Sharing some helpful thoughts for women in the work world or those pondering going back to work from Elisabeth Elliot and Carolyn Mahaney: “Because I want to be faithful to what Scripture does say I often refer to that passage which tells me, as an older woman, what I am supposed to say to younger…
Amber & Josh with Trisha Ramos as a Deeper Conference 2008 Excerpt below taken from Fish with Trish Frequently Asked Questions Page:“One of the greatest signs of being born again is to have the desire/boldness to speak the Word of God and to tell others about his glorious gospel (Acts 4:31). A biblical woman is a…
Take a moment with me ladies to remember back to the early days of marriage. You loved to see your husband’s face, hear his voice, and feel his touch. Just to be near him, hold his hand, or delight in a long sweet conversation. Laughing together, taking long walks, love notes, sweet phone calls and…
I want to address those readers out there that are overwhelmed. Maybe you’re the reader who is drowning in clutter and chaos. Maybe you’re the reader who has some semblance of order but just can’t seem to get anything productive done from day to day to keep the clutter and chaos under control,…
Sometimes when we’re reading a Homemaking Series, we might think the ladies who write these have every part of their lives together. Let me be the first to tell you; I don’t have it all together. Some people may say I’m hypocritical by writing about something I haven’t mastered in my own life,…
The skill of homemaking seems to be a lost art in our world today. We have tools and gadgets our great grandmothers couldn’t of imagined to make our lives easier and more efficient and we seem to have less time in the care and upkeep of our homes. Most of us in my generation…
I’m having a mom moment today and I’m going to write this post as if I’m talking to my daughter. It may offend some but I believe it will resonate well with most of us who desire to live out the mandate of Titus 2:3-5 that the Lord laid out for us in…
Several years ago when my daughter was married, and we only had my son living at home with us, a Christian friend of mine asked me what I was going to do now that my kids were grown. I didn’t hesitate but answered that I was going to continue to live out the…
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 My daughter just had her second baby a little over a month ago, so she now has two both under 19 months. I want to share what I…
Many years ago when I was just a young girl in school, I remember taking a class called Home Economics. It went over basic home keeping skills, sewing and cooking. I grew up with a stay-at-home mom, and most of my female family members were stay-at-home moms. I do not come from a Christian…
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4 I am writing through tears as I am asking for prayer for our family as we are mourning the loss of my…
Amber & Josh with Trisha Ramos at the 2008 Deeper Conference Do you find yourself asking questions like – How can I share my faith when I am so nervous? or afraid? Can I share the Gospel and be a biblical woman? What is biblical repentance? Fish with Trish has a great page of Frequently Asked Questions that…
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. ~ Ephesians 5:15-16 I love turning the calendar and starting fresh for the new year. Making lists and planning goals are tasks I look forward to with much…
The quality of self-control is one that is important in every season of our lives. It is not just for spiritual leaders, but as the verse below states (Titus 2:3-5), the older women are told to model this virtue and to teach it to the younger women. This is a topic that…
Please visit Part One of Loving Our Children here. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate Psalm 127:3-5 When we think…
There is a favorite book I turn to often to look for encouragement in my role as a wife and mother. God’s Word is always my first destination but a book that I came across several years ago is Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney. Carolyn is looking at our role as Titus 2 women and…
Inside: Moms, our days are busy, and before we know it, our heads are hitting the pillow, and we realize we haven’t spent any time in God’s Word. Daily reading of our Bible is essential, but we also need to take the time to study God’s Word. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful…
Inside: What does it look like to live a fruitful life in the empty nest years? What do I do now? What does my day-to-day life look like? Am I needed anymore? These are questions that raced through my mind as the empty nest season approached and was quickly upon me. What does it look…
