Loving your enemies.
Do you have anyone in your life who you feel like you are just allowed to dislike? You know, that person who has hurt you more than anyone else has. Maybe they have said horrible things to you or about you that were completely unjustified or untrue. Maybe they hurt the people you love. You Continue reading

Mama like Jesus
Over my almost 16 years as a mother, I have had the privilege of reading many parenting books. I always opt for Christ centered books, and there are a wide variety that all offer something really, truly helpful. The classic, “What the Bible says about Child Training,” by J Richard Fugate, was probably the first Continue reading

The #tradwife trend.
I have been hearing so much about the #tradwife trend recently. It peaked my attention, as a Christian stay at home mom and wife. Now, as with any trend, there are some pitfalls in this movement. But there is real beauty to it too, and it is riling up the enemy in a big way. Continue reading
