Are You Living the Purpose God Has Called You To?

Have you ever asked, "Am I truly living out the purpose God has called me to?" As Christian women, we desire to align our lives with God’s will, yet the busyness of life, personal doubts, and unclear direction can often make us feel like we are falling short. Is your life filled with peace and fulfillment, or does it sometimes feel more like an endless to-do list, leaving you spiritually drained?

If you feel disconnected from your purpose or are questioning how to live in alignment with God's plan, you are not alone. Many Christian women wrestle with this same uncertainty. But here's the truth—God has designed each of us with a unique purpose, and the path to that purpose begins with clarity and spiritual alignment.

Why Purpose Matters

As Proverbs 19:21 (KJV) tells us, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand." This scripture reminds us that though we may have many plans and...

As Christian women, we know that our physical health and relationships are two vital areas that deeply impact our overall well-being. The Bible reminds us of the importance of stewarding both our bodies and our relationships, and when we align these areas with God's truth, we thrive.

Your Body is God’s Temple

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) tells us: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
This verse is a beautiful reminder that we must honor God by caring for the bodies He has entrusted to us. When we prioritize our health, we are not only better equipped to serve the Lord, but we also have the energy and vitality to nurture the relationships in our lives.

Taking care of our health is a form of worship. Eating nutritious foods, exercising, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can be act...

Special seasons during the year provide me with a feeling of gratitude. At those moments, I take time to reflect on my blessings. Most of my blessings are a result of the support I get from loved ones.

My connection with my family and friends deepens during special times each year. When I am prompted to reflect on the good times in my life, I immediately reach out to them. Family gatherings, gift-giving, singing Christmas carols, and special meals are also inseparable parts of Christmas. 

I use each opportunity I get to tell my family how important they are. It is easy for me to pinpoint their influence in my life.

When I am at odds with a friend, special seasons allow us to rekindle our relationship. I use those times to consider the role we play in each other's lives. I acknowledge that a season of caring and love is the best time to offer and receive forgiveness.

Houses aglow, parties with friends, and memories made with family—Christmas truly is the most wonderful t...

Career Confidence & God-Ordained Influence

Whether you work in ministry, the marketplace, education, healthcare, media, or at home — your career is not a coincidence. It is a mission field. God has placed you where you are for such a time as this.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;" — Colossians 3:23

When you show up at your job, your business, or your home office, do so with Kingdom confidence. The enemy often attacks women with lies like:

• “You’re not qualified.”
• “You’re just faking it.”
• “You should have it all figured out by now.”

These are the voices of imposter syndrome. The truth? You are called, equipped, and positioned by God Himself.

Building Career Confidence:

Discover your strengths. Utilize tools such as the DISC personality assessment and the Equipping Profile, which are designed to help you gain deeper insights into how God has uniquely equipped you for leadership. These assessments can reveal your natural ten...

The Christmas holiday season is supposed to be a wonderful time for you and your family. But, sometimes, the stresses leading up to the holidays make it seem like quite the opposite. Remember that there are ways to enjoy yourself and survive the holiday crunch even in poor economic times.

Saving Money

Chances are you will be spending money during this holiday season. Through careful planning, you can make a small budget go quite a long way.

Consider the following holiday money-saving suggestions:

1. Conserve Throughout the Year. Most women let the holidays creep up on them. Suddenly, they realize it is only weeks before the holidays, and they need to start preparing. You cannot pull money out of nowhere, and you should resist the urge to put all of your purchases on credit. If you have done this in the past, you know first hand that you may still be paying for last year's gift charges for years!

* Try automatically withdrawing a small sum of money from every paycheck that g...

Tiffany Marie Olson was a beautiful young lady from Manatee County. She enjoyed the ocean. And, like all of us at Farmhouse Animal and Nature Sanctuary, Tiffany also loved all animals. She cherished her dog Simba. Simba had been found injured on the side of the road as a puppy and had surgery to mend injuries to her hindquarters. Tiffany adopted and rehabilitated her. Tiffany was also very close to her mother Christine. They enjoyed taking day trips together.
 

Staying joyful is vital to me. Busy holidays can add to stress, but stress leaves me like water off a duck's back. My life is overflowing with positivity and happiness. I remain joyful no matter what the holiday brings me. Each holiday is a distinctive occasion to do something that brings me more joy.

As holidays near, I find ways to stay calm. I let my peace radiate out to others. They see the peace I have, and they feel better about their holidays. I help a lot of people just by staying happy and positive during stressful holiday times. I know the holidays are what I make of them. I choose to make them joyful and fun.

I turn the stress of my life into positivity by concentrating on solutions. Holidays are wonderful times to appreciate family and friends. I take pleasure in finding the beauty of the holidays. I see that beauty and concentrate on it to help keep my stress levels down. Low stress equals high joy.

I live in joy this holiday season by walking in peace and love...

God is raising up women in business who are not just profit-focused, but purpose-driven. As a Christian woman entrepreneur, coach, speaker, author, or leader, your work is not just a profession, it is a sacred calling. Whether you are managing a growing brand, launching a side business, mentoring others, or exploring new ventures, remember — your business is part of your divine assignment, a manifestation of God's purpose in your life.

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might..." — Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)

This verse calls us to excellence, not perfection. Excellence is doing the best you can with what you have, while perfection is an unattainable standard. It invites us to bring our whole heart, energy, and focus to the work God has entrusted to us. Business success from a biblical perspective is not measured by worldly standards — it is measured by obedience, faithfulness, and fruitfulness.

Building a Kingdom-Focused Business:

1. **Begin Each Day...

Every woman has areas of life where there is a lack of organization. Whether at home or the office, we misplace things and cannot find items when we need them because we are not orderly.

What happens when systems are not put into place?  What if an organizing system is not established? Well things get lost, chaos ensues, and you lose time looking for stuff! I have multiple businesses and do animal rescue. My schedule is nuts.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to stay organized! Here are hacks for you that I use to keep myself and my businesses as organized as possible and I promise will save you time (and maybe a little sanity!) 

Being organized is a great help with time management. Declutter both home and office before attempting to tackle keeping organized and managing time better.

     1. Forget complicated systems.

Any systems you use for organizing that take a lot of time to keep up with are wastes of time. Remember, an organizational system improves your...

Faith and Food: 

As Christian women, we are called to honor God in every area of life — including how we care for our bodies. While diet is a personal decision, more research is showing that a plant-focused lifestyle brings not only physical health benefits, but also aligns with Biblical principles of stewardship, simplicity, and care for creation.

Let us explore what science says — and what Scripture affirms — about choosing foods that nourish body, soul, and spirit.

🌿 The Growing Case for a Plant-Based Diet

According to nutritionists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), most Americans fall short in eating enough fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.

“Most Americans don’t eat enough fruit, vegetables, legumes or whole grains. There’s a huge consensus that eating more of these foods would be a good idea for everyone.” — Dr. Susan Krebs-Smith, NIH nutritionist

Research now links vegetarian and mostly plant-based diets to a lower risk of heart disease, diabet...
