You are Beautiful, and Why it Matters
When I was 16, I was babysitting on a family vacation in Vegas. I went downstairs to take the girl I was babysitting to get ice cream. While we were down there, another little girl (about 6-7 years old), came running into the parlor. Her mom grabbed her by the arm, and sternly told her “Young ladies don’t run.” I was shocked, and started paying attention to this scene. The little girl excitedly said, “But mom, it’s ICE CREAM!” Her mom followed that up with “Young ladies don’t eat ice cream. Ice cream makes you fat and no one...

8 Things No One Tells First Time Moms
I recently had several friends that just became first time moms, (YEA!) and it got me thinking about those challenging first weeks as a new mom. There is so much information out there, but no one is really talking about what you REALLY want to know! I was surprised that I hadn’t thought to ask anyone about the REAL un-talked about side of birth and afterwards….you know the details of what’s about to happen. While my mom had three children, and is a great mom and resource to me, there were a lot of things I didn’t know (Because...

Teaching Our Children Diversity
In light of recent events, it’s been very difficult to find the right words to say. There is so much in our world right now that is difficult to understand, much less explain to our children. And it seems to be getting more tense and stressful everyday. So, as a society, what can we do? As Christian parents what can we do? How can we raise a generation to do better? To know better, to treat each other better, and to embrace each other with the eyes of Christ? We can start by teaching our children diversity from very...

What God Says about Fear
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 This morning, I woke with all intentions of opening my Bible and taking my anxiety to God. But instead, I opened my phone. And I read update after update, article after article of people crippled by fear. People turning against one another, fear crippling the sound minds and decisions of people, people acting in selfish ways due to the unknown. You see, I work in health care. And I am a single mom. So the weight...
