I remember that time in life. The 2’s and 3’s can be so much fun, yet so challenging. I have a 2 year old niece, so I get to experience this again. I honestly love it. If I could just keep her, I would. You get a first row seat to watch your babies grow… Continue reading Dear Toddler Mom,

Can I Be Honest With You?
I just want to share part of my story. Maybe this will encourage you. Maybe it’ll make you think I’m crazy. I got married young. I had an okay example of marriage from my parents. My husband didn’t have a godly example, so we both had/have a lot to learn. My home life was a… Continue reading Can I Be Honest With You?
The Problem With a 50/50 Marriage
It is not biblical. This is the basis of this problem. Everything else stems from this truth. Did you vow to your spouse to keep score and require them always to do as much as you do in this marriage? No, of course, you didn’t. Did you purchase scorecards to exchange during the ceremony, allowing… Continue reading The Problem With a 50/50 Marriage

I believe… Continue reading Where Did It All Begin?
Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
As with any type of health-related thing, it takes effort and planning. However, all of the planning, organizing, and good ideas are useless if we never start putting them into practice. Just start. There will be off days. Days you are tired. Days when the temptation to quit is strong. Keep going. If you do… Continue reading Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build

One account that sticks… Continue reading Will You Prove Him?
