As precious as they are, pearls don’t come easy. They take years to develop, and they start with a tiny grain of sand—an irritant. Something that doesn’t belong. Something painful and unwanted. Something you wouldn’t wish on anyone. Yet, over time, that grain of sand is transformed into something new. Something beautiful and priceless. Something you wouldn’t trade for anything. The “Pearls of Wisdom” in this book were born out of pain and hurt, both physical and emotional. Yet God took that pain and breathed purpose into it. Perhaps you’re wondering...

Life can be messy. Life can be difficult. Life can be painful. It's part of being human. Experiencing the struggles in life, in a way, reminds us we are alive. Yet through these struggles and often times pain, we can find beauty once again. For God is able to take our deepest disappointment and use it for His greatest good. The "Pearls of Wisdom" in this book were born out of pain and hurt, both physical and emotional. There were questions, doubts, and many tears. There was also restoration, healing, and a new understanding of God's grace. Whether you are currently enduring...

At a time of year where we feel we "should " feel joyful, the extra stress and responsibilities of the holidays, loss of loved ones and more, can cause this to be a real struggle. Add to this the challenges we've faced in the last 2 years with COVID-19, and joy can be hard to find. At the BCC Women's Christmas Brunch, Ammie shared her own experiences in a way that allowed many to relate to her journey. She reminded us where our true joy comes from. Ammie provided encouragement and reminders from scripture that allowed the ladies attending to leave the event feeling lighter and...

For years I struggled with prayer. Prayer was more of something that stood between me and that first bite of macaroni and cheese or something that would ward off any monsters in my closet. It was something that would protect me in the night in case I died suddenly, never waking up again. It was less about having a conversation with God and more about a checklist. “Yes, Mom, I said my prayers.” But at 51 years old, I found the hidden door. Maybe like me, you’ve had misconceptions your whole life about prayer. Perhaps you’ve always wanted a more intimate, active prayer life...

Are you traveling a road of confusion? Are you playing on repeat every wrong choice you have ever made and living in the past? If you no longer recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror, then there’s a reason you are reading about this book. Somewhere, you stopped believing that you are created in God’s image. You stopped believing that you are forgiven. You stopped believing in the unlimited grace that is offered to you by simply surrendering your life. Somewhere you stepped away from the plan and purpose God has for you, and you stopped believing His Truth. In this...

How many times have you started a sentence, “I’m afraid…?” You can end that sentence with anything – “there won’t be enough money,” “that I’m going to get sick,” “of what’s happening,” “that he/she doesn’t love me anymore,” “that I’ll never measure up.” Those words “I’m afraid” sneak their way into our conversations, and before we know it, fear becomes a part of our life. It dictates our decisions, stops us from fully believing who we are in Christ, and derails...

Family. It’s where we learn about relationships, communication, boundaries, and love. It is our first look into our identity and who we are, and who we’ll grow to be. This delicate, living inception from God knows no demographic boundary, blood type, or specific gene. It can consist of any combination of parents and children, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and even close friends. Deep Roots is designed to set aside time once a week to intentionally meet, read together, and discuss God’s truth as a family. My prayer is that you will grow stronger, not only as a family...
