Fear has played a huge role in my life recently in a few areas of my life. I’ve worried about my kids, not done things that I’m passionate about out of fear of what people might think of me, and avoided quite a few things out of a fear of failure. And so, I did what I always do when…
This mom thing is a hard gig. Sure, it’s got its rewards, but it can be exhausting, and you can lose yourself in it. You can become so consumed in parenting that you forget who you are and what you’re passionate about. It’s easy to live in survival mode and forget that God has called us to a life of…
I’m an avid reader and I do enjoy writing. And as much as I am touched by receiving a new writing journal with a fancy pen, I’ve stumbled across many an item on Amazon that strikes my reading/writing fancy. And maybe they’ll strike yours too, whether it’s a gift to yourself, or for a loved one who enjoys reading and…
A few years ago, after reading Beth Moore’s amazing Praying God’s Word, I discovered the joy of praying scripture over various topics that were important to me, such as praying scriptures for my marriage or my children or for overcoming fear. Prayer in and of itself is powerful. When you combine it with scripture, well, let’s just say you should be prepared…
Dear Fellow Church Members, I am the mother of not one, but two children with special needs. We have moved three times in the last five years, requiring us to find a new church family, and while it can be challenging to find a new church community that your family can thrive in, it becomes even harder when you’re not…
You already wear your hair up, but there are lots of reasons to trade in those not so pretty rubber bands, claw clips or bobby pins for some lovely and unique Lilla Rose hair bling. Beauty. You already wear your hair up anyway. Why not add some bling? Trade in those boring pony tail holders and uncomfortable claw clips for something…
I’ve been reading the historical fiction book Iscariot: A Novel of Judas by Tosca Lee. It is interesting to think about what Judas may have been like and his motivations that led to him betraying Jesus. But all I could think about while reading (and maybe it’s because I’m reading it during Holy Week, just before Resurrection Sunday) is how Judas missed…
A few years ago, after reading Beth Moore’s amazing Praying God’s Word, I discovered the joy of praying scripture over various things that were important to me. I love praying Scripture over my marriage, my children, our health, etc. And one day, a day in which I was experiencing a lot of fear and doubt regarding my writing and blogging, I realized…

I love my husband dearly. Bur like most couples, we are opposites in many ways. One area where we really struggled in our marriage, where we had a number of arguments about, is the fact that my husband loves structure, organization, and a person working hard. As for me, I joke that “I put the pro in procrastination.” I’m totally…
