☕ That Time God Used a Fly to Get My Attention


Helping Women Delight in God’s Word

👋 Hey friend,

Have you ever been so caught up in your emotions that you didn’t realize how out of control you were… until God sent a fly into your mouth?

Just me? 😐

In this week’s Coffee and Bible Time podcast episode, I share a hilarious (and humbling) story about how God used two bugs—and one heated conversation—to highlight a deep biblical truth:

James 1:19 – “Be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

We talk about 💬

  • Why our knee-jerk anger usually covers up something deeper
  • How to slow down before words fly (😏) out that we’ll regret
  • Why James 1:19 is a game-changer in relationships
  • And yes… how God sometimes uses bugs to get our attention 🪰

🎧 Listen for a good laugh and a whole lot of wisdom:

We’d love to hear how God speaks to you through this one—and feel free to forward it to a friend who needs a word of encouragement today!

With love (and a tightly closed mouth),
Taylor + Ellen ☕
