A year ago I was coming home from She Speaks amazed and excited! While in Charlotte I had been contacted by a publisher and was anticipating a book contract by the beginning of 2015. I found an incredible literary agent and worked hard to craft a book proposal. That first proposal was rejected. I wrote a second one ... and it still sits in a pile somewhere at the publisher. To say I was crushed would be an understatement. I've struggled hard since the beginning of 2015 trying to figure out ... [Read More]
Simple Bible Study for Busy Women
Last week I was talking to my friend Britta. We were dreaming about some big ideas God has placed inside our hearts and brainstorming together some of the ways we could partner to see those ideas turn into realities. One of the passions we share is encouraging women to interact with Scripture and to help them see how the Word of God intersects with daily life. It's no secret around here how deeply passionate I am about the value of daily time in the Word ... but I'm equally desperate to ... [Read More]
The 5 Most Important Things I Do Every Day
Laundry. Checking on aging grandparents. Dishes. Making the beds. Taking my girl to whatever she has going on. Wiping the bathroom counter. Fixing a meal. Chatting about the day's activities with my husband. Feeding the dog. And the list goes on and on. My everyday, every day tasks are probably pretty similar to yours.

Book Review: Anchored by Kayla Aimee
I have so many friends writing the most amazing books, y'all! Last week I got to tell you about a book that hit me square between my perfectionistic eyes. If Amy's book was like a conversation with a good friend, Kayla Aimee's new book, Anchored: Finding Hope in the Unexpected*, is like peeking into the journal of someone you already adore. Anchored is the story of a preemie mom. But really, Anchored is the story of every one of us. Whether our circumstances have led us to 156 days in the ... [Read More]
What Really Matters This Week
Y'all, it's only Monday and I'm already exhausted. We've been basically going non-stop this summer. Between trips and camps and church activities and getting my parents moved to Alabama, I am t.i.r.e.d. Our church is having Vacation Bible School this week so we'll be busy with that every night. And my girl has some oral surgery scheduled for this week also. It would be easy to make a big list of things to do this week. After all, school is starting in just a few weeks and that means we ...

How Will You Respond to Summer Chaos?
Four weeks from yesterday my daughter's sophomore year in high school will begin. Seriously, y'all? I'm beside myself wondering where the time has gone. For example ... This summer has flown by and in the few weeks we have left the chaos won't slow down. It seems like the older my girl gets, the fewer days we have for just doing nothing. When I look at the calendar marked up with days away from home and the days we are home with their doctor appointments and church activities, I have a ... [Read More]
