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

Unreasonable Expectations of Motherhood
Being a mom is one of the greatest joy’s of my life. I have three girls and it still seems like yesterday they were all little, pretending to be mommies with their baby dolls and now two of them have babies of their own. I can so relate to the Father of the Bride scene when Steve Martin looks across the table at his grown daughter and all he sees in that moment is his 3 year old baby girl with her adorable smile and pig tails staring back at him. If you are a young mom, that
Mothering: It's Worth It
Do you remember the family series that Mid-Way did a couple of months ago? I can still remember the farming analogies and Pastor Grant saying, “Don’t quit. Don’t give up. It’s worth it.” Just recently, I feel like I’ve been clinging to that reminder. I am in a different life stage than a lot of you, but right now I find myself with two kids under three and another on the way! I need to hear “it’s worth it” everyday as I change the 10th diaper, redirect a toddler who’s having
Mothering to His Glory
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” As a little red-headed girl all I wanted to do was be a mom. I mothered puppies and abandoned bunnies and kittens that were born in my Grandparent’s barn. I fed them through eyedroppers, and they thrived. Whether you’re a mom or not, you still are mothering someone. Maybe it’s a niece or nephew, neighbor, or little one that you teach in sch
