Relish Your Youth

By

Please welcome one of our newest contributing writer today, Tessa of Christ is Write. “You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. If something looks good to you, pursue it. But also know that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it.” ~Ecclesiastes 11:9 MSG Your cell phone explodes with text messages on the latest gossip. The girl in math class got in trouble with the cops last weekend. Your ex-best friend’s boyfriend dumps her the day before prom. Sound familiar? You’ve probably found it pretty…

Swelled with Love For You

By

  I had an ah-ha moment yesterday. It came out of a conversation with a precious young woman while sipping a much needed cappuccino. “What is your goal or hope for More to Be?” I took a deep breath.  Hmm. “Well, see, the thing is I feel like I’m taking care of this baby who doesn’t even belong to me and one day I’m going to have to give her back.” I don’t think I ever put that into words before.

Secret Somethings: A New Way of Doing Christmas

Our new approach is called Secret Somethings, as we are modifying our secret stocking tradition,…

If I can give a practical resource, score! If I can inspire authentic life change, awesome!  So here are a few gift options that we think would be a true blessing to the teens, twenty-somethings, and women in your life. We hope you’ll think about giving gifts like these to others this year, too.*   In Print  or  For Kindle *** A Super Gift for…

The Story God Writes Isn’t Finished Yet

By

My story. Your story. Their story. It isn’t finished yet. What God is doing in us, through us, and for us isn’t fully understood. He’s not done writing the story. But that doesn’t me we should hold back from telling of the His work and transforming power. Looking at the past and hoping toward the future can be one of those stone of remembrance moments.  That’s what I am doing today over at Sarah Farish’s blog, Making Much of Him. This month, she is hosting at “30 Days of Story” series, providing women with the opportunity to glorify God with…
