Dear Fifteen: A Letter to Teen Girls on International Women’s Day

Lean in, sweet girl in the trenches of the teen years.  This is for you.  You: the one beginning to relate to your mom as a friend, the one beginning to wear makeup, the one navigating womanhood, the one striving to discern between friendships and extracurricular activities.  I know.  It feels so complicated. I was […]

When We Need the Tried and True Encouragement for the Narrow Road We’re Traveling

There is such a tension. The struggle is real here. Sweet friend, it is imperative that we learn to love like Jesus if we call ourselves His follower. Follow is the operative word. We must follow the perfect example the best that we can in spite of our imperfect nature.   How do we love […]

Only Brave For Jesus

   Out of the mouths of babes comes truth.  My then four-year-old, a child with a heart of gold had said, “Mommy, you have to obey God.  I don’t want you to be swallowed up by a big fish like Jonah.”  Yeah….me neither, Bud.  Sheesh.  Children keep it real, don’t they?! I am not brave. […]
