Are You Sure This Boy Is Mine?

By

When I gave birth to my first child and they put him in my arms and said it’s a boy, I responded, “Are you sure you have the right one?”  To which my beaming husband replied, “Yes, you’re still connected.”  So I guess by the sheer fact that he was connected to my umbilical cord and came out of my womb, they assumed he was mine!! I thought my firstborn was a girl from the very moment I found out that I was pregnant.  The bedding I picked out was teal with pink and yellow polka dots.  I also had…

If Purity is Taboo, How Do You Get Your Teens to Embrace It?

“So when do you think you’ll do it?” That was the question marking every conversation amongst my friends in high school. I was one of those girls obsessed with boys. It was so bad we had to give all the guys I liked numbers, just so we could talk in code when we passed them in the hallway. In our free periods, we dreamed about who might ask me out.

Time to Check the Influences on a Girl’s Worth

What are you worth? Far more than you can fathom. But where do we find our worth? From knowing and being known by the Creator and Savior of the world Jesus. And yet the world tells us different.

This same boy told his mom about Instagram photos where young women post…

{9} TWOgether: We Love Together

By

  As a junior high student, I was so frustrated when I didn’t have a friend available on Friday night. That’s when my mother would make this statement, “You are blessed if you have one or two really good friends.” At that time, I definitely didn’t want to hear that! One or two? I wanted way more than one or two; seven for every day of the week seemed a much better fit! Now as I have my own children, I see the value of teaching them that more is not always better when it comes to friendships; especially friends…
