Helping Women Delight in God’s Word

👋 Hey friend,

What do you do when you're facing a big decision? If you're like me, you probably ask around, do a little research… and pray. 🙏 But honestly, trying to hear God’s voice can feel confusing. Where do you start? How do you know it’s really Him?

Ashley’s been walking through this exact thing lately—especially as she and Johnny decided to move to Puerto Rico (she just shared an update about it on our channel 🎥).

Here are a few simple things that helped her tune into God’s leading:

1. Set aside some time to fast and pray. 🤲​
   Spend the time you would have spent preparing and eating food with the Lord instead. Every time your tummy growls, pray, God, I need you more than I need food. Please guide me in this situation.
2. Meditate on Scripture. 📖
   ​Write down verses about trusting God/making decisions, and put them where you'll see them throughout the day.
3. Walk through the doors God opens―even if they're small. 🚪​
   Maybe God knows it's not time to make the major decision, and He's you to a small one instead. Say yes to that phone call, that tour, that meeting, and see what He does.

If you're in a season of decision or just want to grow in hearing God's voice, we've created a resource to help guide you 💗

It’s a simple, daily practice to help you open your Bible, reflect, and notice how God is already leading you.

Each day includes:

• A short Scripture passage
• 3 insights to write down
• 1 reflection question
• A prayer prompt
• Cross-references to connect God’s Word

Think of it as a gentle guide to help you slow down, listen well, and take the next faithful step toward your purpose. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️

If that sounds like something you need, we’d love for you to check it out!

With you on the journey,

Ashley, Taylor and Mentor Mama (Ellen) Coffee and Bible Time Team ​​​​​

P.S. You can grab the journal (linked here!) and start anytime—it’s undated, so it fits into your schedule. No pressure, just a gentle guide to help you hear God more clearly.

Community News:

The first step of Bible study is often the easiest to skip—s l o w i n g down and using your imagination to enter the passage.

Our challenge this week is to read John 6:1-15 and take time to notice what it would have been like to be there with the crowd and the disciples. What would you have felt, heard, tasted, smelled, and thought?

Join us tonight as we discuss in the Coffee and Bible Time Community—we would love to hear your thoughts!
