HELPING WOMEN to KNOW, GROW, AND LEARN TO GRACEFULLY DEFEND THEIR CHRISTIAN FAITH AND BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW with gentleness & respect
Regardless of where you stand when it comes to the results of the US Presidential election, it’s undeniable that we are a country divided, plagued with the ugliness and tension that comes from division. Some are elated, some are disheartened. Many are in shocked disbelief (good or bad), while others find themselves in enraged denial. […]

I love the fall. I love the crispness in the air and way the leaves rustle when you walk through them. And I’m so grateful that this year, after 15 years of living in the desert, I’m getting to experience the entire season of fall, not just a weekend here or there. And as much […]

I remember as a kid going to sleep on October 30th to the sound of my mom’s sewing machine humming along… and waking up the next morning to the same sound. So many times she stayed up all night long to construct costumes ranging from Princess Leia to Laura Ingles Wilder. On several occasions my […]

I spent this past weekend in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Three of my girlfriends and I rented a beautiful stone house on a working farm in New Holland, PA. Being the only Lancaster County “newbie” they took me around the area to do most of the traditional activities. I say “most” because we didn’t go for […]

It’s not the Webster.com version, but the pastor of our church recently offered a definition of “faith” that I hadn’t heard before. He said “faith is an action based on a belief.” Faith is an action. Faith is a verb. It’s not something you have, it’s something you do. Belief is something you have, faith is something […]

I remember the first time I saw the video of Kid President give his “Pep Talk” and I thought, now that’s something the world needs more of. And he’s right, we could all use a pep talk. If we let it, the world can seem to be a scary place that’s out of control. But, […]

Today marks the beginning of a new season for me. This post is my official “launch” post for the new website and blog (designed by Jen Olmstead of Tonic Site Shop) and it’s the day before I begin a trip back East to begin interviews for the book I’m planning to write. There, I’ve said […]

If you had told me in the summer of 2015 that I only had one year left of living in Arizona and one year left of working for Showit I would have disagreed with you. I would’ve been nice about it, but I might have called you crazy to your face. But that’s the thing […]

How has the ping of my inbox become more important than the sound of your voice? If you’re a work-from-home mom then you know exactly what I’m talking about. That incessant, relentless ping from the sound of yet another email dropping into your inbox. Another demand on your time, another item on your to-do list. […]

I want to talk to you from the mountaintop. From a peak that is so high, at the end of a trail that has come so far that the place where you started is just a speck in the distance, too small and too fuzzy to clearly make out. But the reality is that on […]

I’m sitting at the Apple store waiting to check in a mini iPad. Why? Because it has a cracked screen. How did that happen? Lily bit it. No joke. She got frustrated playing the “Minions” racing game and last week she bit her iPad. She bit it so hard that it shattered the screen. I’m […]

UNDERSTANDING YOUR LEARNING STYLE WILL TRANSFORM YOUR BIBLE STUDY
TAKE THE BIBLE STUDY QUIZ
Do you want to study the Bible, but struggle to stick with it?
"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."
ROMANS 8: 14-16, ESV
“A quiet heart is content with what God gives.”
