Creating Peace and Joy Where it Matters Most
This is a guest post from New York Times best-selling author, Lysa TerKeurst. I can relate to what she shares here and I think you will, too. We all come a little unglued some times . . . Lysa’s new book, Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions, was recently released, and she [...]
When I wrote my post about failing, I realized there was much I needed to give myself grace for, but I also noticed there were some areas in which I really needed to shape up. It seems that in most areas where I am struggling, a good dose of self-control could fix much of the [...]
Today was a good day. We didn’t do anything outstanding, just spent some good time together having fun. Not all days are like this. If I’m being completely honest, even today had it’s moments. Everyone was crying at one point! And I was a little too grumpy when they woke me up early this morning. [...]

This week the High Five Moms are sharing how they celebrate the true meaning of Easter with their families. I’m going to out myself again and tell you that I don’t do anything fancy on the actual holiday. I’m weird, I know. Yes, we enjoy each unique time of year and do our best to [...]
Have you ever read Proverbs 31 and ended feeling sad, mad, or, dare I say, jealous? Or maybe even defeated? I have! Yes, it’s partly my immaturity, I know, but I’m certain I’m not the only one who has felt this way. If you can relate, or simply just want to be the best woman [...]
Blessed and Loved. I felt blessed and loved on my birthday this year. A sweet family that paid attention to me. What more could I ask for? I can’t help thinking that without anything good, I could still be blessed and loved. I already have more than I deserve. Forgiveness. God blesses and loves His [...]
If you’re anything like most women, you’ve battled with your body image. In today’s society is it easy to place a lot of emphasis on our outward appearance. We’ve even come to find that we gain our self-worth from how we feel when we look in the mirror, or sadly, when we look at a [...]
