My Biggest Fan
If you've been involved in the blogging world for any time it would be safe to say that our neighborhood is filled with women's voices. Yes, there are men who blog--and do a fine job at it--but the majority are moms of young children who have finally found an outlet for the one million thoughts dancing around in their heads as they raise, guide, cherish, and lead their children ... and love

When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
Nothing is going like planned.
Life wasn't supposed to be like this.
At age fifteen I planned on going to college to be a school teacher. I planned on living in the same small California town I grew up in. After having Cory, getting married, and having more kids, I planned on settling down in the (somewhat) larger California town that we lived in. John would get a good job. We'd buy a

Christmas. Cards or letters?
Every year I try to write a Christmas letter to go with my Christmas cards. But this year I wanted to celebrate the TWO new additions to our family! If you're looking for inspiration for a Christmas card or another important announcement, check out The Little Card Company. I asked April--one of the owners--to share a little about it.

Isaiah 53 (The Message)
1 Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this? 2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered,

The story behind the story...
With each of my novels I write the story behind the story to put on my website. It gives a little more background on the story's birth and the real-life stories that inspire my books.
Here is the backstory for Remembering You. I was also interviewed by Guideposts about the Veteran's I've interviewed over the years. Watch that video here.
In the last ten years since I started interviewing

Being A Missionary
As most of you know John and I moved to Little Rock March 2010 to join FamilyLife. What you may not know is that in our hearts we considered this a missionary move. We made a conscience decision for John to move from a cooperate setting to a ministry one. The less money he is making in this new job confirmed that our focus was on expanding "God's mission" rather than an upward career move.
