My Life

Seasons of Hospitality

April 13, 2011

In my childhood home, hospitality was both an art form and a well-developed science. With up to 4 teenage daughters at once, my mother could host dozens or just a few with style and grace. We were quite a team – one daughter loved to prepare gourmet meals, another’s specialty was homemade rolls. My younger…

Encouragement for Moms who Fail

April 6, 2011

So, there I was, crying out to God in the shower. I turned from ranting to Him about how I didn’t have enough time to meet with Him, to ranting about what a failure I was. I was so tired of failing, so tired of not being the mom I wanted to be, of yelling…

Two Mites Is All I’ve Got, God!

April 4, 2011

It was the first 2 minutes I’d had to myself all day.  I’d been racing around all day, getting the kids ready to go to Grandmas and myself ready to go out with Jeremy for the evening and trying to leave the house in some semblence of order – oh, and cooking breakfast, lunch, and…

Best Marriage Advice EVER

March 10, 2011

I was privileged to attend Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage Seminar last October with Jeremy. I have never laughed so hard while ingesting such sound Biblical counsel. That is why I was delighted to hear that he would be on Focus on the Family this week. I just finished listening to…

Moles and Wooly Bears

March 4, 2011

My attempt at making time for my writing in my life. Love this gal’s writing prompts. You should try it, and if you do, leave a comment so I know to hop over and read YOURS! “When I look in the mirror, I see…” My Father’s bushy, dark eyebrows that I have to pluck and…

Jeremy Blogs!

February 19, 2011

Those who know my husband, Jeremy, know he is a man of few words, and that when he does speak, it’s usually worth listening to. Just wanted to let my readers know that he has written a guest post over on our friend Katie’s blog, Not Unredeemed.  In his post, “You Don’t Need a Fairy…

Valentine’s Day at our House: For the Husband

February 14, 2011

To the man who has given his all to be my everything. To the boy who followed wisdom, who sowed good seed instead of wild oats. Who stored up passion and dreams to lavish on someone he hadn’t yet met. Who bought a diamond for one who was nameless. Who learned skills and drew plans…

A Response to Evangelical Feminism, Part 1

December 28, 2010

I didn’t know there was such a phrase. I didn’t know there was a name for a subject I am passionate about.  If you know me, you know I’m passionate about the woman’s role in her home, and about being a “SAHM”, and about exposing the feminist lies that have snuck into even conservative Christian…

Brief Supplications

October 25, 2010

Are there people on your prayer list that it hurts to pray for? Maybe you’re praying for them because you know you need to love them more, and you know prayer towards them can change your heart. God says, “pray for those who hate you”. But maybe they haven’t hurt you, but just thinking of…
