Paul writes to the churches of the New Testament and often has to address sin. Usually, it’s topics like witchcraft, fornication, and pride. Two sins that most parents still worry about today. I’m a millennial. And most of the older generation says, “I can’t imagine raising kids in this world.” Or “I can’t believe how… Continue reading The World Our Kids Are Growing Up In

A Unified Home
First Corinthians 1:10 says, “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Psalm 133:1 says, “Behold, how good and… Continue reading A Unified Home
Be a Servant
Being a Servant The Greek word for servant is doulos, pronounced doo’-los. This word is the same as slave. It is to be under the rule or authority of someone else. In our present society, the use of the word slave never carries a positive meaning. We have done all we can to eradicate slavery,… Continue reading Be a Servant
Trusting God With Your Children
As a mother, accepting that we aren’t in control is very difficult. During pregnancy you get to keep that precious child with you at all times. But the day comes when the baby is born, and suddenly, everything is a threat. You begin to worry about car accidents, sickness, falls, someone being mean to your… Continue reading Trusting God With Your Children
Be Poured Out
Often, we say that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Logically, this makes sense. I understand that the thought is that you have nothing to give when you are empty. Being empty could be exhaustion, overwhelm, or fear. When we experience any of those, we freeze. We can’t make a decision or take the… Continue reading Be Poured Out
The Culture of #hotmess
#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
Will You Pray For Your Children?
“And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: The woman… Continue reading Will You Pray For Your Children?
What Do You Worship?
Jeremiah 32 is another record of Israel’s sin of idolatry. Judgment would come as a result. Verse 35 should upset all of us. Idolatry always has a price. They would be carried away captive to a foreign land. But in this verse, they were sacrificing their children by fire to a false god. Maybe you… Continue reading What Do You Worship?
Surviving or Thriving?
I saw a sticker recently that said #survivingmotherhood I get it. Some days are hard. Being a mother is a full-time job. There are challenges nearly every day. There are questions, messes, and tantrums to navigate. You’ve never done this day before. Even if you have multiple children, there are still new challenges you will… Continue reading Surviving or Thriving?
The Tears of Motherhood
The tears of motherhood. There’s so many, aren’t there? We often cry when we find out we are expecting. We cry at the first sight of the baby on the ultrasound or the first sound of the heartbeat. We cry during pregnancy for no reason because of our hormones. We cry at the first movements,… Continue reading The Tears of Motherhood
