If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know I have a journaling Bible. My IG feed is full of images like this … I’ve always been a note-taker and margin-writer in my Bible. Last April, I spoke at Refine: the Retreat in Ohio. My friend, Kris, was the visionary and host of this wildly amazing event. It was there I was introduced to the idea of art journaling. My clumsy first attempts were no where near as gorgeous as the delightful Annie Barnett’s illustrations. But Annie, Kris, ... [Read More]
Keep. It. Shut. {Asking God to Do the Hard Things in Us}
First off, I need to admit something: I adore Karen Ehman. In fact, I might even be a little awestruck by her. She is energetic, entertaining, and everything she writes makes me feel like she’s been reading my prayer journal. Seriously, this woman seems to know me. Last summer I got to meet her. {I failed to get my picture made with her because I am, as you all already know, a total dork.} Karen so graciously invited me to share with the advanced speakers at She Speaks. And, in a very Teri ... [Read More]
15 Years of Mothering {and why it’s harder than I ever thought!}
Fifteen years ago our daughter was born. I had all kinds of hopes and dreams about what life with a girl was going to be. I envisioned tea parties and dance classes. I looked forward to pedicures and movie dates. I anticipated shopping trips and girls only getaway weekends. I was sure I’d be the kind of mom who knew when to listen and how to point her daughter back to Scripture. I just knew we’d share a love for Bible study and maybe even one day do conferences together for moms and ... [Read More]
50 Shades of Grey … 5000 Shades of Grace
I want to say this well ... because if I don't, I'm afraid I'll miss this incredible opportunity to show the love of Christ. I'm nervous because the topic is full of potential for misinterpretation and hateful dialog and mean-spiritedness. But inside me, I know this is one of those rare times when I need to let go of my desire to be liked and avoid the fray and speak out. So with great trepidation and a whole lot of prayers, I am sharing my thoughts about 50 Shades of Grey and why the real ... [Read More]
31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage {Zechariah 8:16-18}
“These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another, render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate,” declares the Lord. Zechariah 8:16-17 Anyone but me love a good checklist? Every day I make a list of what needs to be done and I love being able to draw a line through completed items or check the box by my accomplishments. {Sometimes I even add ... [Read More]
31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage {Zechariah 4:6}
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 Confession: Sometimes I suffer from an affliction called “Just let me do it myself-itis.” I load the dishwasher and do the laundry and make the bed because no one else does it “right.” I agree to lead a committee or take charge of an event so I can make sure everything gets done. I’m not great at delegating and I tend to follow behind people ... [Read More]
