Y'all, Prayers for Girls is really doing a number on me. In the best possible way ... but also the hardest. I can't even begin to list all the ways God has met me in the middle of my utter helplessness over the past few months as I've tried to shepherd this growing tribe of mommas who are desperate to cover their girls with the Word. I have all the feels, y'all. ALL of them. The more I pray through these Scriptures for my daughter, the more I realize they are also my prayers for myself. This ... [Read More]
{ABIDE Day 2} Bring Burdens to Him
Welcome to day two of ABIDE, a five-step plan to start the new year intentionally. Yesterday, I shared the most important step we must take if we are serious about learning to abide in Christ: acknowledge Him first. A daily quiet time is vital to our spiritual growth and, honestly, there is no way to mature in our faith outside of a commitment to time in the Word every day. But, here's the thing ... even when we are faithful to read the Bible every day, even when we are praying and ... [Read More]
{ABIDE Day 1} Acknowledge Him First
Happy New Year! While I can't really believe it is 2016, I'm excited about what the coming year will bring. And it all starts with this, my first series of 2016 ...

16 Verses to Guide 2016
Each of us will allow something to guide our plans to influence our calendars, and to shape our priorities in the coming year. If we aren't careful, though, that something may not be the best guide. A few weeks ago I shared some of my desires for 2016 ... and as I've prayed and spent time in the Word, I have identified 16 verses to guide 2016. John 15:5-8 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in ... [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. So much of life is about doing the same things over and over. Every day we do the everyday stuff. We check mail and pay bills. We wash dishes and sort laundry. We connect with ... [Read More]
