I know He doesn’t look like the pictures I’ve seen since childhood. I know He loves me more than I will ever be able to fathom. I know that He cares about the details of my life, the lives of teen girls and the lives of all that read this. I know that He works…

We interrupt this blog for….
Vacation! I am in Florida visiting my family and having a grand time playing with this sweet nephew: I tell ya…this is the life! I will return to blogging next week. In the meantime, go read Betty’s take on our Holy Housewives book club pick this week and stay tuned for more pictures of my…
Miss(ter) Independent
There is a thirst for independence in teenagers. An unseen force, pulling them away from dependence on their parents and toward a future they don’t see or understand. Yet, they respond heartily to the call and pull of that force, while we parents want to fight it with every fiber of our soul. In a…
Silent Inflammation- Interview with Dr. Sears
Yesterday, I had the privilege to interview Dr. Barry Sears (MD), author of several books including New York Times bestseller, The Zone. As someone that lives with autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus), which have been linked to chronic inflammation, I had a lot of questions for the doctor and looked forward to hearing his…
Modern Day Miracle
Who would have thought that a rickety roller coaster and a sweltering day at a cheesy quaint amusement park could bridge huge holes of the heart? God.

The B-I-B-L-E
I remember my first Bible. It was a purple Precious Moments Bible with my name on it that someone {maybe a relative?} gave me when I was around eight. I treasured that Bible but can’t say that I read it much or understood what I did read. Thankfully, my kids have grown up in an…
God and teens
My kids enjoy church {right now}. They are active in their youth group and enjoy serving alongside their youth pastor in different ministry opportunities. They {sometimes} enjoy serving alongside their dad and I. So, why am I worried about their relationship with God? Statistics show that more than 50% of kids their age {13-17} attend…
How long must I wait?
I am battling an anxious heart. Not over anything major or even specific. But an unsettled, on-my-way-to-where-I’m-supposed-to-be type of place. Yet, I don’t even know where I’m supposed to be. I think I do. My hubby and I disagree about the route to take. And, I ask. How long, God? How long before you give…
