Turn Worries Into Prayers
I know without a doubt that I have a tendency to worry. I have a list of worries concerning my family and I am sure many of you do too. When I start rehearsing my worries over and over or when I start dwelling on the “what-ifs”, I need to make a shift. I need to shift from worry mode to prayer mode. Read More
Our Kids' Friendships
We moved in July and I am reminding the boys to be discerning with new friendships because they are vulnerable. And we have learned the hard way that we also have to be careful with friendships in the church. Youth in the church can be heading down a path of compromise as well.

Waiting On The Lord
I wish I could have coffee with each of you and hear about your life. If we were having coffee, this is what I would share with you. We’ve only been in Texas for 6 months but at times it feels like we’ve been here for 2 years. I guess that’s because my children aren’t thriving yet. It takes time. And in the waiting my heart needs reminders. Maybe you are waiting on the Lord as well? Read More
Our Husbands' Work-Life Balance
We have experienced stretches when my husband did not have good “work-life” balance. I was able to be supportive most days because I knew his heart was to have better balance and to keep his family as his top priority after God. Read More
