As a child I was accustomed to falling asleep to the sound of my Mother’s voice as she read to my sisters and I. I have an older sister and a younger sister and for years we shared a bedroom. Three twin beds and a whole lot of pink! From the time we were old enough to listen, every night my mother read to us a chapter from a book. She read great books like The Hiding Place, Little Women, […]

There is so much gender confusion taking place in our world. Sadly, even Christian women are losing sight of the wonderful blessings and opportunities God has given them by making them a woman! The Proverbs 31 woman is such a wonderful example of what Christian womanhood should really be like. As shocking as it sounds, the Proverbs 31 woman was not born perfect or with the amazing characteristics that she is described as having. It took effort on her part […]

Writing a letter of encouragement can be frustrating when we aren’t sure what to say, and we don’t have the time. It’s much easier to type out a quick text: “You’re in my thoughts, I’m praying for you.” Insert emoji. Press send. Done. We’ve fulfilled Romans 12:15, Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Or have we? As believers who are thoughtful and love the Lord, we need to balance our desire to encourage and shine like a […]

Us moms know a thing or two about love. Or do we? Confession time: I struggle with loving my children the way I should. The selfish parts of me lash out at my children when they interrupt my “me time.” (Don’t they know I need time to myself?) And I lose patience when my youngest accidentally spills his glass of milk. (Why isn’t he more careful?) Sometimes I treat my children like little adults instead of the precious gifts and […]

Guess what!! I totally forgot to post my May review post! Normally, I try to write up rough drafts of posts to schedule ahead of time, but somehow, the last day of May slipped by without me even realizing that I hadn’t scheduled my review post! I guess posting it 3 days late is better than not posting it at all though, so here we are! Let’s take a quick look at a few highlights from the past month……. Listened […]

I have a question for you. In fact, it’s a question that I’ve been asking myself quite often. Are you missing the most amazing moments of your life? It’s been on my mind a lot lately…… The way that time slips by so fast. When I look at my family, specifically, my little siblings… Well, they’re not quite so little anymore! Even my youngest little baby bear seems like he’s turning into a man overnight. And it’s crazy to see. […]

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Whether you have been spending time with family or friends, attending picnics or graduations, simply relaxing at home, or any other number of things, I hope you have kept in mind the real reason behind this Memorial Day. Memorial Day isn’t just about picnics and family time and store sales and a paid vacation day from work. No, not at all. It’s a day dedicated to remembering the people […]

It’s exactly 7 AM and this post has just been published. (Shoutout to scheduled posting. You’re a life saver!) Right now, I’m most likely re-writing my daily to-do list, checking the weather forecast, figuring out a thousand last minute details, and praying that the day will go as smoothly as possible. Why? Well, today’s my graduation celebration. Yes. Graduation. Celebration. I still have a bit of math that I will need to review, but school has been finished, final testing […]

A blog award? Wow, I haven’t done one of those in forever. After I made the switch to business blogging, I had said that I was no longer going to be taking part in tags and awards. As you can see, today is going to be the exception! Several weeks ago, Olivia from Purely Olivia nominated me for the Unique Blogger Award. I wasn’t planning on doing it….. But then, due to a busy schedule, and having no writing inspiration […]

Memorizing scripture. I’m pretty sure it’s something that every Christian aspires to. And if not, it should be! Hiding God’s word in our heart is one of the keys to living a successful Christian life. But as we all know, it’s one of those things that can be a lot easier said then done. Yes, we know that memorizing passages of our bible is important. Yes, we know that we should be able to use memory verses to explain the […]
