What will my children remember as adults when they look back on their childhood? Everyone does it... everyone looks back on how they were raised and with memories of how their parents were "so in love" or "not." what [...]

Comparing: A Trap to be Wary Of!

I find power, exhortation, and inspiration in knowing God made me well for what I do and God made my husband well for what He does.  Together, married, working together to build one another up instead of comparing and mentally tearing one another down... you can be a strong team.  Isaac and I are two very different people; with different gifts, talents and callings, but we love each other and work at our marriage.  We [...]

The Danger in Comparing Our Roles in Marriage

What Age is a Titus 2 Woman?

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

The Importance of a Mentor

As a young lady I was always drawn to gleaning wisdom from older women.  That part of me has never changed.  I would venture to say that deep down inside of every woman is a desire to have an older woman speaking encouragement and trustworthy wisdom into our lives.  Someone who has been there... down that old familiar road.  For me, I know I need encouragement from older moms who are nearing their home schooling [...]

A young mom recently asked me when I got motivated and began pursuing personal growth for my “job” as a home maker & mom.  Well when I became a personally responsible for my relationship with the Lord at age 15 I began this journey of personal growth, so I guess I’ve always had that desire within in me... I think that deep down we all have that yearning desire within us.  I believe it is [...]
