A Legacy Worth Leaving
I grew up listening to Steve Green, a popular Christian music artist in the ‘80s and ‘90s. My parents would play his music in the car and at home so it didn’t take long before I had all of his songs memorized. “Find Us Faithful,” one of his most popular songs, was...
Birds of a Feather
Have you heard the saying, “birds of a feather flock together?” The meaning behind this little phrase says that people with similar interests and tastes will be found together. Late this summer I started helping out with a local high school volleyball team. It had...
What Are You Hearing?
Early morning is the best time for me to sit undistracted with the LORD and cast all my cares upon him. With four grown children and their families all over the country, two sets of parents living through a pandemic, work that is still drifting away from normal, and...
Things You May Not Know About Porn
Talking about porn is complicated. It makes people uncomfortable. It’s not a light-hearted topic and if you hear someone talk about it, it’s usually an off-color joke or some crass comment by a group of young guys. The problem is, pornography is like a dangerous mold...
Do I Stay or Do I Go: Difficult Decisions When Your Husband is Struggling With Pornography
I often wrestled with whether or not to leave my husband during the many years we limped along through his addiction to pornography. One night, after yet another interrogation, I threw my wedding ring across the bedroom at him, believing I could not sit through...
Wonderment and Anticipation
Wonderment and anticipation, two words that describe my emotions after my daughter was diagnosed with Covid-19 just three days into her new college career. My mind was flooded with questions like, “How bad would she get?”, “Who else would get it?”, “When or even is it...
When It’s Good to Give Up
Today, someone I respect reprimanded me for being so open with the struggles in our marriage in last week’s blog post. I did not see that coming. I had prepared myself for the likelihood that there might be judgment or whispers, but I was not at all prepared to be...
Healing from Your Husband’s Pornography Addiction
I sat with my eyes glued to the computer screen, unable to wrap my head around the images in front of me. My heart grew tighter and tighter inside my chest as I stared back at my reality, and there didn’t seem to be enough oxygen in the room to fill my lungs. My limbs...
Surviving
I recently finished reading a book I was given a couple years ago, “The Magnolia Story," by Chip and Joanna Gaines. It is their life story about how they met and the beginning days of starting their business in Waco, Texas. At the end of the book Joanna states how she...
Faithfulness
On September 6 my oldest son, Josh, is getting married. It will be the second time for me to be Mother of the Groom within 17 weeks. You see these pictures? When we were young parents having tiny babies we COULD NOT imagine the first picture becoming the second...
Your Body May Be Telling You Something…
Do you ever just wish that you had a clear inside picture of what is going on within your inner body? Do you ever beg God to just tell you what is making you not feel like yourself? A few years back I had an intestinal blockage that turned septic and started to kill...
I Do
I attended two weddings in a row a couple weeks back. I love weddings and in the last several years I am always filled with emotion as the bride walks down the aisle. There is something incredibly beautiful about the joining of two lives into one. I believe the main...
