I first discovered She Reads Truth through this particular study that our group really enjoyed. In fact, we wished for more video clips with Amanda and Rachel but that's not what they're about. Not that they would think that's wrong or anything but if you read much of their purpose statement you'll see quickly they want women in the word of God for themselves. They believe the ...

Peace in the Process
My blogging friend Kristin Hill Taylor has had my attention for the last few years. I love her writing style and her heart most of all. Down to earth. Real. Busy Mama. Jesus-follower. And not afraid to talk about the messy parts of life. I love how she takes us down whatever road she's walking at that time. This is why I read Kristin Hill Taylor's blog. But there's another ...

“Free of Me”
I read some great books in 2017 and wanted to share about one of them today. Free of Me by Sharon Hodde Miller is a brilliantly deep yet practical book to read. I'll be honest, it's not an easy read because she hits on some hard areas that can sneak up on us if we're not careful. But exposure to what is keeping us from a closer relationship to Jesus is a good thing. Sharon ... Read More »

Book loves in 2015

I wanted to share in case you find any of them interesting yourself. Hoodwinked - A great book on Motherhood. I found it perfect for the Mom with small children at home although I gleaned good ...

Shoot! Did it again…..
You guys! I ruined yet another meal and had another kitchen-freak-out-moment. So much so that our eight year old wrote out a prayer for me to put in her War Room - "Dear God, help my Mom not to be so frustrated. Amen." Arggghhhhhh!!!!!! I hate it when that happens. I mean.....I'm ever so thankful for the opportunity of growth and maturity that lies before me. (bull) So ... Read More »
The Fault In Our Stars and a response to teens.
I've seen this book around and heard teen girls talk about how awesome it is for quite a while now. It made the New York Times Best Seller List and according to Movie ticket seller Fandago, "The Fault in Our Stars" broke the record for the biggest pre-selling love story in the company’s 14-year history. I admit it. I was curious. Curious as to what teen girls are reading these ... Read More »
