    How to Make Friends as a Christian Woman

    June 8, 2020 /

    Learning How to Make Friends as a Christian Woman starts learning how to BE a friend. You might think you know how to be a friend. But I had to give this some thought several years ago and really be willing to look more deeply in the mirror. I am loyal and kind, but I struggle with some things that have made developing lasting friendships more challenging for me than for some people. Learning how to make friends comes easy to some. But I have always been that person who felt like she didn’t fit in. I am the person who walks away from a conversation and replays every awkward…

    Ditching the “I’ll be a better mom, tomorrow” Mentality

    June 29, 2019 /

    Do you stress yourself out worrying about being a better mom? Are you constantly feeling like you’ll be a better mom tomorrow? Let’s ditch that mentality today. And focus on what God wants for us as mothers today. This is where it gets tricky. Because what God wants for us is this incredibly delicate balance between His grace and conviction. God loves us where we are, but loves us enough not to leave us there. So how do we walk that line between not beating ourselves up, but also wanting to do it better tomorrow? After an incredibly hard day of parenting, I’ve stood by her bed, tears pricking my…

    What Mom did while you were sleeping . . .

    August 22, 2016 /

    If you’re a mom, you’ve crept across a toy littered floor to your child’s bedside to watch your baby sleeping. You’ve smoothed stray locks, wiped warm foreheads, and whispered I love you one more time. Those are savored memories, stowed away treasures. But our kids have no idea. Most of the time, they sleep right through these moments that only we hold. The childhood of my daughter, for whom I waited and waited, is beyond precious to me. And like a wonderful novel, I’m constantly balancing between wanting to savor every page and racing to see how it all turns out. Because someday, she will be an adult and sleeping…

    Do you know how to have an Abiding Love?

    June 14, 2016 /

    Can I just have a minute to speak into your soul today? I want to talk to you about the kind of love I hope you have today, the kind of love I hope you have everyday, an abiding love. Abiding love is safe, enduring, permanent, sacrificial love. Our worship pastor once read to us from John 15, verses about abiding love, the love of the Father that Christ demonstrated for us through his life of purity and sacrifice. And I just wanted to sit down in the middle of those verses and ABIDE. Like curve into an cozy chair by the fire, swathed in a rich blanket. Abide means…

    Valentine’s Day Tradition to Show Kids True Love

    February 4, 2016 /

    Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays as a parent. That might sound strange because Valentine’s Day is usually thought of as a romantic holiday, BUT we started this sweet tradition several years ago. My daughter was just old enough to start understanding that there was a holiday, and it involved presents and chocolate. I mean, what else does a girl need to know? She was all in. But I wanted to find just the right way to celebrate Valentine’s Day as a family. When I saw John 3:16 written so the word VALENTINE was created, I knew that was the message I wanted for her, because it is…
