A Life Undaunted

October 29, 2018

I’ve been reading Beth Moore‘s Whispers of Hope devotional in my morning quiet time. On Day 18 we talked (I like to think of Beth as my close, personal Bible study buddy) about the certainty of our faith, and knowing, truly knowing that what we believe is grounded on eyewitness fact. We read through a […]

When You’re the Mother to Someone Else’s Child – Katie’s Story

February 5, 2018

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a family one day. I knew I would have two girls and two boys. I knew that they would have brown hair and blue eyes like me. And I knew that they would have peach-colored skin, just like mine. But when I finally married, I […]

How Do I Love My Children? Guest Post by Erin from Steps to Trusting

January 15, 2018

Often when I picture what our family life will be, I picture playing outside in the fall or cuddling before bed. I think that just being with my children conveys my love to them. But how do we love our children when life is not so picturesque? This is not a rhetorical question. How can […]

Have you ever received a phone call that turned your world upside down, inside out, and forever changed your life? As a parent, particularly as a mother, we worry about those calls when our children are young and are outside playing.

Why I Pray For My 12 Year-Old’s Wife NOW – Guest Post by Sheila Qualls

June 19, 2017

All little boys are in love with their mommies at some point. My son was no different. He asked me to marry him when he was five-years-old. At five, I was the center of his universe. I cared for his heart. He came to me when he was hurt, unhappy, afraid, or troubled. I cooked […]

5 Key Ways to Avoid Motherhood BURNOUT – Guest Post by Sandrine

June 5, 2017

I heard someone once said, “motherhood is sanctifying” and I totally agree. God uses parenting to sanctify us and make us more and more like Him. Before becoming a mother, I had no priorities, I lived carefree and I didn’t really take time to nurture myself. But this has changed now that I am a […]

Honor Those We Lead – Cathy’s Story

April 3, 2017

Today I had a “moment.” I lost my cool and switched faces with the person I never want to become. My “moment” involved Legos, my living room carpet, and a two-year-old who puts everything in her mouth. The Legos needed a more appropriate home. FAST. I loudly threatened to throw them away while chasing a […]
