I mess up too much for God to still love me?" If you've ever asked that question... Today's message is for you.

Welcome to Day 3 of our series, Everyone's Searching for Love... But What Is Love, Really? Now sis…have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Well...I used to know her!" Or maybe you've walked into a room with complete confidence... Only to forget why you went in there in the first place! You stand there looking around like, "Lord...there had to be a reason You brought me in here, right?” Sometimes we laugh at those little moments. But sometimes we look at ourselves and ask a much deeper question... "Could God really love someone like me?" Maybe because of mistakes you've made... Words you wish you could take back... Or seasons of your life you're not proud of. If you've ever asked that question, today's message is for you.

Welcome to Day 2 of our series, Everyone's Searching for Love... But What Is Love, Really? Now sis...have you ever said... "That's it! I'm never talking to them again!" Then two days later... You're sitting next to them at a family barbecue...passing the potato salad like nothing ever happened. Families have a funny way of reminding us that relationships aren't always easy. And if we're honest... Sometimes forgiveness isn't either.

Today we're beginning a brand-new series called "Everyone's Searching for Love... But What Is Love, Really?" Now sis, let me ask you something... Have you ever stood in your kitchen staring into the refrigerator... Closed the door... Opened it again thirty seconds later... As if love magically appeared between the milk and the leftovers? Or maybe you've searched everywhere for your car keys... Only to realize they were in your hand the whole time! Sometimes we're searching for something that's been right in front of us all along. And that's exactly what's happening in our world today. Millions of people are searching online for one simple word... Love. Isn't that interesting? The world is asking Google, "What is love?" But long before search engines existed, God already gave us the answer.

Today is Day 5 of our series, GPS: God’s Purpose Search, and our topic is Follow the GPS Every Day. Now sister, have you ever turned on your GPS for a place you already know how to get to? You tell yourself, “I don’t need directions. I’ve been there plenty of times.” Then one road is closed, traffic is backed up, and suddenly you’re whispering to the GPS, “Okay, sister, I apologize. Please help me.” Sometimes we treat God that way. We ask for His direction when we feel completely lost, but when life feels familiar, we grab the wheel again. Yet God’s purpose is not something we seek only during a crisis. It is something we follow every day.

Today is Day 4 of our series, GPS: God's Purpose Search and today’s topic is on: Listening for God's Directions Now sisters...have you ever called someone, and they answered... "Hello?" And you immediately knew who it was without them saying their name? Or maybe your kids call, and before they even finish saying "mom," you already know exactly who's on the other end. Why? Because you've heard that voice so many times. The more familiar you become with someone's voice, the easier it is to recognize it. The same is true with God.

Today is Day 3 of our series, GPS: God's Purpose Search and today’s topic is “Detours Are Not Denials” Now, let me ask you something... Have you ever been driving somewhere, missed your turn, and instead of calmly turning around...you started talking to the GPS? "No...I know a shortcut!" Twenty minutes later you're driving through neighborhoods you've never seen before, wondering if you've accidentally entered another island. Then the GPS quietly says... "Recalculating." I'm so thankful God doesn't panic when we miss a turn. He simply keeps working.

Welcome to Day 2 of our series, GPS: God's Purpose Search. Now sisters...have you ever looked at someone else's life on social media and thought, "Wow, she's got it all together." Meanwhile...you're standing in your kitchen wondering why you opened the refrigerator...again. You close it... Walk away... Then come right back because you forgot what you were looking for the first time! We've all been there! Sometimes we laugh about little moments like that, but sometimes comparison becomes something much deeper. We begin wondering... "Maybe God forgot about me." "Maybe I'm not gifted enough." "Maybe my purpose isn't as important as hers." Sister...that's simply not true.

Today is Day 1 of our brand-new series, GPS: God's Purpose Search and today’s topic is on Lost? Let God Be Your GPS, Now sisters...have you ever been using your GPS, feeling all confident, and then suddenly you hear those famous words..."Recalculating." And you're sitting there like, "Excuse me...I'm not lost. I'm just...taking the scenic route!" Then five minutes later you're driving past the same gas station for the third time. Life can feel like that sometimes, can't it? We think we know where we're going until life throws us a detour, a closed door, or an unexpected season. Suddenly we're asking, God...am I on the right road? Did I miss my purpose? If you've ever felt that way, today's message is for you.

We've made it to Day 5, the final day of our series, "God's Love Is Enough." What a beautiful journey it's been! Now, let me ask you something... Have you ever gone to Costco for just one thing... And somehow you came home with a giant box of snacks, a blanket you didn't know you needed, a plant, and enough toilet paper to survive until Jesus comes back? You walk in saying, "I'm only spending twenty dollars!" Then you get to the register and say... "Lord...multiply my bank account like You multiplied the loaves and fishes!" Isn't it amazing how we always think we need just one more thing to be happy?

It is such a blessing to have you here today. Now let me ask you something... Have you ever walked into a room with so much confidence...and then completely forgotten why you went in there? You just stand there looking around like, "Lord...send me a clue!" Then you walk back into the kitchen, and suddenly you remember. Isn't that how life feels sometimes? We start the day feeling strong, and by lunchtime we're wondering, "Lord...can I get a refill on my strength?" The good news is... God never runs out of strength. And even better... He's happy to share His.

Today's episode is a little extra special because today I'm celebrating my 52nd birthday! Praise God! Now, can I be honest with you? When I was younger, I thought fifty-two sounded...well...ancient! Now that I'm here, I'm thinking..."Fifty-two? That's still young enough to dance...I just stretch first!" And if I bend down to pick something up, I'm probably looking around for two more things so it doesn't look like I came all that way for nothing! But all joking aside... Today isn't just about celebrating another birthday. It's about celebrating 52 years of God's faithfulness.

Have you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and thought... "Why was I so worried about how I looked back then?" Or maybe you've replayed an embarrassing moment from ten years ago...and somehow your brain still says, "Yep...let's remember that again at two o'clock in the morning!" Isn't it funny how we remember our mistakes better than we remember God's mercy? Sometimes we're the only ones still carrying yesterday...while God has already forgiven it.
