"...whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." Serving. We are ...

It's been pretty quiet here for quite a while! Other than a few new posts over the last year, I've mostly recirculated older content on social media from time to time. There are several reasons for the quiet season, not the least of which is just being a busy mama (and Lovey!) We are still plugging ...

I've always implemented "morning time" in our homeschool, and guarded it passionately. But the book, Morning Time, A Liturgy of Love, has been a tremendous blessing to our family, confirming why it's so important, explaining what it is, and loaded with ideas AND actual resources right in the book for your morning time!

Often, once kids leave home, they are bombarded by different ideas and beliefs, and have their faith challenged by questions to which they don't have the answer.

I'm about to just lay it out there. Transparent. All the ugly. The Lord really convicted me, all of a sudden, late one night. And I want to share it with you because I know I'm not the only one who struggles. It's hard being a woman. It's even harder when you live in a culture like ...

I didn't want this day to come. But here it is. Your heart has been shattered into a million pieces and I stand here watching, helplessly, but I can not put it back together. You think I don't understand--that I don't feel exactly what you're feeling. But I do. I have had a broken heart and ...

Last week my sweet friend, Jennifer Ross at Confidently Called, and I, had a conversation on her podcast prompted by a fabulous book I'm reading called Ordinary.
