That Time I Hated Being a Foster Parent…and Why It’s Worth It Anyway
“I hate being a foster parent. I hate it!” I sobbed to my 11-year-old daughter on our front porch a few weeks ago. I’m aware of how wrong this is on multiple levels. The thing is, nothing terrible had happened that day. It wasn’t a day of several kids vomiting. No one had soiled himself. There were no … Read More about That Time I Hated Being a Foster Parent…and Why It’s Worth It Anyway
“Love the LORD Your God” ~ a 6-week study

I’m deeply thankful for men and women who have deemed this nation worth fighting for, and who have possessed the courage and … Read More about The Blessing America Most Needs
Hope for the Parents of a Strong Willed Child
I happen to be blessed with two strong-willed children – one who is in her “tween” years, and the other entering Kindergarten in the fall. And while raising a strong willed child is not easy, raising any child is a significant calling and one worthy of our best efforts. I don’t know about you, but the … Read More about Hope for the Parents of a Strong Willed Child
How to Be Happily Married in a World of Unhappy Marriages
My husband and I celebrated our fifteenth anniversary last week. A decade-and-a-half seems like a drop in a bucket when I think about my grandparents, who were married for sixty years before my grandpa passed away, or my parents, who’ve been married for forty years. But I don’t want to minimize the weight of God’s … Read More about How to Be Happily Married in a World of Unhappy Marriages
