Why We Need One Another: Lessons in Friendship and Fellowship

We Are Better Together 🤍

Life was never meant to be walked alone. From the very beginning, God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone.” (Genesis 2:18 KJV). And while that verse is often used in the context of marriage, the truth goes even deeper: we were designed for relationship - with God, and with one another.

In a world that pushes independence and self-sufficiency, the Bible reminds us of the power of fellowship and godly friendship.

1. Two Are Better Than One

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says:

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.” (KJV)

Friendship is God’s design. When we walk together, we share the load, celebrate the victories, and help each other up when life gets heavy. One person alone may grow weary - but two, or three, or a whole community, can keep moving forward.

2. Friendship is More Than Coffee Dates

True biblical friendship goes deeper than surface-level conversation. It’s more than shopping trips, coffee dates, or swapping funny memes. Godly friendship looks like:

• Praying for one another.

• Encouraging one another in truth.

• Holding each other accountable.

• Rejoicing together in God’s blessings.

• Weeping together in times of loss.

Romans 12:15 says, “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.” Real fellowship enters into each other’s seasons - the good and the hard.

3. We Were Built for Fellowship

The early church understood this. Acts 2:42 tells us they “continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.”

Fellowship wasn’t optional. It was part of their faith. They gathered often, shared meals, prayed, and encouraged one another. This rhythm of togetherness strengthened them for the challenges they faced.

And we need that today more than ever. When isolation is easy, fellowship must be intentional.

4. The Enemy Loves Isolation

One of the greatest strategies of the enemy is to isolate us - to convince us that no one understands, no one cares, and we’re better off on our own. But the truth is, isolation makes us vulnerable.

1 Peter 5:8 reminds us that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion. And what does a lion do? It singles out the one separated from the herd.

That’s why we need community. Fellowship strengthens us, protects us, and keeps us rooted when trials come.

5. Building Strong Friendships and Fellowship

So how can we live this out? Here are a few practical ways:

• Be intentional: Reach out. Don’t wait for others to always come to you.

• Be real: Share your struggles and let others in. Vulnerability builds trust.

• Be consistent: Make fellowship a rhythm, not an afterthought.

• Be Christ-centered: Build friendships that point one another to Jesus.

Friend, you don’t have to do life alone - and you weren’t meant to. We need one another. We need friendships that sharpen, encourage, and strengthen us in Christ.

If you’ve been feeling lonely or disconnected, take the first step. Send the text. Invite someone to coffee. Join the group. Say yes to fellowship.

Because together, we are stronger. Together, we reflect the heart of God.

Stepping Into Your Calling This Season

September has always felt like a fresh start. The school buses roll out, planners fill up, and routines start to shift again. For many of us, this season feels like a reset - a chance to step into something new.

But here’s the question: are you stepping into your calling, or just slipping back into busyness?

God has a unique purpose for your life, and every season is an opportunity to walk in it more fully.

1. God’s Timing is Perfect

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

That means you don’t have to have it all figured out. God knows exactly where you are and what He’s preparing you for. Maybe your calling feels big and overwhelming. Or maybe it feels hidden and quiet. Either way, this season is not wasted. God is shaping you for what He has next.

2. Your Calling May Not Look Like Theirs

Comparison is one of the biggest thieves of calling. It’s easy to look at someone else and think, “She’s doing so much more than I am,” or “I could never do what she does.”

But your calling is not meant to be a copy-and-paste version of someone else’s. <— Shewwwwww Girllll!!!!! All the praise hands over here! Listen:  God designed you with specific gifts, passions, and even past experiences to serve His kingdom in a way no one else can. Read that again. 

Romans 12:6 reminds us: “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us…”

3. Stepping Out Requires Faith

Walking in your calling will always require a measure of faith. You won’t feel “ready” most of the time. But God doesn’t call the qualified - He qualifies the called.

Think of Moses, who argued with God about not being good with words (Exodus 4). Or Esther, who risked everything to step into her role “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).

Faith is choosing to say yes to God, even when your knees are shaking.

4. Practical Ways to Step Into Your Calling This Season

• Pray daily: Ask God to show you where He wants you to step forward.

• Serve where you are: Don’t wait for the “big stage.” Your calling often begins with small acts of obedience.

• Stay teachable: Keep learning, growing, and letting God refine your gifts.

• Surround yourself with encouragers: The right community will cheer you on 👏🏼 and help you stay accountable. 

5. A Word of Encouragement

Friend, stepping into your calling doesn’t mean having all the answers or a five-year plan. It means being faithful with what God has placed in your hands today.

Don’t let fear or comparison hold you back. This season could be the one where God opens doors you never imagined - but you’ll only see them if you’re willing to take the first step.

Closing Challenge

This week, pray this simple prayer:
“Lord, help me see the opportunities You’ve placed in front of me. Give me courage to step into my calling this season, and let my life reflect You in all I do.”

And then, take one small step of faith. Because the season to step into your calling… is now.

💬 I’d love to know - what do you feel God is calling you to step into this season?

The Call to Be Holy: What Set-Apart Living Looks Like Today

When you hear the word holy, what comes to mind? For some, it might feel like an impossible standard. For others, it may sound old-fashioned or out of reach. But holiness isn’t about being perfect or having it all together, it’s about being set apart for God.

In a world that constantly pulls us to fit in, God’s call is clear:

“Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
— 1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)

Holiness isn’t optional. It’s not just for pastors, missionaries, or “super Christians.” It’s the calling of every believer. And the beautiful truth is this: holiness is possible because of Christ living in us.

What Holiness is Not

Before we look at what holiness really is, let’s clear up what it isn’t.

• Holiness is not about legalism or self-righteousness.

• It’s not about outward appearance.

• It’s not about keeping up a spiritual checklist to look good to others.

For me, this truth is personal. I have tattoos. And for a long time, I wrestled with how people might see me in ministry. But God has reminded me over and over again that holiness is a matter of the heart, not the skin. It’s about who I belong to and the life I choose to live for Him.

What Holiness Is

Holiness means being set apart. It means choosing to think, live, and love differently because we belong to Jesus.

Romans 12:1–2 reminds us:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (KJV)

Holiness isn’t about perfection. It’s about surrender. It’s about letting God transform us from the inside out so that our lives reflect Him.

Living Set Apart in Daily Life

So how does holiness show up in everyday life? It’s often in the small choices we make:

• What we consume- the media we watch, the conversations we engage in, the words we speak. Remember, what we fill up with is what will spill out of us. 

• How we treat others-  extending kindness, forgiveness, and grace, even when it’s hard.

• Where we invest our time- making room for prayer, God’s Word, and community with believers.

Holiness isn’t about being removed from the world; it’s about living differently within it. And when we live set apart, people notice. Our lives begin to point others toward Jesus.

The Hope of Holiness

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to try to be holy in your own strength. Left to ourselves, we’ll fall short every time. But through the Spirit of God, holiness is possible.

2 Corinthians 7:1 says:

“…let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (KJV)

Holiness is not a burden — it’s a beautiful invitation to live free, live differently, and live close to Jesus.

A Challenge for This Week

Ask God to reveal one area of your life where He’s calling you to live set apart. Maybe it’s what you’re watching, how you speak, or where your time goes. Then, take one small step of obedience.

Holiness is not about being “good enough.” It’s about belonging to Him and reflecting His character to a world that desperately needs His light.

Friend, you are called to be holy. You are called to be set apart. And with Christ in you, it’s possible.

💬 I’d love to hear from you: What does holiness look like for you in this season? Share in the comments below!

You Don’t Have to be Her

Hey sis,

Let’s talk about her for a minute.

You know the one. She shows up early, never forgets a birthday, and her kitchen towel actually matches her dish soap bottle. She's the kind of woman who makes homemade bread and still manages to fold laundry the same day it comes out of the dryer. Meanwhile, you’re re-boiling your coffee for the third time and wondering if matching socks are even a thing anymore.

Yeah… I’ve been there too.

But can I lovingly remind you of something today?

You don’t have to be her.

You only have to be you. The one God handcrafted on purpose, for purpose.

Somewhere along the way, we started believing this quiet little lie:
"If I could just be more like her… then I’d be enough."

But here’s the truth: comparison is a thief. It robs you of confidence, peace, and the joy of living your own beautiful story. It makes you question what God already called good.

Psalm 139:14 says,

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” 

That “marvellous work” is you, sis. Not the version of you pretending to be someone else. Not the polished, filtered, Pinterest-perfect version.
The real you. Mess and all.

God doesn’t recycle purpose. He doesn’t clone callings.
What He placed inside her isn’t meant to make you feel less than - it’s meant to inspire, not intimidate.

Your story, your voice, your giftings, your testimony - they matter.
You were made for your season, your circle, and your assignment.

And friend, when you stop trying to be her, you get to fully embrace Him - the One who created you with intention.

What if instead of comparing, we celebrated?
What if we traded jealousy for joy and insecurity for identity?

She can make the best sourdough, and you can pray heaven down like nobody’s business.
She can run the PTA, and you can run a women’s Bible study from your kitchen table.
She can thrive in her lane, and you can flourish in yours.

It’s not a competition - it’s a calling.
And God never asked you to be her. He’s simply asking you to be available, faithful, and fully YOU.

Take a few moments today and reflect on this question:

What area of your life do you most often compare to others? What truth from God’s Word can you replace that thought with?

Sis, if you’ve been looking at someone else’s life and feeling like you’re falling short - breathe. You are not behind. You are not less than. You are not forgotten.

You are His. And that is enough.

Cheering for you as you walk boldly in your lane,
🤍 Lynn

Hope in the Waiting — and in the Transition

Hey sweet friends.

Let’s talk about seasons - again.
And I know, I’ve said that word a lot lately.
But it keeps coming up, and not just from me. I’ve had so many conversations lately where someone else brings up the idea of seasons - what season they’re in, what they just came through, or what they’re waiting on God for.

And I’ve learned to pay attention when a theme keeps showing up. That usually means the Lord is trying to teach us something.

Seasons are a natural part of life.
For trees, for flowers - and for us.
We have blooming seasons. Shedding seasons. Pruning seasons. Waiting seasons.
And whether they feel joyful or painful, they all serve a purpose.

As life moves forward, it changes.
People come. People go.
Kids grow up. Jobs shift. Responsibilities change.
And suddenly, we can find ourselves in unfamiliar territory - wondering, what now?

My brother recently retired from the Army National Guard, and after years of serving, he looked at me and said, “I don’t know who I am now.”
That hit me hard.
Because how many of us have felt that way?

A child moves out. A job ends. A ministry role shifts.
And you’re left wondering who you are without what used to define your days.
And listen - those feelings are valid. Even when we know God is still in control, we can still feel disoriented or even a little lost.

But it was during one of my bible study devotions that I came across Psalm 130.

Verse 5 says:
“I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.”

Y’all, I read that verse and it stopped me in my tracks.
I read it again.
And again.
And I just sat there, thinking, “Lord, You’re speaking to me right now.”

David wasn’t just casually waiting. He said his soul was waiting.
Everything in him was in that season of “not yet.”
And what kept him going?
Hope - in God’s Word.

David had enemies. He had fears. He had years of hiding and running before the promise of kingship ever came to pass.
But he knew where to turn.
He didn’t just white-knuckle his way through.
He leaned into the promises of God.

God’s Word sustained David - and it will sustain us too.

Because let’s be honest - it’s easy to have faith in the blooming seasons.
But in the shedding, the pruning, or the waiting? That’s where the real trust comes in.

And friend, as we close out another beautiful year of Godly Gals, I want to leave you with this truth: God is just as present in the pause as He is in the promise.

We’ve walked through so much together this year - growing in the Word, worshiping together, digging into community, and discovering our purpose.
And now we’re heading into our summer break. A new rhythm. A shift in our routine.

Some of you will feel that change deeply.
You might miss this time together. You might feel like you’re in a bit of a waiting room.
But I want to encourage you: Let this break be a sacred pause. Not a step back. Not a detour. But a moment to breathe, reflect, and realign.

And here’s my challenge to you:
Don’t wait until August to open your Bible.
Don’t wait until we’re back together to press into God’s presence.
Let His Word be your daily bread - your lifeline - this summer.

If you find yourself asking, “What now, Lord?”
Run to the Word.
If you feel dry, distant, or unsure - run to the Word.
And if everything’s going great and life is blooming - still, run to the Word.

Because come August, we’re coming back.
And I believe with everything in me that God is going to do something new in our Godly Gals family.
New hearts. New strength. New callings.
But what you do in the waiting… in this break… it matters.

So here’s what I’ll leave you with:

Keep your head up.
Lift your eyes to Jesus.
Stay in His Word.
And know that no matter what season you are in—He is your hope in the middle of it.

I love you, and I’m so grateful we’ve walked this year together.
Now go into this break refreshed, expectant, and anchored in truth.

We’ll be back in August - and I believe we’re just getting started.

The girl in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror.

I could write a book about her. (Actually, I sort of am…)

Phew.  

She’s a bundle of nerves. She’s angry. She’s sad. She’s hopeful. She’s full of doubt. Second guessing.

She’s me. She’s you. We are the girl in the mirror. Or…we.. were…the girl…in the mirror. Is that me? Or…was that me? 

The truth is we look at her every single day, and what we see differs, depending on the state of our mind. Think about it: if we aced a test that day or scored praise from the boss, we may look at the girl in the mirror and say “You killed it today girl! You can do ANYTHING!!”  But on those days where we tripped over the rug getting out of bed and spilled coffee on our white blouse on our way out the door….those are the days we get in our head. We start the downward thinking spiral and everything changes. The girl in the mirror is now the failure. The girl who messes everything up. The broken little girl. The abused teenager. The woman scorned. 

Whatever your scars are, you are not alone. We all have them. Some look different than others, some are visible, some aren’t. But they’re there. Hidden beneath our best smiles. Covered by the perfect outfit. Brushed over with our morning makeup routine. We’ve learned to disguise the damage, to tuck away the trauma, to function in spite of it all.
But the mirror knows.
And deep down, so do we.

The girl in the mirror isn’t just who we were.
She’s the sum of our past and the seed of our future.
She holds all the stories, every “almost,” every heartbreak, every whispered prayer in the middle of the night. She knows what it’s like to be dismissed, misunderstood, overlooked. But she also knows what it’s like to rise. To heal. To begin again.

Because here’s the truth sis:
You are not the worst thing that’s ever happened to you.
You are not the sum of your mistakes, or the names they called you, or the pieces you had to pick up after someone else broke you.
You are becoming. And it’s beautiful.

The mirror doesn’t get the final word.
God does.
And when He looks at you, He doesn’t flinch at your flaws.
He sees His workmanship. His daughter. His beloved.
He sees purpose - even in the pieces.

So today, maybe it’s time to stop hiding from her.
Stand in front of that mirror.
Look her in the eyes.
And remind her of this:

“I’m still here.
I’m healing.
I’m growing.
And by the grace of God,
I’m not who I used to be.”

I’m with you sister, all the way.

🤍- Lynn

Made for More: Embracing Your God-Given Purpose

The following is from the Made 4 More Conference 2025.

—————————————————————————

Ladies, I stand before you today as living proof that God can take the broken pieces of our past and weave them into something beautiful. I didn’t always believe that. In fact, for years, I ran from my calling. Not because I didn’t believe in God - but because I didn’t believe in myself.

My past was rough, full of hurts that left me feeling unworthy, incapable, and unqualified for anything good. I wore shame like a heavy chain, convinced that my story was too messy, my mistakes too big, and my wounds too deep for God to use me.

Maybe some of you feel that way - like you’ve been disqualified by life, by choices, by circumstances beyond your control.

But here’s the truth: God does not call the qualified - He qualifies the called.

 No matter what you’ve walked through, no matter how far you’ve run, and no matter how small you feel - you were created for a divine purpose, and every detail of your journey, good and bad, is part of God’s greater plan.

To show you just how powerful this truth is, I want us to look at a man who knew what it meant to run, to wrestle with his calling, and to feel completely unworthy - Moses.

 Exodus 3 – Moses’ Call at the Burning Bush 

Moses: A Man Made for More

Moses’ story begins in a time when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt under Pharaoh’s harsh rule. Pharaoh, afraid of the growing number of Israelites, ordered that every baby boy be killed. But Moses' mother refused to give up on him - she placed him in a basket and set him afloat on the Nile River, trusting God with his life.

By God's providence, Pharaoh’s own daughter found the baby, had compassion on him, and raised him as her own. So Moses, though born a Hebrew, grew up in the palace of Egypt, receiving education, privilege, and status. But deep inside, he knew he wasn’t truly an Egyptian - he was one of God’s people.

One day, as a grown man, Moses saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite slave. In anger, he killed the Egyptian, thinking he was helping his people. But instead of being seen as a hero, Moses was rejected and forced to flee into the wilderness. He left behind his life in Egypt and became a shepherd in the land of Midian, where he spent 40 years in obscurity, far from the life he once knew.

Just when Moses likely thought his story was over, God showed up - in the form of a burning bush. And that’s where we pick up in Exodus 3, where God calls Moses into something far greater than he ever imagined.

Moses’ story in Exodus 3 is one of the greatest examples in Scripture of someone who was made for more but struggled to believe it. Here we find him in the wilderness, tending sheep - far away from the palace he was raised in, far away from the purpose he was created for.

Moses, once a prince of Egypt, had run for his life after a terrible mistake. He was a fugitive, a failure in his own eyes. And just when he thought he was forgotten, God met him in a burning bush and called him to more.

I see myself in Moses. Maybe you do too.

Like Moses, I ran from my calling, convinced that my past had disqualified me. But the same God who called Moses from the flames called me out of my wilderness. And today, I believe He’s calling you too.

From this powerful encounter, I want to give you four truths about stepping into the "more" you were made for.

Truth 1: God’s Call is Greater Than Your Past

Exodus 3:11  – “And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

When God called Moses, his first response wasn’t faith - it was fear.
He said, “Who am I?”

I’ve asked that same question. After everything I’d been through, after all the mistakes I’d made, I thought surely God had chosen the wrong person.

Maybe you’ve been asking the same thing. Who am I to lead? Who am I to make a difference? Who am I to step into God’s purpose?

But here’s what I learned: Your past does not disqualify you. It prepares you.

• Moses’ past in Egypt made him the perfect person to lead his people out.

• My past - every trial, every wound - became the very thing that shaped me for ministry.

• Your past - every moment of brokenness - has been woven into a testimony that can set others free.

Lysa TerKeurst once said:
"God is good at being God. When we assume the burden of trying to figure everything out, we act as if we don’t need Him. But we do need Him - desperately."

Truth 2: God’s Power is Greater Than Your Insecurities

Moses had a long list of reasons why he couldn’t answer God’s call.

• “I am not eloquent.”

• “They won’t believe me.”

• “I am slow of speech.”

I get it. I have felt that same fear of inadequacy. I’ve thought, “God, I can’t do this. I don’t have the right words. I don’t have the strength.”

And do you know what God says? The same thing He told Moses in Ex. 3:12: "And He said, Certainly I will be with thee."

Sisters, when God calls you, He goes with you. You are not stepping into purpose alone. The power of the Almighty walks with you into every assignment.

Truth 3: God’s Promise is Greater Than Your Fears

Exodus 3:14  – “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM…”

Moses was still afraid. He asked, “Who should I say sent me?”
And God answered with the most powerful declaration: “I AM THAT I AM.”

Sisters, when you don’t feel like enough, remember: He is.

• When you feel weak - He is your strength.

• When you feel lost - He is your guide.

• When you feel afraid - He is your courage.

God is not calling you to step into your purpose alone. He is the I AM who goes before you, who strengthens you, who empowers you.

Corrie ten Boom says it beautifully-
"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."

Truth 4: Trust God’s Timing – His Plan is Perfect

Ecclesiastes 3:11
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

There is nothing harder than waiting - especially when we feel called to something greater.

Moses had to wait in the wilderness for 40 years before stepping into his calling. He probably thought he had missed his chance, but God had not forgotten him. The burning bush didn’t come too late; it came at the perfect time in God’s plan.

Maybe you feel like you’ve been waiting - waiting for breakthrough, waiting for direction, waiting for something to change. But just because you don’t see movement does not mean God isn’t working.

God’s delay is not His denial - it is His divine preparation.

Lisa Bevere said:
"God will take you through seasons where you feel unseen to see if you will be faithful when only He is watching."

Waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons - they are shaping you, refining you, and preparing you for the MORE God has for you.

 God’s delays are not denials. Trust His timing - it is always perfect.

Practical Steps to Step Into Your "More"

1. Let Go of Your Past – Forgive yourself. God already has. 

Isaiah 43:18-19
"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

 God is saying: Forget the past! Stop holding onto what He has already forgiven. He is doing something NEW in you!

2.     Say Yes, Even When You Feel Unqualified – God equips the called. 

2 Corinthians 12:9
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

God doesn’t need your strength - He needs your surrender. His grace is MORE than enough!

3.     Walk in Faith, Not Fear – God is with you. Joshua 1:9
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Fear has no place where God is leading you! He has already gone before you and will be with you every step of the way.

Moses could have stayed in the wilderness. He could have let his fear keep him from his purpose. But he chose to trust God - and an entire nation was set free.

What if your purpose is tied to someone else’s freedom?
What if your obedience is the key to someone else’s breakthrough?

What if your calling is the answer to someone else’s prayer?

 What if stepping into your purpose sets a chain reaction of faith for generations to come?

Ladies, you were not meant for a life of settling. You were made for more.

Stepping into Your More

.

• Maybe you’ve been struggling with feeling unworthy, like your past has disqualified you.

• Maybe you’ve been hesitating, afraid to step into what God is asking you to do.

• Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, wondering if there’s more to life than this.

There is.

You were made for more than brokenness. More than fear. More than settling.
You were made for freedom, purpose, and divine calling.

And today, God is inviting you to step into your more… stop running and start stepping.

THIS could be your burning bush moment - your encounter with the living God. Don’t let fear hold you back. Just say, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

"Father, we thank You that You have called us to more. Thank You that our past does not define us, our insecurities do not limit us, and our fears do not control us. You are the great 'I AM,' the One who calls, equips, and goes with us. Father, Help us to step into Your purpose with boldness, knowing that You are with us. Today, we surrender. We lay down our fears, our doubts, and our excuses, and we say YES to You. We trust that You have a plan, and we step into the MORE that You created us for.Seal this word in our hearts, and let us leave this place changed - empowered, equipped, and ready to walk in Your purpose.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen."
