Shepherds didn’t pour oil on sheep for ceremony. They did it because sheep were vulnerable—easily wounded, irritated, and attacked by things they couldn’t see. Oil was daily care: healing, soothing, and forming a barrier against what sought to harm them.

Sheep never applied the oil themselves. They didn’t earn it or ask for it. The shepherd knew the need. The oil wasn’t a reward for being good…
It was protection.
So when David said, “You anoint my head with oil,” he wasn’t being poetic. He was describing God’s intentional care over the most vulnerable parts of our lives. His healing, His protection, His presence.

In Christ this picture becomes so impactful. The Shepherd doesn’t just visit us, He dwells within us. What oil did on the outside, the Holy Spirit does continually on the inside. He guards our minds, heals our wounds, and keeps shame, fear, and accusation from taking root.
Oil never made sheep perfect. It made them protected. They still wandered, still stumbled, still needed guidance—but they were covered. So are we.
The enemy thrives in dry places, but in Christ your life is not dry ground. You are tended ground cared for, watched over, loved. You are not alone or forgotten.
Your Shepherd still anoints your head with oil. And in Christ Jesus that oil never runs out. 🙏❤️‍🩹🙏

I’m praying that you don’t just sense peace around you—like a warm embrace or a gentle weight that steadies you—but that this peace finds its way all the way into your soul.
Right now, this is your deepest need, and Jesus, your Prince of Peace, leans toward you with longing. He wants to pour Himself into every place that feels hollow or aching. His abundance and your emptiness were always meant to meet; they fit together in a way only He can make whole.

You were never created to carry life by your own strength. You were shaped as a jar of clay—fragile, yes, but set apart for sacred filling. And He desires to fill you with His very presence until His peace saturates you, quietly and completely.

Thank Him for being near, even when your feelings can’t find Him. Whisper His name with whatever breath you have. His tenderness is already holding you, and the peace that lives continually in your spirit will, in time, rise and move through you—softly, steadily—like light returning after a long night.

In a world rushing to fix, holding space for someone can be a powerful ministry.

It’s strange, isn’t it?
How something so small could carry a victory so vast. How soft, newborn limbs, barely strong enough to reach for His mother, would one day stretch wide enough to embrace the weight of all our sorrow.
How tiny fingers that once wrapped around Mary’s thumb would one day bear nails to set the captives free.
How the baby cries in Bethlehem,
and how those same lungs would cry out again—“It is finished.”

Those little arms, flailing in the manger straw,
helpless in appearance, yet holy in assignment,
would one day grapple with the monster, Death.
The shadow that hovers over hospitals.
The ache that swells in empty rooms.
The silence that echoes after the last goodbye.
That Death.
And He didn’t just fight it.
He crushed it.

Some days it doesn’t feel like death has been defeated.
the grief is louder than the carols.
I miss them.
I question how light could come from something this dark.
But then, I remember that even the Savior started in a dark womb.
That glory came wrapped not in golden robes, but in swaddling cloths.
That victory was born crying, in the cold of night, not in a throne room, but in a stable.
Not surrounded by the powerful, but by the poor.
Not with royal declarations, but angelic cries to shepherds in fields.

And maybe this pain,
maybe this, too, is where resurrection begins.
Maybe even this grief is sacred ground.
Because He came here.
To where it hurts.
To where it breaks.
To where death dares to grin and say, “I’ve won.”
But the manger says otherwise.
The cross shouts it louder.
And the empty tomb settles it forever.

So, even in the midst of tears,
I will dare to believe that those little arms still hold me.
That they still fight for me.
That death, though it stings, no longer reigns.
Because the child who once reached for Mary
now reaches through eternity,
to wipe away every tear,
to promise me that grief won’t get the final word,
and to remind me that the arms that once lay still in a feeding trough
have already crushed the grave.

And they are coming again.
To carry me home.

May this be a gentle Christmas, for each of you♥️🎄🙌 Sarah Trent

Thank You for this Advent season—
this holy stretch of days when You bend low from glory,
cup our faces in Your gentle hands,
and lift our gaze back to Your light.

You whisper love to us again and again,
steady and unwavering,
even when we feel unworthy or undone.
You remind us that nothing in us scares You away,
and nothing in us stops Your love from reaching us.

Teach us to open our hands, our hearts,
and every hidden corner of our lives
to Your grace and Your mercy.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace,
Would you remind this weary soul-
Would you invite this this weary soul-
To come and adore you?

To lay it all down-
Not. just the presents under the tree,
But the weight of all I carry.
Strip away the burdens and expectations
I laden myself with,
And let me be expectant of you.
Of your arrival.
HER MUSTARD FAITH

The waiting is so hard when you don’t see the miracle for years! Are you praying for healing in your body, marriage, your grieving heart or your prodigal to return? We serve a God that answers. I urge you to keep asking and believing. Don’t give up! Don’t lose HOPE! I’ve seen mountains move! If he can do it for me, he can do it for you! It’s not easy and sometimes we have to encourage ourselves but you’re never alone. If you need someone to pray for you or with you please reach out. You are seen and you are loved! 🙏💙 Mark 11:24
The Amplified Bible expanded—♥️

“For this reason I am telling you” — Jesus is emphasizing a principle of faith following His teaching about speaking to the mountain (Mark 11:23).
“Whatever things you ask for in prayer” — This covers all requests, but the AMP clarifies ”[in accordance with God’s will]” to align prayer with divine purposes.
“Believe [with confident trust]” —Faith isn’t passive; it’s active confidence in God’s response.
“That you have received them” —The tense is important—faith acts as though the prayer is already answered.
“And they will be given to you” —Assurance that God fulfills His promises when prayer is rooted in faith and His will.

Are you in a dark and lonely season in your marriage?
Sweet friend,
I used to believe the only things that could truly break a marriage were the big, obvious wounds: infidelity, betrayal, neglect or abuse. And I know how deeply those hurt—
But what surprised me most was how quietly a marriage can begin to unravel… through the small, everyday places where we let love slip, almost without noticing.
#1. Wearing exhaustion like a shield
I kept telling myself (and him), “I’m just so tired.”
But underneath the tiredness was something heavier: resentment I hadn’t forgiven, frustration I kept rehearsing, little hurts I nursed instead of releasing.
I stopped serving him with joy. My words grew sharp. Every new disappointment became another brick in the wall I was building between us—one I didn’t even realize I was laying.
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger… Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31–32)
#2. Waiting for him to humble himself first
Deep down I knew what love would do—but pride whispered, “He should go first. He’s the one who…………….”
So I stayed guarded, waiting to be pursued, waiting to feel safe before I risked softening.
But a heart that’s waiting to be loved first often ends up the loneliest heart of all.
“Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Matthew 23:12)
#3. Choosing silence instead of surrender
Eventually I stopped fighting… but I also stopped praying for him or reaching for him.
We both filled the emptiness with work and busyness, and the quiet grew comfortable, and the distance felt normal.
Silence didn’t protect my heart—it slowly closed it.
“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)
If you’re reading this and your marriage feels like it’s hanging by a thread—if you’re bone-tired and wondering whether it’s even worth trying again or fighting for, please hear this whispered gently:
Your husband may have his own places he needs to grow (and God sees those too), but the most powerful thing you can do right now is let the Holy Spirit tend to your own heart first.
Not so you can “fix” everything.
Not so you can perform perfectly.
But because the softest, most courageous act of love is to let Jesus heal the hurting places inside you, and then let that healed places overflow toward your husband.
Bitterness doesn’t have to have the final word.
Pride doesn’t have to win. Silence doesn’t have to be permanent.
You are not stuck.
There is grace—fresh every morning—for repentance, for forgiveness, for tiny, brave steps back toward each other.
And the same God who raised Jesus from the dead is able to breathe new life into your marriage, one surrendered heartbeat at a time. You are so deeply loved, and your marriage is worth fighting for—not from your own depleted strength, but from His endless supply.
I’m praying for you,
and I believe with you for beauty to rise from these ashes. 🤍

Find friends and a partner who encourage you closer to Christ, not closer to compromise.

“What’s one way your partner helps you grow closer to God?”

11/23/2025

Choose your circle wisely.
The right people don’t try to fix you—they see the masterpiece God already made.
“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)
They rejoice when you rise, remember the little things, honor your “no,” and leave you fuller than they found you. With them you can breathe—no masks, no shrinking, no performing. You feel safe, seen, and free to become all He created you to be.
I spent years accepting crumbs and calling it love. It wasn’t. We don’t owe explanations to those who only want to debate my worth.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Protect your heart, guard your peace, and trust that the right people—the ones who feel like home—will always find you when you stop settling for less.

God was with you in every moment of this year.
Even in the hard parts.
Even in the moments we wish we could forget.
Even when we felt alone or uncertain or overwhelmed.
He was there.
