#hotmess This is a popular hashtag and photo caption on our social media pages, isn’t it? Along with #hotmessmama and #hotmessexpress I understand the relatability of this term. The idea is to show that we aren’t and don’t have to be put perfectly together 100% of the time. Some days we don’t get out of… Continue reading The Culture of #hotmess

What Could You Do Less Of?
With the new year coming up, many of us are thinking of the next resolution we will seek to keep. It usually involved adding things to our lives, such as working out, eating better, seeing friends and family more, and faithful church attendacne. All of these are good things, but they usually don’t last. A… Continue reading What Could You Do Less Of?
Intimacy in Marriage
*Disclaimer: This list is based on Scripture and personal experiences from 15 years of marriage. These are general guidelines to help your intimacy to thrive rather than survive.

Saying “Yes” in 2023
I enjoy the excitement and expectancy of a new year. It feels like a fresh start, changes are coming, and goals are being set. And I can start recovering financially from Christmas and a child’s December birthday (Hallelujah!). If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
Being a Wife Before Marriage
Proverbs 18:22 says, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Does this mean a man can’t be favored or blessed by God before marriage? Not at all. We see over and over in Scripture that men are blessed and used by God before and after marriage, not just… Continue reading Being a Wife Before Marriage
If/Then
Leviticus 26:3-4 says, “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” This promise of blessing was contingent upon their obedience. If they walked… Continue reading If/Then
Thoughts From Psalm 1

You know, the usual things such as ensuring we have all the pencils and erasers in order, the curriculum organized, and everything in its place. It is one of my favorite things.

Yes, I am a Christian, but…
Yes, I am a Christian. But I am not perfect. I do not always represent Jesus as well as I should or even as well as I desire to. I do not intentionally do or say things that will make my Saviour look bad. I do not purposefully push you away from Him. The… Continue reading Yes, I am a Christian, but…
Church Hurt
I wanted to take the time to share our personal experience of church hurt. It was not very severe or drastic, thankfully, however, I do feel like it may help someone. We had just moved to Colorado from Tennessee. Looking for a home, church, and school is quite a challenge, but we knew God had… Continue reading Church Hurt
