My Husband Was Correct
There are two topics that my husband has been trying to convince me. One I discussed in my ebook "A Quiet Time, Worth the Time." The second involves exercise. Before I go on, let me put things in perspective. There is not a person who has ever or will ever combine my name with words like athlete, marathon, or Olympic hopeful. To put it in ...
Have You Joined SISTERS?

God Has Given Me More Than I Can Handle
Pin It A very popular quote that you will hear Christians say during a times of grief and challenge is "God won't give you more than you can handle." Honestly, I used to believe this.

I Don’t Have to Stress Because….
Pin It Friends, I have been under spiritual attack. Attack towards me as a wife, as a mother, and as the fingers behind ABCJLM. It has been mounting for a few weeks but it finally hit the top on Friday. Other than days in which I have been overcome with extreme grief, Friday was the worse non-grief day I have ever had.

You Are Being Watched!!
Pin It God is showing my husband and I - in so many ways - the importance of how we act while our children are around. Because, we all know that values are caught and not as much taught. While reading during my quiet time, I found these verses in I Timothy 4: 11 Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let ...
We Need Girlfriends!
Pin It I have blogged several times about the importance of having godly women in your life. God made us relational for a reason. To be able to grow and stay strong as a mom, we need the support and love a close friend can give. I found this poem several years ago and wanted to share. A friend is one who STRENGTHENS you with ...
