Finding Margin in the Everyday
As summer break wraps up and a new school year starts, I’m looking forward to getting back into a routine. I love summer. I love the energy the kids bring to the house during the day. I love the fun things summer has to offer. But we can also easily find ourselves...
Practicing the Presence of God in the Summer Chaos
Summer is in full swing, and perhaps you feel like it is slipping through your fingers, and you aren’t accomplishing all you hoped. In our modern society, busyness seems to be a badge of honor. If you aren’t involved in multiple activities, camps, vacations, VBS...
Freedom Parenting In a World of Fear
One of the biggest challenges of being a Christian mama is that our kiddos are daily facing the ramifications of living in a dark and fallen world. The question is, how does that challenge impact the way we parent? Is it our job to protect our kids from anything that would harm them and choose to parent from fear, or equip them to face whatever opposition they might face and parent from a place of freedom?

What Do I Do With Anxious Thoughts?
Do you enjoy waiting in lines? Have you been to Disney World recently? If you have, you probably used their handy app showing all the rides and attractions and the estimated wait times. The last time I was in the parks, the app was a lifeline to help us make the...
How Well Are You Waiting On God?
If you’re like me, there tends to be a lot of hand wringing or impatience while I wait. Even though I trust God for my salvation, my mind often works overtime trying to find satisfactory solutions when life hands me unexpected circumstances. So how can we learn to wait well?
One Load of Laundry at a Time
Is there any occupation more fraught with humility and sacrifice than motherhood? Surely there is, but it escapes me at present. A mother’s life is a sacrificial life, if it’s done right. On the job 24/7, 2 am feedings, diapers . . . oh so many diapers, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, oh my! And laundry. A moment of silence, please . . . The question is, however, does this self-sacrifice work humility in us?
Truth Based Parenting

Teaching your children the Old and New Testaments, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the single most important thing you can do for your kids. Showing them how they fit in God’s story gives them meaning and a purpose for life that isn’t all about them. It’s much much bigger.
Forgiveness: The Hardest Command But the Deepest Healing
Let’s be honest—nothing tests our faith quite like forgiveness. When the wounds of hurtful words run deep and harmony with one another feels out of reach, forgiveness can feel impossible. But woven throughout Scripture is a radical command: release the offense—not because we excuse the pain, but because Christ has first forgiven us.
I Need to Trust Jesus But I Really Want Control
I wish there was a simple check list that we could follow that would help us find peace during seasons of uncertainty and suffering, but unfortunately, I’ve learned that it’s not that easy. Instead, I have learned that peace during difficult times comes with truly believing the promises of God and trusting Him for provision, even if we can’t understand His plan.
