» Continue ReadingI’m so honored to be featured today over at Annalea Hart’s blog. This is her heart behind this series: you are invited to spend a day in the life of her. the gal who you might think has it all together. the mama who seems to do it all. guess what? she doesn’t. let’s fight those lies. this new series is an effort to dispel the superwoman myth. it is a time to be encouraged and a place to be challenged. I know I’ve shared about why I blog and how I find the time to do it, but if you’ve ever wondered what my days are like, this post is for you. Thank you for your friendship and support.

» Continue ReadingToday my middlest turns 5. This is the boy who had a fuzz and yarn fetish as a toddler and ran us ragged with his middle-of-the-night wakings his entire third year of life. This is the boy who’s head was so heavy, he never crawled…just scooted. This is the boy who values honesty, and never hesitated to accurately testify to the offense he committed against one of his brothers: “You hit him on his mouth!?” “No, I hit his tooth with the frying pan.” This is the boy who completes a job and is obsessed with anything mechanical. Today, Number 3 is sweet, observant, hard-working, charismatic, and as generous as he is loyal. I’m so proud to be his MaMa.

» Continue ReadingIt’s possible that my love language is really good food. I love to make good food for those I love. I love to eat good food with those I love. And when I’ve had a super rough day and my dear husband finds me flat with discouragement at the end of it, he knows he can show how much he loves me by taking me out for good eats. He knows me so well, in fact, that he takes me out for Vietnamese. Not steak, because that would be at the end of his rough day.

Pho and other forms of Vietnamese cuisine are really not much to look at, or to photograph for that matter, but if this blog post could waft aromas…. If you haven’t […]

It is my inherent commitment to protecting myself, my comfort, my pride, my reputation, my investments. It is me believing myself to be king of my own kingdom, rather than a subject in His. Stress is the external pressure that reveals what is on the inside. Ministry can be messy and at times, stressful. I’m regularly convicted and confronted with what that pressure can squeeze out of me. Being a pastor’s wife is ultimately not all that different from being a wife to any godly man. I’ve received much encouragement, through the years, from a book by Mary Somerville, a fellow pastor’s wife, One with a Shepherd: The Tears and Triumphs of a Ministry Marriage. I trust you will be encouraged […]
