But the task… Continue reading Help! I Need a Speaker for a Women’s Ministry Event: Things to Consider

I’m a mom and a wife (a pastor’s wife at that). But I’m also a women’s ministry leader, Bible teacher, and writer. Luke 14:26 tells me that following Jesus requires me to forsake my family. However, Titus 2:4-5, tells me I’m to learn to love my husband and children and to work at home. So,… Continue reading Not Motherhood or Ministry: Living Faithfully in Both
Help! I still sin! Now what?!
When my oldest was a toddler, he asked me why I still sinned. Kids keep ya humble, right? I’ve walked with Jesus for most of my life, yet I still battle sin.

We’re Adopting (Again!)
We believe children are a blessing from the Lord (Ps. 127:3). As we've desired to grow our family, we were open to the Lord adding to our crew through more biological children or another adoption. To us, it’s all the same. After 4 consecutive miscarriages, biological children are no longer an option for us. In… Continue reading We’re Adopting (Again!)

Merry Christmas 2024!
Hey friends, We recently came across my mom’s Christmas letters she wrote almost every year. My sweet sister-in-law made us all copies and put them in a binder for each of us. The sweetest gift!
