It's January. In the past that always meant two things for me: the start of a new diet and the beginning of a new calendar. The diet was over before the end of the first day but my brand spankin' new calendar became a companion (and a ball and chain) that was filled to capacity with a myriad of to-do lists and activities no matter what … [Read more...]

Focus on the Family and a Little Backstory
Great news! This Monday, Focus on the Family will air my interview with Jim Daly and John Fuller. Do you have any "TOO BUSY" mom-friends? Make sure to have them tune in. I was in their Colorado Springs studio in August. I couldn’t believe I was actually there and told them as much. Their Focus on the Family radio show reaches over 220 million … [Read more...]
Be Still in 2013
"Be still." If I had a nickel for each time I told my four children those two words I'd be typing this from my beachfront home in Maui. Funny how these are the very words God tells us, his own kids in Psalm 46:10. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” When our … [Read more...]
Ready for an Adventure?
Dear God, Is this year over, really? Did I make you proud this year? We grew closer, I believe we did. Forgive me for those moments…ahem…days…ahem…weeks where I doubted and feared. The anxiety that grabbed a hold of me and refused to let go was disappointing to myself and I’m sure to You as well. Remember those talks we had? The tears I shed … [Read more...]
Pinterest or Prince of Peace? Which home have you built?
Unless the Lord builds the house the laborer labors in vain. Psalm 127:1 We’re buying a house. For the first time I’ll get to pick what type of hardwood floors I want, the color of the carpet and whether I want bronze or brushed nickel fixtures in the bathrooms. It’s pretty exciting. I’ve spent thousands of minutes on Pinterest … [Read more...]
5 Fun Christmas Traditions
Family traditions don’t always begin with much fanfare. My mother had no idea what she’d done. She was an incredible mom. Distracting her four children with hot cocoa and Rice Krispy Treats kept us from arguing about who would hang the prettiest ornaments, instead, our mouths were full of sugary heaven. Fast forward twenty-five years, hot cocoa … [Read more...]
You Can’t Do It – Alone
Marriage is hard. Understatement of the millennium, right? Two very different human beings brought up by two different people in two different households. Two people with two different personalities, two different life experiences, family traditions, ideals, goals…then God does the unthinkable. He brings us together to become one. It’s a … [Read more...]

Holy Hibernation
Our pastor shared on Sunday that he’s taking a sabbatical. After fifteen years at the pulpit, he and his wife believe it’s time for a few months of much needed rest. There are some who’d disagree with this decision. “Take a sabbatical? Really?” “Pastors don’t take time off.” Why not? God did. I’ll admit, when I heard the announcement I … [Read more...]
