              I recently read a book called “In Love”.  It was written by Dr. Bud Calvert, who was a pastor for thirty-five years and is still in ministry today.  If you are looking for a book about marriage that is not overly long but still full of meat, you might enjoy reading “In Love”.               Some things in the book

  “In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord.” Ephesians 2:21   Josh and I are blessed with a close-knit church family.  I was especially reminded of this with the recent arrival of our second son, Joash.  Any time something is happening for us, big or small, our church family is right

I am a list nerd.  My planner is like a list of lists, each one keeping me on track with various things like grocery shopping, cleaning projects, or thank-you notes.  A couple weeks ago I was thinking how my lists probably drive some people crazy because I literally implement them for just about everything.  They provide me with clarity of

PC: AbigailWernerPhotography Life for me is never dull.  While some days are more exciting than others, none of them are actually boring.  I’m a child of God, a ministry wife, and a mom.  This is my job, my life.  The world looks at my job description and either scoffs at me or pities me.  I, on the other hand, am

         I hope that you all had a happy resurrection Sunday!  Ours was nice and simple.  It was a great day to remember the victorious triumph of Jesus Christ.  As Christians, we have much to praise the Lord for!  We are blessed to serve a risen Savior!  Today I thought I would take a moment to share an everyday glimpse

“Home” means different things to each of us.  For some, home is where you grew up.  For others, home is on wheels!  And for others – like me – home can refer to more than one place or people group at the same time.  For me right now, home is the sweet little house that my husband and I are

                Don’t all ladies like to feel pretty?  In my mind, there’s a difference between feeling pretty and looking pretty.  When I have a fresh pedicure, I instantly feel prettier but that doesn’t mean that someone else will notice a difference.  To me, feeling pretty gives a boost of self-confidence when I am lacking.  It helps me be the

Recently I have been preparing for a July Bible study with my older church girls.  The theme of the lessons will be “Securely Woman”, based on a book I found from Striving Together Publications.  In pondering how this theme affects every aspect of our lives as women, something really clicked for me that I wanted to share with you!
