    I made the mistake of buying my husband a bluetooth speaker for Father’s Day. By mistake I mean I’ve probably used it more than he has. Needless to say as I was playing music one morning Mercy Me’s “Even If” started playing. The chorus says, I know You’re able And I know You can Save…

    We have been doing a lot of work in our house lately. I commented the other day that I felt like I have worked harder since being out of school for the summer than I did teaching. As I was working the other day the verse from Ecclesiastes 9:10  about might came to my mind.…

    Father’s Day was on Sunday and as I went through the day I saw a variety of online posts about fathers. Some were good and some were not so good. In fact some were downright ugly. The Ugly Recently, one of my male coworkers jokingly made the statement “I have no kids… that I know…

    This topic is something that has been on my heart for a while. However, it really hit me the other day when I was listening to Pandora the other day and Casting Crown’s “If We Are The Body” came on. In this song both of the verses speak of someone entering the church and there…

    The idea for this post hit me earlier this week as I put on tennis shoes with my work close for the second week in a row. Being required to do something that I previously judge others for has made me humble. You see, since delivering my daughter I have had a series of health…

  • Having a Good Memory: Blessing or Curse?

    I have come to realize that I have a very good memory. It is not quite photographic, but probably very close to it. I am able to remember certain events very distinctly; from my feelings, to the looks on others’ faces, to the reactions from an event. Over the years this has been both a…

    As my tagline states, this blog is dedicated to encouraging mothers, teachers, wives, and those in the ministry. This will probably be one of the few posts that covers all four of those areas in one. It is also something that I have both struggled with and benefited from over the years. Teachers I am…

  • There’s Nothing Like His Presence

    I was at a baby shower over the weekend and they had worship music playing in the background. At one point  “Your presence is Heaven to me” began playing and it just stuck with me. My plan was to request that we sing it for worship on Sunday morning, but when I walked to the…

    I have always joked that I share the other half of my mother’s brain. If we are out together and she is searching for the right word, I can supply it. If she forgets what’s on her schedule for next week, I can remind her. In my few years of adulthood, I have realized the…

    Many of us have heard the saying “when God closes a door, he always opens a window.” It is a nice catchy little saying; a platitude to be spoken when something doesn’t go the way you had planned or hoped. It never really meant all that much to me until now. While we were on…
