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 Loud and Stubborn Woman
Proverbs 7:11 says, “(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:” This verse begins to describe a harlot. We could get into many lessons with this, but today I want to focus on this verse. This phrase stood out to me as I read this. It describes many women today, doesn’t… Continue reading The Loud and Stubborn Woman
Parenting in Proverbs

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?

If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
I Am Not Missing Out, And Neither Are You
Dear Homeschool Mama, I see you. I know the indecisiveness and worry over curriculum, grades, struggles, extra-curriculars, trying to be a good wife, and maintaining your home. It’s a lot. Anyone that says we have it easy has obviously never done this. This year is my 8th year of homeschooling. Something I never thought I… Continue reading I Am Not Missing Out, And Neither Are You
The Sword of the Spirit
Ephesians 6:10-17 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of… Continue reading The Sword of the Spirit
