Praying for Your Child's Future Mate
I’m not sure how much I actually prayed about finding a mate when I was in college. Lucky for me, my husband and his mom were consistently praying for God to provide a mate. Ben and I “just happened” to be in the same psychology class. And well, the rest is history. 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.

God, Help My Child Find Their Niche
We have tried A LOT of activities for the boys over the years. When my children were younger, I tried to keep in mind:

Truth in the Midst of Disappointment
Recently, my son received some disappointing news. Of course, my mama heart hurt for him. After some time had passed, I said to him “Always remember that God cares deeply about you. In times of discouragement or disappointment our enemy wants us to doubt God’s love, care and goodness.”
And this girl has had to learn how to preach God’s Word to her heart in times of disappointment as well... Read More

Praying for Our Children
Maybe your child is struggling? I'm so sorry. Currently, I am trying to support and pray a couple of my children through some struggles.
