Surrender
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In you’re your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 How do you respond when you are confused or afraid of the future? Anxiety disorders affect an estimated 42.5 million individuals annually of the adult population. We spend time discussing potential societal implications of this mental health decline such as the increased use of social media, a heavier weight/awarene
Cultivate
John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Earlier this month, I had the privilege of serving as a chaperone at our high school summer camp and spending time with many of the same 11th grade girls I have the opportunity to teach small group to throughout the year. The theme of camp was Cultivate, centered around John 15:5. Throughout the week, we were reminded that h

You are Stronger Than You Think

I remember those long days and sleepless nights so clearly! Tommy worked 24-hour shifts as a firefighter during the time we were raising our children, so I had to learn ve
Knowing When to Talk
Well here we go...Hang on! I have 6 children, that’s right, 6! Three girls and three boys, in that actual order ranging in age from 6 to 17. My youngest is a first grader, and my oldest is a Senior in High School! Be still my soul! I like to say we live a rich life! It is full of drama, adventure, comedy, and every emotion you can think of. I was pregnant for about 10 years straight and I remember the days of newborns and changing diapers in a complete blur.
