Sisters, I am anything but a marriage counselor. Marriage is certainly not my expertise, nor do I claim to hold any special secret formula to enjoying a healthy one. What I do claim though is boldness in Christ and I will gladly boast of the Lord every chance I get.

What I am is a testimonial to the Lord’s unspeakable healing, restorative power. This is my '"toast" to the Lord for transforming a severely broken woman and marriage. What I have is 16-years of a true beauty for ashes journey in...

Now, I know what some of you may be thinking when reading the title of this blog post; I thought Katie was against dieting!?! And if that was your thought, that is precisely correct! In fact, my "Post Baby Body Shape Up Plan" isn't much of a plan, but rather it is simply a continuation of the healthy lifestyle that I have continued to live all along; Both before, during, and now after my pregnancy!

We all know that time spent in God’s Word produces increased peace, yields directions and wisdom, and nourishes and refreshes the soul. For some people though, knowing just how to go about spending time with God through study of His word feels confusing and overwhelming. Sometimes we simply don’t know how or where to begin.

A few weeks ago I got to celebrate one of my best friends second baby to be, so we threw her a baby sprinkle! A "sprinkle" is a mini-version of a baby shower, that is generally thrown for a mommy-to-be who is having her second or third baby.

Dayna and I have been friends for about 10 years, and we have been through a lot together, but the most exciting has certainly been expecting our babies together! Dayna has a 1.5 year old daughter Luella, whom we just adore, and she is expecting a son in...
