Fall Asleep with God’s Word: A Gentle Nighttime Practice

Katie Scott — Mon, 18 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Depression steals my sleep. It snatches it right up. Lying in bed each night, I often wonder if I will ever feel normal or okay again. During the day I can put on a smile and get to work. Weary, out of energy, I press on. Activities and to-do lists consume each hour of the day. It isn’t until the world goes to sleep that I find ourselves unable to do the same, lying awake in the tangle of my...

Don’t Skip This: Why Midday Prayer Can Change Your Whole Day

Katie Scott — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

If I’m honest, lunchtime at home doesn’t always feel like a break. As a stay-at-home mom, I feel like I am constantly juggling things. When my children were all young, at home, and into everything my life was often a balancing act. Someone also needed something, someone didn’t like what’s on their plate, and at lunch I barely had time to scarf down their leftovers. Even today, although they are all at school (except my daughter who is special needs),...

How to Build a Morning Quiet Time You’ll Actually Keep

Katie Scott — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Who invited the snooze alarm on our phone? Do we love it? Hate it? I’m not sure yet if I have found it helpful or harmful. Every night, as I set my alarm for the next morning, I feel like I am determined to be that person who gets up early. Don’t hit the snooze more than once. I will get myself up…only… Each morning I find myself faced with the choice. A few more minutes of sleep or get...

7 Simple Ways to Stay Consistent in Your Quiet Time

Katie Scott — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

At first I didn’t want to write this blog post because in all honesty – I just read my Bible for the first time in the past four days. That’s right. Even as I sit down to talk about how to be consistent I have to be honest up front: I am still learning these lessons. Everyday I have a choice (and you do too), will I work on my relationship with God or not? After missing a few days...

How I Take Bible Notes (Simple + Messy Method That Actually Works)

Katie Scott — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

My Bible and I have been through a lot. Over the past thirty years of being a Christian I’ve had many Bibles. At times I’ve only highlighted or underlined my Bible, but as God began to grow in me a desire to love His word, I’ve come to see such a benefit in taking Bible notes. I’ll warn you though, this is not a one-size fits all method! My Bible doesn’t look perfect – and that’s why it works. Throughout...

Katie Scott — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

“I love your Bible! ” The other day I was sitting in Sunday School and someone approached me and complimented my new Bible. It was a Christmas gift from my husband and it was beautiful. My new Bible has a journaling section in the margins. Here is a link if you are interested. My old Bible was also a journaling Bible. I had received it several years ago and many of the marginal pages were filled with notes, thoughts, praises,...

Week 7 of Lent – Resurrection Hope That Changes Everything

Katie Scott — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Scripture “Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling.”Psalm 116:7–8 Reflection Psalm 116 reads like a testimony spoken after the storm has passed. It is one of my favorite storms because it reminds me that I can sing this song before the storm goes away. Before God rescues, these true things about God remain true. The psalmist looks back and names...

Week 5 of Lent – When Joy and Sorrow Met in the Dark

Katie Scott — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Scripture “For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor, a lifetime.Weeping may stay overnight,but there is joy in the morning.”Psalm 30:5 (CSB) Reflection Night has a way of telling the truth. In the quiet hours, when the house is still, when distractions fade, when sleep will not come, I have found myself deep inside my sorrow. Why is it that the dark, the nighttime, is when we often feel sorrow more sharply? Grief speaks louder. Worries replay themselves. Loss...
