My precious sister, I’m setting 30 minutes aside to show up and invite the presence of the Lord to speak to us – through prayer, scripture, and whatever else He has in store for us. You are welcome – come for a refreshing!

A friend asked if I’d like to share during this 31-day journey through Proverbs 31 – I said YES! I’m sharing on Thursday, 12/4 (Proverbs 4) and Friday, 12/5 (Proverbs 5), but I look forward to unwrapping the gift of God’s Word each day of December 2025. We start with Proverbs 1 on Monday, December 1 – YAY!
You’re welcome to join me each morning on Zoom (beginning promptly at 7am ET/6am CT) as we gather to reflect, grow, and encourage one another as women of wisdom, strength, and virtue.
Plan to join 5 minutes early to get settled, then we’ll dig into the Word and move into prayer…just half an hour to get your day started!
NOTE: I am NOT an early-bird, so I KNOW it was the Lord gently nudging me to accept this assignment – LOL! I have a joyful expectancy of what He has in store as I build my consistency and discipline with time set apart in His Word.

hid = kryptō in Greek (G2928) = to keep secret; to conceal; escape notice
👉Have you ever tried to do God’s thing in your own way? 🫣I can tell ya that it does NOT work!😬
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
(Colossians 3:3)
The life hidden in Christ is the opposite of self-promotion. Selah.
May we intentionally choose to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the Shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1).
Safety, protection, peace, comfort, provision – everything we have need of is in His presence.
Blessings, Kayren
KJV: He must increase, but I must decrease.
AMP: He must increase [in prominence], but I must decrease.
AMPC: He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.]
MSG: This is the assigned moment for him to move into the center, while I slip off to the sidelines.
(John 3:30)

🤔Have you been oh-so-intently watching others do what God has called YOU to do in this season? Asking for a friend…👀
Nothing wrong with watching and imitating…Paul exhorts us in I Corinthians 11:1, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”
But watching without intent to take your own obedient action is just…wrong.
Why? Because delayed obedience = disobedience.
Let’s sit with that for a minute. Or two…
I was convicted. 🤯 I repented. 🙏🏽 I’m starting now. 😇
👉 Join me LIVE on YouTube in The Convo Lab for “Let’s Talk About Spiritual Voyeurism” at 6pm ET tonight (Thursday, 9/11/25) and pursue taking the next right step according to God’s Word.

“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
(Philippians 4:9, KJV)
“Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.”
(Philippians 4:9, AMPC)

Have you become unrecognizable as a new creature in Christ?🦋
You know how the smartphone lockscreen has the facial recognition feature?
Well, mine recently said, “Face doesn’t match” – like who else is gonna be logging into my phone but me? 👀😬😘😵💫 (don’t get me started on hackers…#Rude&Inconsiderate😡)
But it reminded me how we’re new creatures in Christ – old things are passed away.
So maybe that face shouldn’t match anymore after all…#NewIdentity
Blessings as we learn who we REALLY are in Christ,
Kayren
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
(II Corinthians 5:17)

It ain’t that deep…or IS it?
Dealing with stuff beneath the surface requires a different level than handling superficial stuff.
Sometimes surface just won’t cut it. ✂️
Are we willing to go deeper with God?
He stands ready to guide us…
Blessings, Kayren
“He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
(Daniel 2:22)
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
(I Corinthians 2:10)

We can’t afford to drive an entire trip while looking in the rear-view mirror. At what point do we choose to focus on what’s ahead? (hint: NOW is a good time!)
In terms of obedience:
My “yes” to God is still required today – even if (& especially when) I said “yes” yesterday.
When I rest on yesterday’s yes, I am deliberately choosing to stunt my own growth.
Why?
Because before I know it, I’m facing compromise, complacency, or comfort – and all of these can slow the progress of growth and maturity.
Today’s yes unlocks my next blessing – because it lays a part of the foundation I’ll need in place if I’m building something that lasts, stands the test of time, and holds up in the midst of a storm.
Blessings as we choose to continue building wisely, Kayren
“24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”
(Matthew 7:24-29)

The tempering. Pulverization. Incessant pressure. Repetitive knocks. All leading to and culminating in ultimate restoration.
I hadn’t thought about the challenges of my current season as being part of leadership training. Until now.
But it all makes sense.
The greatest among us must serve.
And a true servant leader has a tender heart after experiencing what they walk others through – because they’re already familiar with the path.
They know the sting of rejection. The frustration of being misunderstood. The loneliness of isolation. The two-sided coin of forgiveness and redemption.
And they don’t despise any part of the lesson, because they understand that it’s all part of the process of being made.
May we continue to endure each lesson until we become leaders who accurately reflect the image of our primary example of selfless servant leadership – Jesus Christ.
In progress & in process, Kayren
“24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.”
(Luke 22:24-27)

It’s not what you think…
terrible (H3372) – yârêʼ, yaw-ray’; a primitive root; to fear; morally to revere; causatively to frighten:—affright, be (make) afraid, dread(-ful), (put in) fear(-ful, -fully, -ing), (be had in) reverence(-end), × see, terrible (act, -ness, thing).
👉🏽Can God do an awesome thing with you?
Where everyone who sees will acknowledge His mighty power and reverence His unparalleled holiness?
If your answer is yes, we prepare by surrendering in prayer, praise, and worship.
Let’s gooooo…all for HIS glory!
Blessings, Kayren
“And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.”
(Exodus 34:10)

I feel like that episode of Tom & Jerry where Tom was so tired he needed toothpicks to hold his eyelids open. Can you relate?
I worked late on incorporating feedback into an ongoing project while inwardly shaking my head. And yet, I persevere and continue.
Not because I want to.
But it’s for whomever I’m enduring this lesson for.
And because someone is watching my walk.
Someone including my young adult children.
Because life ain’t a bowl of cherries.
But God remains faithful and dependable. I can rest in this. And so can you, my friend.
Be encouraged, Kayren
“It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.”
