By Missy Eversole /

Most of us are familiar with the term JOY – Jesus, Others, You. In our Christian circles, we refer to this as putting Jesus first, then others, then ourselves. It’s a simple word that is relatively hard to follow through doing. Most of us, myself included, tend to put ourselves and others before Jesus. This…

Every school day, I have watched my children head into school. Whether it was dropping them off at the front door, or watching them from the front porch as they drove away in their vehicles, I have never missed seeing Grant and Connor leave for school. College was no exception. One Week Ago Last Tuesday,…

Three Ways the Quarantine Prepared Me For My Son Leaving for College

By Missy Eversole /

One week. Just one week until we move our son into his dorm at Baylor University. Waco is a 14-hour drive or 2 1/2- 3 hours by flight (depending on where you fly into.) I will never forget the conversation that our son and I had when we were touring the campus during Spring Break…

Five Things to Help Parents Prepare for the College Transition

By Missy Eversole /

“Did you get a chance to read the email for school today?” I asked my husband during our nightly walk. “Which school?” Craig replied. And the tears began to well up in my eyes. The Little Things that Make Me Cry Yesterday, we received emails from both the high school and the university where our…

Trusting Jesus While Preparing to Move My Son to College in Another State

By Missy Eversole /

Three weeks from today, the dynamics in our house will change. There will be a seat empty at the kitchen table. There will be only one child to get out the door for school. The house will be a little quieter without that infectious laugh that I have heard throughout the years. And if I…

🎄✨ Are you already exhausted from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season?

I know exactly how you feel! 

Let’s stop chasing the "perfect" Christmas and embrace what truly matters. I made a bold move a few years ago: I gave up baking. No Christmas cut-out cookies, no fudge, no M&M cookies. Why? Because I can’t bake! 😂 My boys didn’t care—they know every dessert I attempt ends up burned!

But guess what? Letting go of the unnecessary gave me time to focus on the sweetest gift of all—the baby in the manger. The One who left His heavenly throne, took on human form, and grew up to die on the cross for our sins so that we can have eternal life. 

This year, let’s reclaim Christmas!

My free five-day devotional is available on my website now. I pray that it helps you focus on the season's true meaning.

Let’s savor the Savior this season! 

Will you join me? Together, we’ll "Have a Merry Little Christ-Centered Christmas!" ❤️🙏
