My husband and I go to counseling. Yes, you read that right. Counseling. There are several reasons why we go. In today’s blog post, I will share the reasons.

Confession time. I spend too much time on my phone.  Text. Facebook. Email. Voxer. Instagram. Twitter. I love social media but too often I find myself wasting time on it and feeling frustrated as a result. And unfortunately that frustration leaks out and those I love are affected too. Which is why I knew I needed to read Calm, Cool, and Collected: 5 Digital Habits for a More Balanced Life by Arlene Pellicane. In today’s post, I will share the three things I learned from this book.

The sun beat down but she continued to work anyway. As Ruth worked, she may have wondered “Does anyone notice me?” The answer was yes. Ruth was definitely noticed and her life was about to change that day.

Wow! It’s already September! We enjoyed a full but fun August. How did your August go? Today is my monthly Friday Favorites post where I share my five favorites from the previous month. Traditions, Back to School and Birthdays are just a few of my favorite things from this past month. Read on to see what my other favorites are.

Juicy red yumminess. I couldn’t wait to eat it for dinner that night. Caleb insisted on carrying the big watermelon in. He walked slowly into the house. And then the mess happened.

Have you ever met someone who is always joyful, never stops praying and is thankful in everything? Me neither. I’d love to be this way but it seems so impossible. Does it mean we ignore these commands in the bible? No. In today’s post, we will look at each command and share how doable it is to obey these commands.

For years, I tried to handle things on my own. I reasoned that I could figure life out. I didn’t need any help. And then I met Jesus my freshman year of college. I learned that I do in fact need help and where to turn when I need help. I am so thankful that I don’t have to life alone. But all too often, I fall back into the old pattern of feeling like I don’t need help. Maybe you can relate? The other day, the Holy Spirit used my daughter Analiah to remind me where to turn when I need help.

As parents, we have the amazing privilege of praying for our children. Praying for your child's school is so important. This is something my husband Jonathan and I take very seriously.  At the beginning of each school year, we go on a prayer walk as a family around our children’s schools. In today’s post, I will share the why, how and what of our prayer walk.

Every now and then that feeling comes. The feeling of wanting to give up. You just can’t seem to get ahead, so why bother? Today, I want to share a story with you about how a game of Candyland encouraged me to not give up.

Renewed, Refreshed and Restored. These are the 3 R’s of She Speaks Conference and the words that describe how I felt after being there. God worked in my heart in so many ways. Today, I want to share with you how I have been renewed, restored and refreshed.
