I have a friend. A very good friend. She is loyal. She is faithful. She is loving. She is supportive. She is fun. She is a listener. She is beautiful. She loves Jesus. When I read the Project 31 prompt “Write a Blog to Encourage Another Beautiful Woman,” I knew God was leading me to […]
On Jesus Leading
Jesus says, Follow Me. You do not need to know where the road will lead you, because I am your Heavenly Father. I would never take you into danger, and if we walk into a place of pain or hardship, you need not fear. I am taking you through it–you are not going it alone. […]
The One with the [5 minute] Women
On this wonderful wintery Friday, I am joining The Gypsy Mama and others on a Five Minute Friday post. The prompt: “The Women.” START. These past couple days have been a day of “The Women”–just Mom and me. It’s been lovely, really. Dad is on a Utah trip with the guys, skiing his little heart out, […]
The One with the Letter of Love
The glory of God is a man fully alive. [St. Iranaeus] A letter of thanks. Dear Kevin, I think you know by now how wholly and passionately I love you. But, my husband, I truly believe without your incredible love for me, I wouldn’t have the capacity for such a love. God has given you […]

The One with the Beauty of a Woman
Jesus says, “I created you. I had a plan and a purpose for you life even before you were a dream in your parents’ subconscious. You are beautiful. You are wonderfully made. I knit you together, stitch by stitch, placing every limb, every bone, every organ, exactly where I wanted them. I make no mistakes. […]
The One with the New Living Room
I have to confess–I’ve always been a “rearranger.” Growing up I moved everything around in my bedroom every 3 or 4 months. (Until I rearranged it in such a way, that all of the other possibilities were completely overruled by the placement of the oversized dresser. It was impossible to move things around after that. I […]
The One with the OPPOSITE Sexes
Today, I would like to share a little word of encouragement: It’s ok to be different from your spouse.
