We just have to be careful with laughing at inopportune times. I chuckle at the word “joy.” If you say the word “joy” and there isn’t a smile that comes to your face, then something is terribly wrong. Everyone needs one friend that will get them to giggle in serious situations. I still laugh out loud every time I think of one memory with the friend who does that for me. ]]></description><link>https://womenofbrookstone.wixsite.com/blog/post/ode-to-joy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0c1bea8ba6aec9a8122215</guid><category><![CDATA[Authenticity]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf70f5f4c5324155b98e8ba6e02dca69.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Keitha Ruiz</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Love of God Our Creator]]></title><description><![CDATA[Meditating on God’s love is essential to our walk with Jesus, for it’s out of His love that we love others.

This included family members, my closest friends, and nearly all those I spent my days around at university. I knew that the only way for people to live a fulfilled life that was eternal was to surrender their hearts to Jesus as I had. There was no salvation outside of Yeshua.

After this study came to a close, many of those women came back to me saying “let’s do it again, but on another book.” So we did just that; we dove into the book of Colossians using the same exact method, with the same exact expectation. ]]></description><link>https://womenofbrookstone.wixsite.com/blog/post/the-importance-of-studying-the-genre-of-a-bible-book</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e6e4db8b2f11ff8e57af3b</guid><category><![CDATA[Biblical Literacy]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:53:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_a93d77c9ab924518a99768e00703892e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Savannah Cone</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lift Your Drooping Hands and Strengthen Your Weak Knees]]></title><description><![CDATA[When things feel inconvenient, what is your default setting?

As followers of Jesus, God calls us to love others out of the love He shows us (John 13:34–35). This godly love is a much greater source than any feeling of goodwill, however strong it may be. That’s why understanding and meditating on His love for us is so important—it’s the lifeblood of our love for others. Without it, the unconditional, unselfish love of Christ is impossible for us to act out. ]]></description><link>https://womenofbrookstone.wixsite.com/blog/post/the-love-of-god-our-father</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e6c424e30ec41b7d066935</guid><category><![CDATA[Spiritual Maturity]]></category><category><![CDATA[Authenticity]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 01:54:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_92a7fbda98f247e28bd0964a979bffd4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Natalie Meece</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Comparison Creeps In (And Grace Meets Me There)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Do you ever catch yourself scrolling and wonder...
