I subtitled this blog "Becoming a Woman After God's Own Heart" because is there anything else better to be? I have always been drawn to David because he is identified this way. We as women are deeply connected to the heart of things, and what better heart to be connected to than God's. Acts 13:… Continue reading Becoming a Woman After God’s Own Heart: Part One
Acts 1:7-8 "These things are not for you to know, but when the Holy Spirit comes to you, you will receive power. You will be my witnesses in every part of the world."

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 And the number one thing I will ever do is be a mother. A friend this week asked me why I wanted to become a mother.

After their conversation my friend confided I just worry about what she thinks of me.… Continue reading Two truths He wants you to know

I am Martha. There I said it. No matter how much I try to project my “Mary-ness” to those around me, when I am pushed up against the stresses of life it’s Martha who is left standing (just ask my husband.) And when things do get messy and I am struggling to keep all of… Continue reading Expectation: perfect.
Getting to know my Savior is one of the most meaningful things I’ve done in my life. This past year, I completed a bible study that was centered around the life of Jesus. It was a Beth Moore study that I began last April and finished at the close of the year. I have always… Continue reading Jesus.
