Today was a monumental day for my family. It's a day that I've prayed to see happen for 14 years. Can you think of something you would pray about for 14 years? For me, it was a loved one.

Identity: Who are you REALLY?
"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." Philippians 2:3 While attending a women's church retreat this past weekend I was challenged to ask myself, "What is my identity?" To be honest, I thought it was a simple question. Mentally I answered... "a wife, mother, and writer." Done. I… Continue reading Identity: Who are you REALLY?

I knew they were covered in prayer, so as a mother, I held back on my worries and instead focused on preparing lunches and giving kisses.

Since putting it on I have had several people ask me if it is a hospital bracelet, so I suppose it bears a strong resemblance.

While praying for Boston this morning my prayer started out pretty general. Please bring healing to the city, etc. Then, as I prayed for a few minutes longer my heart began to stir and my soul began to cry out to God. It was a powerful moment between this sinner and God. I was reminded… Continue reading How we can Pray for Boston

May His Peace Be Yours
Laura Frantz has mentioned, Jesus Calling, a daily devotional by Sarah Young on her blog. After reading a few excerpts I decided to purchase a copy of this devotional for myself. It is one of the best purchases I have made this year. Yesterday was not one of my better days. We all have them.… Continue reading May His Peace Be Yours
