“There are those that read the Bible and then there are those that believe it.” When I was young, my father would sit at our dining room table with stacks of Bibles and Bible Commentaries. From the NIV to ASB, we had most versions. The table looked like it was meant at a library, not […]

The other night, I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. This rarely happens to me. I felt something squeezing my heart, almost choking me. My eyes stared into the pitch black. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something didn’t feel right.Fear.That’s what it was. It was gripping me…here…in the […]

I didn’t understand.I didn’t get it. For eight years, I had worked with people that became family.We were a team. I can’t even explain the chemistry.They threw me baby showers.They wrote sweet cards for my birthday.We laughed together, we were there for each other. Then, one day, they announced that our company was being sold.We […]

“I think we’re more different than we are alike…” I brushed off my husband’s comment. I admit that I felt a bit hurt… but the more I thought about it, I realized he was right. I can sit through a Hallmark movie marathon, he prefers anything involving the Mafia. I like chicken, he likes steak. […]

A blanket of snow in Texas is a rare sight, so these past few days have been filled with moments of wonder….and discouragement. Among the thrills of soft white powder falling from our gloves and the squeals of young children came frozen pipes and electrical shortages. Not exactly the winter wonderland we were expecting.

These last twenty-four hours have been heartbreaking and mind-boggling. We never expected our year to start this way. We’re left feeling hurt, confused, frustrated, sad, and helpless. Can anyone relate? When we look into the Bible, Jeremiah is someone who could probably relate. As a prophet, he was called by God to denounce sin and […]

I can go three days without washing my hair. This is just one of my personal discoveries over the past few months while we were tucked away in our homes.  For a girl whose hair desperately needed a daily wash, this took a lot of willpower, but I realized that I’m okay, it’ll be okay, […]

Ever since my kids were babies, every night when I tuck them in, I repeat the same phrase. “Mama loves you, dada loves you, and Jesus loves you.  He has a plan and purpose for your life.” I know it seems juvenile, but I wanted them to hear that they were loved and that their […]

Last week, I took my kids to get their flu shot. Here’s a peek into my household: My daughter has been dreading this since her flu shot LAST year.  Almost every month over the past year, she would bring up how she didn’t want to get a shot. “Why do I have to get it?” […]

“Are you ready?” “Yes, Dad. I’m ready.” He was moments away from walking me down the aisle and giving me away. I can’t imagine how he was feeling. It must be quite daunting to let go of your daughter, yet fulfilling, to know you’ve done everything you can to raise your little girl into the […]
