Hi. I'm Barbara Maxwell.
I live surrounded by the beauty of Miromar Lakes, a delightful community on the southwest coast of Florida. Most days are sunny, warm, and filled with friends from around the world.
I count myself blessed to be busy with family, writing, and little ministries of life alongside my husband Mike. In over 46 years together we have encountered high and low times, navigated change, and continue to explore each new season of life together.
Many of those who know me have found me through the daily devotional ministry God prompted me to begin many years ago. My ministry began with simple devotionals, shared with close friends by text and email.
I never anticipated that my daily practice of reflection and prayer would grow into a writing project, and become not one but two published books. Creating devotionals is a daily practice I wouldn't trade for anything. They're my way of opening a slice of my conversation with Jesus to be shared with those He brings to my path.
The word "devotion" at the heart of the word "devotional" seems so appropriate to me. We "devote" ourselves to so many things in the course of the day. My days are so much sweeter when I give my devotion to my Savior first thing. His help flows through to all the following moments of my day. Whether my day is filled with chaos or calm, it has perspective and fellowship that will get me through, directly from devoting those first minutes to meeting with Jesus.
Whether you already have a firm practice of spiritual devotion or not, I invite you to experience a simple, modern devotion with me.
May you find joy for today, peace for the season you are in, and help whenever you need it.
Sincerely,
