The 2019 Quiet Time Challenge

Honesty hour! I am now almost three months into being a mom to two babes, and I have a confession to make: my quiet times have been slipping.

I sat down at my now-inconsistent morning reading perch on Friday and was disappointed to see that the most recent date in my prayer journal was ten days earlier. I decided right then and there that I need to step up to the plate and, to get into a regular reading habit again, I need accountability.

And then I figured if I was struggling to fit in my quiet time, you might be too. (Please tell me I’m not alone! 🙋🏽‍♀️) So I thought, “Why not do it together?” And since March is only days away, it’s the perfect time to start a new 30-Day Quiet Time Challenge! (Well, in this case, it would be 31 days to cover the entire month of March.)

Are you up for the challenge? If so, I’d love to have you join me! And the best part? I have a brand new copy of Search the Scriptures (my most favorite quiet time resource ever) sitting on my desk that will go to one of you who accept and complete the challenge with me! 🙌🏾🎉

Are you brand new to the 30-Day Quiet Time Challenge? Great! I have a daily devotional that’s all written out for you and ready to go starting on Thursday. (Click here for more information!)

Have you already done the Quiet Time Challenge before, but still want to participate? The more, the merrier! Click here to accept the challenge and receive some accountability emails throughout the month to make sure you’re still on track!

I can’t wait to get back into a regular Bible-reading habit with you! See you on Thursday!

When sharing our story, I’m incredibly cautious to not promise something to women that God has not specifically promised them Himself. (After losing my best friend to cancer, I’m very well aware of the stories in which God chooses not to perform the miracle inside of your body.)

So I was really unsure of what part of our story to lean into last weekend as I prepared to speak at @hannah.g.barnett. When I asked, I felt God keep saying “I’ll tell you when you get there.” Okay, God. That’s kind of a lot.

And then I met a woman inside the museum of Elvis Presley’s birthplace. And God reminded me again that, whether or not He chooses to perform that miracle inside of your body, just believing He CAN do the impossible is enough.

I didn’t intend to, but I just sort of took the entire month of January off of social media and it has ended up being the very best way to kick off this year with a chance to rest and breathe and hide from the world for a minute.

I’m also a little bit gobsmacked because I only realized in the last week that this month marks the 10-year anniversary of the first answer to our big, 10-year-long prayer.

That feels big. Really big. I don’t quite know how we got here so fast, and I don’t quite have any words for any of it. But I do know that I want to spend this entire month spotlighting that, honoring it, and piling the glory back onto God because it feels like I’ve only barely scratched the surface.

I spent the weekend with some incredible women this weekend who are all very well-acquainted with the kind of waiting sorrow I was so familiar with. I started the introduction of my first message yesterday morning with this truth and this point alone could have ended the entire conference. 😭

So, to the woman whose womb is painfully empty: I see you. I know you. I was you. Come to Jesus and drink. He will fill that emptiness in more ways than you can possibly imagine… if you let Him.
