The Myth of the Proverbs 31 Woman
If you’re a Christian woman, it’s likely you’ve heard of the Proverbs 31 woman. It starts like this: Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. Proverbs 31:10-13 It’s a beautiful verse.

Motherhood is Ministry
I want you to think about this. Motherhood is ministry. In fact, the ministry of motherhood is so important that even God Himself came through a woman. Jesus was the seed of the Holy Spirit placed inside a mother’s womb. He was all man and all God. Yet God gave the most important task of raising the Son of God to a woman. To a mother. He carried Him in her womb. She gave birth to Him in Bethlehem. And she raised Him up. God entrusted the most important ministry to mothers. Yes, fathers play a critical role. They are invaluable in shaping a child into the adults they become.…

And I’ve said things to my husband and others in my family I wish I could take back. But once the words have gone out, there is no taking back the damage they may have caused. Ouch. That hurts to…

5 Things You Shouldn’t Say to Someone Who Had a Miscarriage
***TRIGGER WARNING*** I share personal details about my two miscarriages. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please read with caution. I was 17 and alone when I had my first miscarriage. My boyfriend was out of town. It was the late 1990’s, and we didn’t have access to one another via phone or text message. I had an email address to get ahold of him that he checked maybe once or twice a month and that was all. Now before you ask, I wasn’t living for the Lord during this time. I didn’t know Jesus, wasn’t saved and yes, I was having sex with my boyfriend. That’s a…

Trade the Superficial for the Satisfying: Self-Care With Jesus
Self-care is a very popular buzzword in the mom and mompreneur world right now. We moms have a bad habit of putting everyone first to our detriment. We never really focus on doing the most important things because we are too busy trying to do all the things. And so, we suffer. We don’t take care of our bodies. We stop eating well. We have no energy. We start having health problems. And we begin to lose our identity in our children and all the commitments we make. Our self-worth becomes tied up in all these things and we’re just so tired. Right? What’s the standard solution? More “me” time.…
