"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." 2 Corinthians 4:7
I was interviewed on a podcast in July, and at the end I was asked if I had any book recommendations for women. I think I could have spent another podcast just sharing a variety of books, how they have encouraged my heart, and why I would love to see other women pick them up... Continue Reading →
I often remind my own heart that the only way I can have a right perspective of my life is if I have a right perspective of God. And the only way I can have a right perspective of God is through the daily pursuit of reading and meditating on the Word of God. When... Continue Reading →
“There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 I’m so thankful for the actual seasons that God has given to remind us of this eternal truth! Of course, my husband would argue that the seasons are a part of the curse. As he will tell you, when... Continue Reading →

Yesterday afternoon, Samuel and Faith walked across a stage and officially graduated from James Valley Christian School. Their courses and work were completed almost two months ago…but there is something to be said about a walk across a stage or field, a handshake from the principle, a diploma in hand and the flip of a...

We have a swallow’s nest above our backyard garage door. Yes, a newbie homeowner mistake, for sure. We should have torn it down the second they started building! The droppings are horrible and having birds dive-bombing around our heads when we try to go out the back door makes us wish we had fought harder... Continue Reading →
“We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 I love this verse and will often preach it to my own heart. Yet, if I am not careful, it’s easy to define "good" by my own standard. Good, to me,... Continue Reading →
