Coffee Chats and a Cup of Faith for Mommies
There are a handful of books, outside the Bible, that have had a lifelong impact on me. While I have always enjoyed reading, I can say that I was moved deeply by the substance of Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul (Revised and Expanded) by John and Stasi Eldredge. From the back cover: [...]
Has Spring filled up your yard or local park with riotous color and scent? I love several flowers in Spring, but my 2 favorites are lilacs and peonies. Around here, Lilacs are fully bloomed and my peonies are growing a multitude of buds. I’m SO excited to see them coming. There is something so feminine [...]
In studying Esther and Eve, we can see a contrast in both their story and the effect their lives had on generations of people. Eve sinned against God and brought sin to humanity. We still see it today. Eve started her life knowing God more intimately than any of us have ever known. She didn’t [...]
If you’ve been reading about Esther with me this week, we have learned about a young woman with character, grace and beauty. Esther was a winner. She won the notice and respect of those around her, won a king’s heart, and won the life of her people, despite an evil man’s schemes. We all want [...]

I can admit it: Quiet Time with the Lord is something I used to take for granted. I used to lazily find my way to my Bible and study – sometimes richly, intensely – but haphazardly at best. As a wife & mommy Quiet Time with the Lord is NOT something I can go without. [...]
Did you ever see the 80′s movie, Vision Quest? It’s about a high school wrestler – not typically my kind of movie – except for the fact that parts of the movie were actually filmed in my high school’s gymnasium. What is a Vision Quest? Well, it’s actually a rite of passage stemming from Native [...]
I grew up in a pretty conservative home where the King James Version of the Bible was THE. ONLY. VERSION.
