Romans 12:8
(KJV) Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
(NIV) if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
(NLT) If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. - Romans 12:7

It takes faith to speak up and speak out.
Romans 12:6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.

Here's an idea: I focus on what I'm good at and you focus on what you're good at it, both to the glory and honor of God. Instead of envying each other's ability, let's encourage each other.
Romans 12:4-5 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

If you are on a pedestal, who put you there?
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. - Romans 12:3

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
After you change the way you think, THEN you will learn God's will for you.

Let's dive into Romans 12! Sacrifice is not easy or ideal. That's why it's a sacrifice! Is your body a sacrifice to God?
Romans 12:1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.

We’re so glad you’re considering a marriage retreat with your spouse. We can both say that this is something we look forward to doing together. People may ask: why have a marriage retreat? Well, we have several reasons why we do a marriage retreat, but we tried to narrow them down to five.
We try to focus on remembering why we got together in the first place.
Our second is to be of one accord. We take this time to unplug and intentionally focus on each other.
The third reason is we Learn from Our Past: The best way we plan for the future is by learning from our past failures and successes.
Measurement is our fourth reason: As a tool of measurement, we take this time to highlight improvements throughout the year(s).
The fifth and final reason is Intentionality: We take this time to be intentional—not just in focusing on one another, but also in dating each other.
In this interactive workbook, you'll have several tools to help you plan while on your marriage retreat, from a schedule template to a budget calendar to fun date night ideas. One of the last things the enemy wants to see is a husband and a wife seeking God's vision and plans for their marriage, all for His glory. So today, begin casting vision for your marriage!

Grieve the way that works for you. The disciples weren't being lazy. They were being human! They were exhausted from an emotionally charged day. Jesus has told them He's going to suffer.
The One who resurrects the dead, heals the sick, gives eternal life, is saying He is about to die. What do you do?
Is there any one right way to grieve? No. Do I believe there's a wrong way, yes...
Something happens when we're too busy for Jesus and when we get distracted.
1) Worry
2) Anxious
3) Loss of Focus
Avoid the distraction, allow the interruption.
Luke 10:38-42
38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. 40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Have you read the Book of Numbers? What if we actually believed in God's plans for us? The Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, but think about it... while they wandered God was still preparing the Promised Land for them.
What might God be preparing for you right now, even though it doesn't seem like it?
Forgive the sound quality!
We're talking about the power of influence. Influence is POWERFUL! Hear me out, what do great leaders have in common? Whether good or bad? They have the ability to influence!
We often wonder, how could Hitler convince people to try to exterminate the Jewish race? He had influence.
You can do the Godly thing, but not do it the Godly way? What do you think? I dive into this idea in discussing work.
Question: Would you pay you to do what you do?
Idolatry... It's hard to believe we have idols today, but when you actually think about it, it's not. We may not carve images and bow before them, but we do dedicate hours upon hours to them. We do choose them over what's best for us. We make sacrifices for them.
So ask yourself, is there an idol in your life? Is there something you are willing to admit that you choose over God? Tune in as I had to have this conversation with myself. The answer broke my heart.
This episode was a conversation I had with my husband Brandon on our MooreTime Podcast. Tune in to listen to our chat on boundaries.

How often do you just breathe? Don't think about your to-do list, don't think about what you need to do, don't think about what didn't get done. Just breathe.
Decompress.
Take 15 minutes to just be.
Psalm 23:1-2
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
What are your green pastures? Why does the psalm say He makes me lie down in green pastures? Let's talk about it!

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
I'm ruining my present by worrying about my future. There's a reason God says today's troubles are enough for today.
Tomorrow's troubles can be dwelled on tomorrow.
Is death a real reality? Yes. Is it unhealth to think about death? Tune in to hear my thoughts.
We're "Hitting the Books" in this episode. I discuss the book, "Becoming a Woman that Listens to God," by Sharon Jaynes.
In this book, she shared several ways that God speaks to us. He speaks through friends, His Word, circumstances, and so much more.
Thank you to E from my small group that dropped this gem of wisdom on us. Practice is progress.
It's so easy to rush through life or to rush progression. I've said it before, the process is the glory. What you need to develop to be the best you in the future is found in the process of development.

This was one of the books that changed my life essentially. Several reasons:

2) It is well written.
3) It is the book that made me fall in love with reading.
Thank you Stephanie Perry Moore for this book.

Hint: It has something to do with other people.
What are palette problems? Well, it's not what you're thinking. The Bible says taste and see that the Lord is good. My question is, what if people don't want to taste because Christians have made the Christian lifestyle seem so bitter?
We're hitting the books with "Anything," by Jennie Allen. If you're truly ready to surrender to God anything, then this is the book for you. Life will be a wild ride, with no regrets.
What is true beauty? We as women, have an idea or think we have an idea. Men have something else in mind. I interviewed Brandon on what true beauty is.
Here's a male's take on beauty, and it's really not what we're conditioned to believe.
How has beauty been defined in your life?
Does hurry and worry get the best of you? Trees take a long time to grow and go. They grow big, and go deep with roots, but that takes time. So it's going to take time for me to grow and go too.
Deep roots don't happen overnight.
Do you want to read something that is both engaging and encouraging? What about entertaining? This book by Donald Miller was such a special read, it was all of the above and then some. Simply put, it was a very well-written book on how to tell a good story, not just as a writer, but as a person.

This has been the first book review episode I've done with another person. This was a fun one because this was a former student of mine that started a Book Club. In it, we discuss the book "The Help," and the personal impact it had on us as book readers.
You know what I've realized? It takes no power to react or to get even with someone. That's easy. Anyone is capable of that. True power is restraining from doing so.
Can we really overstress the importance of the here and now? I'd say I spend far too much time focused on a future they may never come, and far too little time focusing on the present that is at hand.
What if I had a proper understanding of allowing interruptions but not distractions?
What if I spent more time in the presence of God instead of rushing to the next thing? No one in the history of mankind ever left God's presence worse off.
Do you get discouraged with everything going on in the world? How do you not feel like giving up? Tune in to hear what may be a friendly reminder of our purpose in the midst of the madness.
Wanna getaway? Do it! It doesn't have to be a big getaway. Maybe you just need a breather. Tune in to hear about how important it is to recognize when you need that breather.
We're hitting the books with Lovestruck by Sharon Jaynes. I must say, this in-depth description of the Song of Songs gave me a clearer understanding of this biblical book.
We're hitting the books in this episode. This book, "Resisting Happiness," is currently my favorite read of 2023. Want to find out why?
Take a listen. 😀
Right or Righteous?
There's a difference between right and righteous. In this episode, I'll discuss how this question is impacting my everyday life.
Processes are painful, aren't they? Think about it. Healing is painful. Growth is painful. But the process is the glory, and what comes from it can be glorious. Listen as I dive into this topic today, The Painful Process.

Be careful when slavery starts to look good. Crazy, right? Why would slavery look good? How can bondage be appealing? Believe it or not, it can be, and I'll tell you why in this episode.
Let Your Solution be a Question
Jeremiah 32:26-27
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
With every obstacle we face, with the persistence of life’s difficulties, and with the nagging fears and doubts that we face, let’s not force ourselves to come up with a solution to all. Let’s not assume that we don’t have the answer or that God is silent. Where we search for answers, let us find the solution in this question.
Hey! Do you ever feel abandoned or singled out? Feel like no one can understand what you're facing? I've got just the book recommendation for you! Today, I'm discussing one of my favorite authors, Max Lucado.
Tune in as I hit the books and dive into one of his more recent books, "You Are Never Alone."
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. – Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
If you’ve been a follower of Jesus for a while, unfortunately, it’s easy to gloss over this scripture. Or rather, it’s easier to just rush through and read it because it’s one of those scriptures that people quote a lot or one of the first ones people memorize. In this episode, I'll discuss why it's important to continue to put those familiar scriptures into practice.
We're hitting the books in this episode with "Before You Vote" by David Platt. What are seven essential questions Christians should ask before heading out to the polls?
Is referring to someone as God's candidate a safe statement? What policies are rooted in biblical truths, and which ones are rooted in preferences?
Hey! In this episode, we're "hitting the books!" Tune in for the first book review of the year, "Unoffendable," by Ryan Leak.
In short, how do we become less offended by what people say and do, and better yet, less offended by what they don’t say or do that we believe they should? The last part of the question has resonated with me the most.
I’d have to say that one of my favorite takeaways was the phrase "phantom discouragement." Phantom discouragement happens when you see someone else being complimented for something you consistently do. No one said anything negative to or about you, but they also didn’t acknowledge what you consistently do. Ryan says it better, “Phantom discouragement will put a negative spin and filter on everything positive around us that is not about us.”

Do you have a verse of the year? What do I mean by that? Do you have something that helps you get ready for your day but also something that helps you refocus throughout the day and year?
For more details, listen to today's podcast as I share my verse and talk about why a verse of the year is important.
Hey! Season 2 of the Daughters Diary Podcast is here, and I'm adding more content!
This year, I want to incorporate book reviews into the podcast. I'm excited about a few things:
- Encouraging people to read
- Having guests so that we can discuss books
- Being able to buy books and recommend them to you
So tune in to listen to the first episode for a series I like to call "Hitting the Books."
This month’s theme is about physical health. I knew I’d want to discuss physical health at some point, but I wasn’t in a hurry because the world puts so much emphasis on it. I wanted to make sure I’d shared the importance of spiritual health, mental and emotional, as well as healthy relationships before I jumped into this topic.
I’ve spent a year working to get back into shape. It’s a lifestyle decision, not just about wanting to see a number on the scale or look good. Those are bonuses. The past year has been work. This month, I want to share the tips that have helped me develop healthier choices along the way. It doesn’t just happen in a day, but making small healthy decisions daily can happen.
Tips:
1) Count those calories!
2) Be realistic about what you want to give up.
3) Take baby steps to permanent change.
4) Focus on healthiness.
5) Find what works best for you.

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this before, but M.E. Day is becoming a thing. What is M.E. Day? It’s mental and emotional health day.
Long story short, I flipped out preparing for the upcoming conference. I really didn’t realize how mentally and emotionally drained I was from preparing for the conference and ending the school year, along with, well, life in general.
So I’ve decided there needs to be M.E. Day. One dedicated day to intentionally assess how I’m feeling mentally and emotionally.
I had an awesome opportunity to interview a friend of mine, Eden. She dropped so many nuggets of wisdom that I had to split the episode in three.
Tune in for part one of our conversation. It was powerful and purposeful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Here are the final tips in audio for Purposeful Living. It's been a great month to focus on purpose and intentionality. My challenge to you is to do these little things. My next challenge is to be ok with your gradual pace. And next, celebrate the small victories. Today, you put tip 2 into action. Hooray! One day this week you positively affirmed yourself or maybe someone else. Kudos to you!
I talk about the acronym C.L.E.A.R. in this video. How important is it for us to make sure we're thinking about what we're thinking about? It's vital. This speech was for Middle to High School students in South Carolina.
This month we're focusing on Purposeful Living. Here are the first few tips I use.
Tip #1: Choose Joy
Find joy in everyday. One thing I’ve challenged myself to do everyday is find one thing to look forward to. This is a simple exercise and a huge game changer. It’s useful for a few reasons.
1) The feeling of hope creates joyful anticipation.
2) It promotes a more positive outlook on life.
3) It creates simplicity in life that we all need from time to time.
Tip #2: Create healthy habits
I have to say that creating healthy habits is another game changer. Healthy habits show that you value yourself. If I care enough about making healthy choices that’s because I value my life, and the lives of others hopefully.
Tip #3: Own It!
This is a tough tip. I’ll be honest, this is one I’ve struggled with. I struggle with owning it!
What I mean by this, is owning what I’m good at. Why is this hard? It’s hard because I don’t want to seem cocky or overly prideful. But truthfully, false humility is a really bad look too. There’s a way to be confident without being cocky. Pretending like I’m not good at something that God has gifted me at is not humility.
Secondly, I also don’t want to set myself up for failure by thinking I’m good at something that I’m really not. I really don’t want to be the American Idol contestant that’s confident she can sing and she really can’t.
I recapped the theme for the month of February. Healthy Relationships are important. Take a listen to the five tips for a healthy relationship.
This was a fun episode! Whitnee and I had a chance to discuss the book D.A.U.G.H.T.E.R.S. She shared some of her favorite moments in the book and its impact on her life. Tune in to hear what she had to say.
This month we focused on purposeful living. Tune in for a few tips! I'll share the first two:
Tip 1: Choose Joy
Tip 2: Create healthy habits
Choose Joy Challenge - the intentional effort to find at least one thing to look forward to in your next day.
In January we focused on goal-setting. The final tip of January was accountability, in which the focus was on having an accountability partner. So this month of February, our focus will be on healthy relationships.
Relationships come in many forms. You’ve got the family dynamic. Dating and marital relationships are one. You have friendships, and you also have work relationships, etc. Mainly, we’ll focus on friendships, but any form of relationship could benefit from these tools.
We really do thrive in community and I know we like to think we don’t need people, but we do. I truly believe relationships can be really good or really bad. They could even fall into one of the three categories: toxic, tolerable, or transcendent.
Toxic friendships hurt all parties involved. Tolerable friendships may help pass the time by, I think of them more like acquaintances, but are they truly groundbreaking? However, transcendent friendships are the ones that change lives. They’re the ones that bless you and all parties involved.
Decide today what type of friendships you want to have. And make sure the decision is a healthy one.
In this podcast I discuss the idea behind the book D.A.U.G.H.T.E.R.S. The original intent was for the book to be a keepsake from the conference "DAUGHTERS." Now we have the book and we're still waiting on the conference!
Whether you’re making resolutions for the new year or lifelong goals, having a blueprint for anything is always helpful. So for the month of January we considered “5 Tips for Goal-Setting.” There’s no one way or one size fits all formula to goal-setting. Simply put, do what works for you. On a personal note I pray over my goals. If they don’t have God’s blessing then I don’t see them as useful or necessary.
For me, these are the five things I consider when setting goals. Are my goals:
Intentional
Realistic
Healthy
Helpful
Accountable
On today's podcast we discussed goal-setting. I have a friend of mine, Kendra, who shared tips on goal-setting and what happens when some of those goals change into something bigger than we imagine.
Tune in to hear her talk about how her goals to become a lawyer changed. Now, her reality is better than her dreams.
