He loves me anyway
Prayer is the place where I’m invited to present the parts of myself that no one else sees to a God who already knows and loves me anyway. Margaret Feinberg Do you ever go to battle with yourself? I do. I make plans (good plans) and God changes them. I liked my plans and consider going…
Holy Housewives- Week One
I am excited to dive into this book with you and look at the premise and the message the book, Passionate Housewives Desperate for God, teaches. It is not a coincidence that while I am reading about being a keeper of the home, I encountered some strong opinions (on both sides of “the camp“), during…
Monkey see…monkey do?
I know I have said this before but raising teenagers is hard with a capital H. With summer comes a lot more invitations for the kids to go to this person’s house, to spend the night with so and so and go play with this group. Most of the time I encourage the group to…
Back to submitting
I spent a lot of time broken before God (and my hubby) last night and this morning. It is a long story but it boils down to my flesh wanting something (really bad), rationalizing why it would be a great thing for me to do (for my blog, for my ministry, for ME, ME, ME),…
Sleeping with the dogs

Teen Internet Safety
I had the privilege of attending the 5th annual National Teen Internet Safety Summit, hosted and sponsored by Cox Communications. While it was an enjoyable event, I was far more impressed by how educational it was. I want to share some of the statistics I learned with you. As the moderator, John Walsh, said “Knowledge…
Moving past your past
Since I was pregnant when my {now} husband and I met, you would think that we would both have been comfortable about each other’s sexual past when we got married. You would think wrong. He had a difficult time knowing that I had been promiscuous since a young age and I had a difficult time…
Trust and Obey
There has been a lot of buzz around the blogosphere regarding this challenge for married women. I grew up influenced by my very liberal grandmother. She has a PhD in political science and has experienced a great deal of success and advancement in her career. I love and respect her for that. And I…
