Life Doesn’t Have to Become Unravelled When Mom Is Sick – 5 Things to Help Your Home Run Well When You Aren’t Feeling Well

I’m sick. Feeling like pooh (and I’m not talking about Winnie)! Sniffing, snorting, sneezing, fever, just-want-to-crawl-under-the-covers sick. Somewhere between chills and Kleenex, my blank mind wandered to a time when my children were young and being sick wasn’t something I had time for.  I wasn’t prepared. Proverbs 31:21 gives us an inside peek at the intimidating Mrs. Proverbs 31’s home life. “She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.” She wasn’t afraid of what lurked beyond the four walls of her house because, like a girl scout, Mrs. Proverbs 31 was ready.

3 Ways to Pray Consistently

This past Saturday, I had the whole morning to myself. My intent was to write.  I’ve had posts welling up inside of me for weeks and I couldn’t wait to sit at the computer in a quiet house and get those words on the screen. But, God had other plans. He asked me to kneel at his altar and pray. It wasn’t one of those rushed prayers of obligation. No, it was one of those flat on the floor, tears streaming, questions asking, heart-pounding prayers.  It was exhausting, dramatic, and releasing. Have you ever had a moment like that? When …

5 Questions We Are Asking Moms & 5 Questions We Are Asking Ministry Leaders

Recently, while I was speaking at an event, I scanned the sea of beautiful faces and was brought to tears. A church full of women worshipping God together. It was truly a beautifully breath-taking thing and I couldn’t help but think how it made God’s heart smile to see His daughters praising Him with one voice. I wondered about those precious women and where they had been that day – what their eyes had seen, what their hearts had felt. I wondered what they had been through, their hopes, their dreams, their insecurities, their failures. God has called the women on …

Bite Your Tongue

  My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, James 1:19 NIV Sometimes it is better for everyone involved if you just bite your tongue. Oh, I know, it’s not easy to do and believe me, this is something that I struggle with as a mom, wife…and well, as a person, but hear me on this- there is strength in not saying everything that comes to your mind.
