If this has happened in your family, I want to give you a (virtual) hug and tell you that I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling because of your child’s choices, choices that are completely out of your control. There is no more helpless...

One day we will stand on level ground, before the Savior of our souls. Side by side. And we will see that we weren’t really that different after all!

If you're feeling depressed, remember that you're not alone. God is with you always. Don't be afraid to reach out to people in your family, your church, or your friend circles. Ask them to pray with and for you, and continue to pray each day,...

We have an amazing calling as parents. It doesn’t end just because they become young adults.

I was not capable of raising godly children, and I was never called to raise godly children.

No matter who you are, if you are a God follower, His love can flow through you into the lives of others

If the person does not feel they did anything wrong and assures you that you have misunderstood them, you must then take it at face value and move on.

The Church. It can be a confusing place at times. You walk through the front doors expecting people to somehow be different than the outside world. You expect loyalty, friendship, sensitivity, and an extended hand. You expect compassion, ...

Please enable me to see how important my calling of being a mom really is. Please help me to learn how to best love my children, that they might come to know you, and that I will not bring reproach on You, my Savior, whose name I bear.

As Christian women we can tend to evaluate each other with a critical eye.

While reading through the book of John, I have been hit with some sobering reminders. Conviction’s arrow has pierced my heart as I see how my way of viewing life can subtly become more conformed to this world, than to having the mind of Christ.

It’s easy to have expectations of how we are supposed to be treated or what we are supposed to experience when we walk into a church. When our experience doesn’t match those expectations it can be confusing. I find it interesting that much of the...

That night I knew that God wanted me to learn His definition of joy. Not merely an intellectual knowledge of the definition. No. that's not what He wanted for me. He wanted it to be my heart and soul, down deep experience. He wanted me to...

My favorite setting to practice caring for others is my home. We are all called to practice hospitality. No matter the size of your home, it is a place where you can choose to love others.

Yes! I've been very blessed to have had a few really good friends in my 57 years of life. God has used each one in my life, and I pray that I was used in their lives as well. But as I think through my history, each friendship has been for a short...

God is still alive and active in the lives of believers, and even though it can be easy to focus on those who have hurt us, who have steered into bad doctrine, or haven't represented God well, we need to focus on God, His character, His purpose,...

Those things that God has established, and the countless ways He has been faithful in our lives, will be the examples that we can share to encourage the next generation. It is the rope we can offer them when they can't see what God is doing in the...
