My Favorite Benefit to Homeschooling…………Being Home! Pretty simple, but after years of public school, traveling a good distance to take our kids to a Christian school, and before and after school activities galore, being home was such a blessing. I shared previously that we didn’t homeschool our son until he was in eighth grade so it…
The Gospel Call & True Conversion is the second book in a three part series called “Recovering the Gospel” by Paul Washer and is published by Reformation Heritage. My first introduction to Paul Washer was many years ago through his Shocking Youth message. As a family we were drawn to his ministry because of the…
We are saying goodbye today to some dear friends from Norway who have spent the last several weeks with my daughters family. My son-in-law Ruben and Ole met online through Ruben’s Norwegian Christian website Omvendt several years ago. There are not too many like-minded believers in Norway so when you come across one another you…
I’m sending you today to A Wise Woman Builds Her Home to an impactful post and a good reminder in today’s world of more is better. “I love that home is that place where everything slows down. That we can control the pace, the temperature, and the culture there away from the busyness of the…
Several months ago I shared my abortion story on my blog. The Lord prepared the hearts of my children to hear this painful and ugly part of my past and brought me into a ministry of crying out for the lives of the unborn in my neighborhood. I want to share with you today what…
As a young believer I was thankful for those the Lord put in my life to encourage me to spend time daily in His Word. Sometimes it was through books I read and many times it was in seeing the difference in the lives of Christians that spent time at the feet of Jesus….
These past several weeks I have been thankful for the opportunity to minister on the sidewalk at our local abortion mills. It has been a blessing and has brought back memories that used to be difficult but not anymore because of the work of Jesus Christ in my life. You can listen in to my…
The other evening I just had some good time to chat with my son, Josh, about many things, faith, home, his work, future hopes and dreams. As we were chatting I felt compelled to share with him something of my past that I hadn’t shared with him before. It was an ugly part of my…
There are many people out there who function just fine without a daily to-do list to check off. They never miss an engagement, phone call, or grocery item but I am not one of them. Every list starts with the top three items I am hoping to accomplish for the day and the…
Some great links to visit this month to encourage you on your journey in memorizing God’s Word. I love that reminder – we are not just memorizing words from a page but the very Words of God!! Here is an article from Revive Our Hearts called Scripture Memorization: Help to Get You Started …
I have been enjoying my time in this beautiful book where Nancy Leigh DeMoss continues to take me into the scriptures to reveal God’s desire for us to have joy – true joy – deep and profound that can stand up through all circumstances and situations. Along with reading it through (very slowly I might…
A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world’s perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where…
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…
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:3-4 …
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…
I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 2 Timothy 1:5 As a new grandmother, this verse has encouraged me in the role the Lord has given me to pass on my faith…
The beautiful book, The Valley of Vision, has become a part of my daily time with the Lord. I am thankful to have the prayers of the puritans to guide me in my petitions to the Lord. It was not written as a prayer manual but I have learned much by praying the prayers of…
This is our fourth month in Colossians and I am hoping we still have some ladies with us. I am working slowly and strategizing new ways to keep my memorizing fresh and steady. I have been walking in the mornings since the weather has been so beautiful and taking my verses along. Walking early makes it nice…
