Oh how fast the Summer can fly when you're swimming, camping and vacationing! And it's so easy to let our time in God's word be neglected. How much harder for our kids to keep their time in the Word if they're not being encouraged by their parents. So here's just a few thoughts on how parents can help their kids cultivate their walk with God. 1) Make devotions a part of your ... Read More »

Practical cups of cold water
I share this post after having been on the receiving end of encouragement for the last month.

But what I do want to talk about today is what to do when fear ... Read More »
While I’m sleeping…….
My sister came up from Atlanta this weekend to help us out on the home front since my Mom had to go back for some appointments. She has been so helpful to us and the kids love her being here.

A powerful question that can change the way you look at scripture
I love Margaret Feinberg because she always challenges me and stretches me in great ways through her articles, books and bible studies. A question she challenged people to ask in their personal time of Bible study back in February has been transforming my own personal study. It's pretty simple but extremely probing and revealing. So here's the question: What do you most need ... Read More »
Epic Mommy Moments
We've all had those Mommy memories that will forever be stamped in our minds. The ones we don't want to ever forget and the ones we'd pay big money to forget! Both are necessary in this journey called Motherhood. The precious memories keep us going and the hard and not fun memories make us stronger and our relationships deeper with our children. So whatever season of Motherhood ... Read More »
