Pray. Give. Go... or DIsobey.
I loved when missionaries would visit my church when I was a little girl. I knew I would see slides of foreign lands, hear stories about the people in those countries, and maybe get to hear someone speak in a different language. When the offering plate was passed, I happily gave a dollar from my piggy bank, hoping that it would bless the missionary and their work for the Lord. All this fascinated me, but deep down I felt nervous when missionaries came to visit. Was God callin
The Blessings of His Steadfast Love
My Bible study this year is studying The Book of Psalms, and it has amazed my soul to see God’s steadfast love. I believe when we soak in God’s steadfast love and meditate on His agape love, obedience comes as a desire. When I look at His wondrous works and see the majesty of His hand upon creation, it brings His light and His passion for His own front and center within my heart. Does obedience for any of us come easy? I don’t believe so. I think it is exceedingly hard to foc
The Vulnerability of Obedience
I remember Michelle sending out an e-mail about a ladies’ mentoring group that was going to be starting. If I was interested, the email said, I could read about it and see if it was something I could commit to. The program involved reading a book a month, meeting with women (I may or may not know) and growing in my faith. I thought, “This is going to be tough, but I really think this is something I could learn from.” I told my husband I really wanted to do it, and he said, “P

Saying "Yes" to God in an already busy season
Christmas is a time of celebration and fun! But, as women, if we are being honest, it can be a stressful time of year.

You are Stronger Than You Think
My husband Tommy and I will celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary this month. Time truly does go by so quickly! We have four children, ages 32 to 22, and three grandchildren ranging from 3 years to just 2 months old. Spending time with my grandchildren often takes me back to when my own kids were little. 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. Early on,
