• I was sitting at my husband’s desk, very pregnant with our first child, when the results of my exam glared at me from his computer. “Fail” I had taken a major exam that was critical for my career, and we had been waiting weeks for this moment.  A “pass” meant I could move forward.  A

  • “Be the woman who fixes another woman’s crown and doesn’t tell the world that it was crooked” I ran across this quote several months ago.  I loved it so much that I posted it on the wall in my closet where I can see it everyday. I love the thought that as children of God,

  • In the New Testament, we read several incidents where Jesus cast out demons.  As He approached these individuals, the demons inside of them would cry out to Jesus by name or identify Him as the son of God, begging for mercy.

Instead, she would narrate her memories of giving birth to me. Am not exactly sure why she vividly remembered every detail of

  • My 5 year-old figured out my husband’s smartphone password, so all the apps and games were within easy access for my little man.  He was so quick at grabbing the phone that we would be in constant search for it. There was no telling where my son was hiding with it. So, in an effort

  • My kids love helping in the kitchen.  Well, scratch that.  They really love helping in the kitchen when it’s something that THEY want to eat- usually desserts but sometimes dinner.  When they hear me start to prep, they run into the kitchen (especially my daughter) , frantically asking “Can I help? Can I help??” (I
