Listen Close, Listen Well: Hearing God (Kristin Hill Taylor)
I’m spending a lot of time in my rocking chair these days, feeding our sweet baby girl. I have a to-do list that only gets one or two things checked off of it. The days are full…feed baby, shower, eat, tell kids to go outside, remind them to be creative and to stop saying they’re bored (at our house you usually get a chore if you say you’re bored), tap a cat nap, put paci in so baby will nap, remind big kids to take care of our new cat, referee sibling squabbles, feed kids, feed baby, eat, r...

Dear Children (Here’s What You Need to Never Forget about the Orlando Massacre):
Something terrible happened in our country and I want to talk to you about it. Fifty people were killed in Orlando by a man who hated how they were living. He turned dancing into mourning by emptying ammunition into a nightclub in the early morning. Lives were snuffed out as he allowed hate to power his actions.
Children, you are twelve, nine, seven, three, and one month old today and even at your young age there are some important things you need to know about being a human being in light o...

Has Life Thrown You a Curve Ball? (#RaRa Linkup)
Each summer my husband plays church league softball. I used to try to park as close to the field as possible until Adam explained that I might want to park further out so our car didn’t get hit by a fly ball. I also used to sit where I could get the best view, until Adam said I should remain behind the fence so I didn’t get a foul ball in the face.
Obviously I had a thing or two to learn about softball. Hubby’s perspective and advice helped keep me safe.
Just when we think we’ve found a good...

Steward Your Gifts for His Glory
Our friend showed my husband and I around 160 acres. For fifteen years our friend had worked to develop the land in hopes of turning it into a Christian camp, in memory of his first wife. He felt the time had come to have someone else manage the property and get the camp off and running.
Adam and I had been in Christian camping for over eight years at that point but we had never started a camp from the ground up. We were honored to be given this golden opportunity but also overwhelmed by the...

Now That My Kids are Taller than Me (Guest Post: Shannon Popkin)
I met her at the Speak Up Conference (which I highly recommend you attend by the way). She looked familiar but we couldn’t figure out the connection. We quickly discovered that we were both writing books about control…so maybe our spirits felt familiar to one another because of that.
I’m honored to introduce you to the lovely Shannon Popkin who is guest posting today.
Author and speaker, Shannon Popkin, loves to blend her gifts for humor and storytelling with her passion for the Truth of Go...
