I received a timely email a couple weeks ago from FaithGateway (Devotionals Daily). In it was an excerpt from Lysa TerKeurst's Made to Crave devotional. She talked about doing things because you're loved, not doing things to get love. It was a total perspective shift for me, one that I'm still wrestling through. I don't have to do things … Continue reading Am I Convinced?

Outnumbered
Simply put: my husband and I are outnumbered. We have four {amazingly incredible, sometimes slightly crazy and/or loud} children. 🙂 Sometimes when you’re outnumbered, you get overwhelmed. At least I do. Especially when we go out in public together as a family of six. You’re trying to hold everyone’s hand and keep an eye on … Continue reading Outnumbered

It’s a time that I treasure with the Lord and with some amazing women of God. We’re currently going through Beth Moore’s DVD Study of Revelation*. I have always been scared of … Continue reading Containers of Love
