If I Could Start Motherhood Again

Two Things I’d Do Differently If I Could Start Motherhood Again

By

From this vantage point, with my oldest leaving the nest, getting ready to start her adult life as a married woman, and my youngest just shy of turning sixteen, I have perspective on what I would do differently as I’ve come to see the truly sacred work of motherhood. God designed the relationship between mother and child as one to provide the kind of emotional AND physical security that lays the foundation for development.  Studies upon studies show the impact an emotionally engaged and present mama has on her child.

Hungry for Home with Ruth McKeaney {Podcast #705}

By

Home. That word can elicit a range of different emotions. For some, the idea of home brings about feelings of family traditions, loved ones, or the place they always want to come back to. For others, the thought of home simply hurts, with disappointments, heartbreaks, and unattainable expectations. There is something in all of us that longs for that sense of comfort and stability . . . that is the hope for home. I have uncovered that hope again, thanks to the inspiration of a long-known of, but new to me friend, Ruth Mckeaney, who is also the author of…

Instead, life came to a screeching halt with doctor’s orders for complete rest.

When Fear Threatens to Overtake Your Life

By

I’ll never forget the day my oldest came home from kindergarten with her ABC Bible Memory Verse assignment. With her three little fingers held up in front of my face, she declared, “W. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee” (Psalm 56:3 KJV).  I shook my head at the Lord and said, “Really? This is for me, right?”  Fear has been my middle name since I was little girl, although you’d never know it by looking at the way I’ve lived.  I’ve managed to mask my fear with the appearance of strength, embodying all the mantras from…

God is Gracious & Merciful | Encounter God #18

Do we not trust that God is who He says He is because we’ve never experienced His fullness in the flesh? Yes, we know God’s promises. Yes, we can think about who He is and what He does, but how much do we fall into doubt because the fullness of God can’t be contained in the flesh? So we turn to the things of this world for our security. We turn from God into worshipping our accomplishments and make idols of people who can actually see and touch. But where does that land us? We only become more and more…
