How successful have you been at making things happen in your life? You worked hard, you sacrificed, and you built something. Something to be proud of. You started with so little and with all your hard work, it grew to become so much more. That’s a great thing. I’m so happy for your success. You’ve climbed the ladder, earned the position, accumulated much. You’ve set the goals and achieved the goals. Your life today resembles the 5 year plan you had. You worked … it worked. Hot...

Have you ever wanted to help, but didn’t know how to help. You didn’t know what to say. You didn’t know what to do. Everything you had to offer seemed so totally inadequate. I bet there’s someone you really wish you could help right now. Someone is hurting, but you don’t know how to heal that hurt. Someone is struggling, but you don’t know how to fix it. But my sister, there’s one thing you have the power to do that can absolutely, undeniably, radically change everything for them. YOU...

I assure you, God wastes nothing. While he may not have personally designed all of your delays and detours, he can certainly work in them. While the hardships you face don’t always come from Heaven’s plans, they have passed through Heaven and have been deemed of value on your journey. Have you ever had plans, and those plans totally unravel? Have you ever been going somewhere and the journey to your somewhere gone completely sideways? How do you handle that? Seriously, what is your...

This morning, you and I woke up to an abundance of miracles. All that is good and right and working far outweighs that which is not good, not right and not working. However, it’s quite natural for us to focus on that one achy part of our body that doesn’t feel good while there are thousands of other joints, bones, muscles and nerves that feel so perfect we don’t even notice them. What is currently so perfect in our lives that we don’t even notice it? And when we don’t notice it, we...

Yesterday we began the conversation of being faithful in little things so that we can be trusted with more. God is looking for faithful girls. Faithful girls who will be consistent with their commitment. Faithful girls who will show up every day and do what they said they would do. Have you accepted the challenge for 75 Faithful by choosing 1 little thing to be faithful with every single day for the final 75 days of 2024? What is your “little” thing? Remember, all big things first...

You’ve heard of 75 Hard, right? A 75 day commitment to do a series of hard things daily. Traditionally, that list of hard things includes 2 workouts daily (one outside), eating a healthy meal plan, drinking a gallon of water, reading 10 pages, and taking a daily progress photo. Every day for 75 days. No cheats. No misses. It’s hard. A lot of people fail. That’s why it’s called 75 hard. God sometimes calls us to do hard things in certain seasons of our lives. But regardless of your...

How do you receive a gift? What is your response to a wrapped box before you even know what’s inside? Today is my birthday and I am one proud woman to be 49. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by that number. I’m ALIVE! Do you have any idea what God had to bring me through to get me to today? It’s an absolute miracle I’m alive … and that’s the absolute truth for every single one of us. I don’t hate growing older, this is what I prayed for! My wrinkles and gray hair are an answered...

God offers his grace as a gift, but what is that gift to you? Let’s open our Bibles today for an unscripted study together to dig deeper into the gift of grace so we know how to use all God has given us. 2 Timothy 2:12 Corinthians 12:9Mark 9:23 Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamelaOr Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crimFind out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

Mark 2: 1-12, “When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of...

Fear has whispered a story to you that maybe you have believed. When you believe things never work out for you, when you believe this too will all fall apart, when you believe you will never be good enough, you have no other option but to operate from that belief. You present yourself to the world as a person operating from their beliefs. If you walk into a job interview believing you would never be good enough for the job, that’s what they will see … a person not good enough for the...

Right now, today, in this exact stage and season of your life, God is preparing you for what is next. He is using all that is to make what currently is not. That which currently is not working, that which currently is not good, that which currently is not okay, is being used by the Almighty to become something greater for your future. Nothing is wasted in God’s mighty and capable hands. The heat refines you. The pull back propels you. The chiseling away sets you free. The resistance...

Let me clue you in to my process of hearing from God each morning to bring you a new devotional. First, I work on a very tight timeline. I have one hour from the time I sit down to write until I go live. I find this restricted amount of time gets my squirrel chasing mind to depend fully on God and focus on his promptings. A time constraint gets me out of the way so God can do his work. I only begin writing after I have prayed. My prayer is always the same, “Lord, you know who will be...

There are two steadfast, unchanging, forever true statements that apply to every single day of your life. If you get these truths down deep in your soul and operate from them, you will struggle less and find joy more. Ready? * God is always good.* The devil is always a liar. Always. Without fail. God’s goodness surrounds you and the devil’s lies bombard you. God’s goodness goes before you and the devil’s lies chase you. And here’s the thing … neither of those will ever...

God wants to use you. Oh yes, he does … he has found a way to use you for his good works and, girl, he’s been trying to get you to see what he’s doing here. What he’s doing is taking the very thing you struggled with in your past to be used for good in the future. What … you think you can’t be used? You think you’re insignificant with nothing to offer? You think you’ve been disqualified from goodness? You’re wrong. One very wise preacher once said, “There is no reason why if...

Have you ever wondered why God, in all his power and majesty, made the world the way he did? Why would he create the Earth to be a round ball, then why would he make it spin? Why would he position the sun to create light and darkness, day and night? God designed our world to go through light and darkness on a daily basis, when he could have just as easily made it bright and sunny every day, all day. But God, in all of his wisdom and authority wanted day and night. He wanted bright...

Have you ever rushed into something before you prayed about it? Yeah, me too. Have you ever worked yourself silly trying to do something and never took the time to pray about it? Me too! Have you ever not prayed about it because you’re sure God’s already doing his thing and it’s taken care of better than you could even ask for anyway? Oh my gosh, it’s like we’re sisters … I totally do that too! Get this, the majority of the time I don’t pray about things because of my...

We’re all looking for that ticket to happiness. What is it we are missing and how can we get it so we are always happy? Our Creator designed us to find the sweet secret of happiness within only in HIM. Scripture refers to this inner happiness as contentment. The Hebrew word was autarkeia and it meant a mind set on the secret of happiness completely independent of all outward things. Meaning nothing outside of you can make you truly happy, it’s all about what’s in you. And my sister,...

I’ve always dreamed of hosting a Poppy and Franny Camp for our future grandkids. (My husband is Poppy and I am Franny and yes, we have arrived to the greatest destination in life … grandparents!!!). Poppy and Franny Camp is a special time at our house where we play and intentionally make all the memories. The future has arrived and we hosted the long awaited Poppy and Franny Camp in July for our first grandson, Maverick. To our delight, camp has gotten extended and we have even more time with...

Have you ever had one of those days where you worried about all there was to worry about? One of those days where you thought about all that was wrong and could go wrong? One of those days where you dwelt on the struggle, wallowed in the hardship, consumed by the negativity? You know, one of those days … have you ever had one? WELL LET ME ASSURE YOU OF ONE THING … TODAY WAS NOT GIVEN TO YOU TO MAKE IT ONE OF THOSE DAYS! The purpose of this day of your life isn’t to worry. God’s...

What has been taken from you? What dream did you have that was taken before it was fulfilled? What opportunity were you living in, then it was gone? What direction were you going, then it was blocked? What good thing did you have going, then everything changed? I was fired from a job once. Actually, that’s not true. I’ve been fired twice. Two times I’ve been pushed out of a job and forced to end my secure employment. That makes me sound like a bad person, but neither were a case of...

Mark 6: 1-13 “Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near.5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 5000 MEN + WOMEN & CHILDREN = 20,000VIDEO OF...

Mark 5:28-30, “For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition. Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?” Jesus KNEW healing power had gone out from him. He knew someone’s reach of faith had activated his power. And he personally knows every time we...

Did you know that water baptism as Jesus instructed is a very visual representation of what happens when we accept him as our Savior? Who we once were is to be washed away, and we are to rise up with Jesus in living a new life. Have you been rising up from how you used to live, or have you been struggling with some of those old thought patterns and routines? A new person has no business wallowing in their old ways. Christ changes us from the inside out, therefore our lives simply can’t...

Without the power of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives, we are constantly doing the things we know we shouldn’t do and living in a perpetual cycle of screw up and beat up. The power of our flesh is strong. We want what we want, and the flesh won’t stop nagging at you until you give it what it wants. This is how we become slaves to our own ways. We’re not free to make better decisions, our old ways drag us back to old prisons where we’re chained doing the things we said we never wanted to...

Why is it you assume God could never use you? Why do you dismiss yourself from a greater calling on your life? Is it because you’ve never felt really good at anything? Is it because you are just a nobody? Is it because you’ve failed before, and you really wouldn’t want to fail God? Did you know the single most read author in the world likely felt exactly like you? The human who has likely had the greatest impact for Christ could have never imagined being used to tell the world about...
