"Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds." Psalm 105:1-2

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get overwhelmed by thoughts of needing to "do better." I feel like I'm constantly assessing myself to see how I measure up more in the sight of the Lord. I take inventory of all I deem in "need of improvement." It's overwhelming. It often feels like more than I can do....

It happens in a flash! One day your child is sitting in a highchair. You enjoy majority rule over most of what goes into that precious little body. Then, in a blink, they have armpit hair and only want food that comes in bags and has the word "Flaming'" in it. As moms, we pour our heart and soul into caring for our children, making every effort to nourish and care for them well. So, what are we to do when they grow and begin making choices for themselves and their well-being? Through trial...

“The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.”(Acts 17:24, 25)

Yea! Me too! There are so many moments we let slip away because we think the future will be better than where we are today.

Jesus said, “Come off by yourselves; let’s take a break and get a little rest.” For there was constant coming and going. They didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 (MSG)

We've all heard the saying, "Silence is golden." There's a reason. Hidden in that age-old saying is scriptural truth modeled to us by Jesus. That, is the discipline of silence. Typically we think of this saying in terms of holding our tongues. There is also wisdom to creating silence around us. Quieting the chatter and just...

Ahhhhhh, the infamous Proverbs 31 woman. Did you roll your eyes? I thought I saw that!

I'm kidding, of course, but sisters, let's address the elephant in the room! We read in Proverbs 31 about the ultimate #LadyBoss. I mean, let's say it, she is the bomb. Let's also be honest about this, as we read the account of the elusive Proverbs 31 woman, we can easily allow what's meant to inspire us, deflate us. What's meant to spur on humble service and escort us into more authentic faith can easily...

Hey friends! Hope you are all doing well! It's been a while since I've done a Daily Dish, and I thought what better time to share than now...

We have been staying with my parents to not only have some much needed refreshing, but also to spend time with my parents and beat some of Michigan's winters. Not to mention, Michigan is mostly shut down still due...

"You, therefore, will be perfect [growing into spiritual maturity both in mind and character, actively integrating godly values into your daily life], as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48

Does anyone read this and think, "Yikes!"? I mean, being perfect isn't exactly something I've mastered. You? The reality is that on this side of heaven, none of us are perfect. If we were, we wouldn't need a savior! When we study the meaning of the word "perfect" in this verse, we must...

Hey there friend! So glad you're here! I'm starting up the Fave Five series on the blog again, (what used to be called Friday Fave); Because of the fact that I simply miss connecting with those of you who don't have social media!

Perhaps fellow wife, momma, believer in Christ, foodie, or health enthusiast, and you are curious about what other women in the same walk of life are up to, but most of all I hope that you find these posts fun, encouraging, and also keep us connected, (especially if...
