Three Things Worth Fighting About

I'm so thrilled to have my new friend Lee Nienhuis sharing today. Lee's brand new book is Brave Moms, Brave Kids: A Battle Plan for Raising Heroes. And y'all, it. is. fantastic.

The most popular posts covered some of my favorite topics—lopsided living, praying for your daughter, and more. It's been a good year, you know? It's been hard sometimes. But there has also been a lot of joy. The biggest news this year in our house was my book contract with Bethany House. I'm still a little ... [Read More]
