Have you ever said or thought this? That you have lost yourself in being a wife and mother? I do not want to downplay how you feel. Being a wife and mother can be challenging and overwhelming, especially in those early days of no sleep, temper tantrums, and potty training. However, I want to help… Continue reading I’ve Lost Myself

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
I am reading through the book of Proverbs in my daily devotions, and the Lord has reminded me of some things. Chapters 2-5 and 7 begin with a plea to listen to the instruction and wisdom. God has not written these chapters for us to ignore them. It is also written from a father to… Continue reading Parenting in Proverbs
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

Is the Lord Your Strength?
Strength is defined as 1.“the quality or state of being physically strong.” 2. “The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.” Life sure brings great force and pressure, doesn’t it? Trials, heartache, spiritual warfare, peer pressure, demands of others. It is all demanding and takes great strength to withstand. And… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Strength?
Daniel, The Young Man
The account of Daniel gets more exciting and challenging to me the older I get. Most of us know the basics of his life through the Sunday School lessons we have heard. But there is so much more to Daniel than the lion’s den and his three friends getting thrown into the fiery furnace! I… Continue reading Daniel, The Young Man
Living Abundantly Through Grace
Grace is one of those things that just amazes me. Grace is something most of us want to receive. We know how precious it is, yet, we want to offer it less than we would like to receive it. Have we forgotten that it is by grace that we are saved, able to fellowship with… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Grace
Murmurings & Disputings
Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” This is a command. God didn’t say to “try” or to “mostly” do things without murmurings and disputings. He also said all, and as you know, all means all. The context of this verse is Paul writing to the church of Phillipi. This verse is… Continue reading Murmurings & Disputings
