Books Were My Mentors When I Began My Journey

Photo by Kimberly Farmer on Unsplash In December of 2008, God used a book, “Love and Respect,” (by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs) to open my eyes to a lot of problems in my attitude and behavior I had never noticed before. I was mortified. I had no idea how blind I was and how much work […]

Are You Able to Say, “No”?

I am taking a break from comments and ministry-related emails for Lent through March 28th to spend some much needed time alone with the Lord. This is a post I originally shared on my site for single women – but we married ladies need this critical ability, as well. I pray it might be a […]

An Amazing Resource – Nina Roesner’s eCourse “Strength and Dignity”

“The Respect Dare,” by Nina Roesner, was a transformative book for me. In fact, it was one of the best books that God used in my life fairly early into my journey. I was actually so sad when the 40 days of assignments were over. I loved the structure and the daily bite-sized approach to […]

Ladies, Satan would love to use Valentine’s Day to create bitterness, resentment, jealousy, division, hatred, and contempt in our lives. Don’t take the bait! It’s fine to ask for us to ask for what we would like respectfully. But if things don’t work out – we don’t have to lash out destructively. We also don’t […]
