Lost and Found
The shrill scream caught my attention immediately. It was the kind that would turn any mother’s head…and even though I wasn’t a mom yet, I had lived enough life around little people I knew that particular kind of scream meant terror. Someone was freaking… Continue Reading “Lost and Found”
Part 5- YOUR PEOPLE
Over the last several weeks, we have been discussing the importance of having three certain relationships in our lives: Paul-coaches, Barnabas-friends and Timothy-mentees. This is the final part in our five-part series. In order to find all of these relationships in your life, you… Continue Reading “Part 5- YOUR PEOPLE”
Part 4- Timothy Mentees
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of talking to a Sunday School group of young women in Michigan about FRIENDS. We talked about the lies we believe about friends and the types of relationships we need to grow and be well-rounded as humans.… Continue Reading “Part 4- Timothy Mentees”
Part 3- Barnabas Friends

Good Gifts
This is one of my favorite times of year. I’ve spent most of my growing up years in the North with snowy, white Christmases and lots of sledding and hot cocoa. I’ve also had several Southern winters (shout out to my favorite Arkansans!) where… Continue Reading “Good Gifts”
Write Your Blessings
Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Gratefulness. Praise. Thanksgiving. We have all heard it over and over again. We’ve read books about it. We’ve heard sermons on it. We’ve told our friends… Continue Reading “Write Your Blessings”
