Choosing Joy in Trials may be easier than you think!

Why Choosing Joy in Trials Might Be Easier Than You Think

We don’t choose faith to avoid trials. Our faith is made genuine through our trials. “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in …

Are You Letting Fear Masquerade as Wisdom?

Over Memorial Day weekend, my family enjoyed a 4-day camping trip at Sherando Lake in Virginia. There was zero service, so we were totally unplugged the entire time. It was glorious. On one particular day, we opted for a pretty strenuous hike. With our munchkins in tow (7, 4, and 2), my husband and I, …

When You Wonder if You Disappoint

Do you ever wonder if you disappoint God? Then keep reading … The wind swirls causing little wisps of hair to fall across her face.

Follow the Leader Isn’t Just a Kid’s Game

Everyday someone is watching us and many will imitate us. Not to mention, the ones we follow and imitate everyday. “Come here, kids. Come and circle around me so you can hear me. We are going to play a fun game called Follow the Leader!” It had been a long time since I’d watched a …

Do You Have the Courage to Live as Nothing?

Sometimes humility is the pathway to relief. After weeks of hard parenting moments, many, many tears, and very little margin to think adult thoughts, relief finally came. A friend gave me two options: take my kids for the afternoon or bring my family dinner that night. A mother-in-love showed up with an knowing heart, and …

When you come to the end of the day, can you say, "Not my will, but Your will be done"?

Not My Will but Your Will Be Done

“If you are not living in touch with God, it is easy to blame Him or pass judgment on Him. You must go through the trial before you have any right to pronounce a verdict, because by going through the trial you learn to know God better. God is working in us to reach His …

Homemaking is not meant to be done quickly. Do you need some Christian homemaking encouragement? Read this post.

Homemaking is Not Meant to Be Done Quickly

The cadence of a home is one that ebbs and flows with the seasons. The music changes with the flowers and snow. The tempo adjusts to the heat and the cold. We go, and we come. We stay, and we roam. We renew, and we revive. Or at least we should. We must slow down. …
