10 Keys to Making Your Marriage Last

Have you ever wondered how to make your marriage last?  I’m sure that if you have been married for any more than a day, you have asked yourself if there are things that you can do to make your marriage successful.  You could figure this out by yourself.  However, I would recommend that you learn from others that have established long-lasting marriages themselves.  My husband and I have been married for over 15 years and, although we are not experts on every marriage, we have learned quite a f...

In the Word of God on Marriage

As married women, we have our opinions of marriage.  We’ve seen movies, read stories, and talked to people that all influence our thoughts and opinions of marriage.  We all want to be successful in our marriage, but it’s important that we take time to get in the word of God on marriage.  For that reason, we are going to take the time to look at some scriptures on marriage.

Being Strong When You Feel Weak

The other day, I went to my son’s practice and watched as his coach taught them. After doing a few sprints around the gym, his coach told the kids that he needed them to say a special prayer for his friend, when they said their prayers at night. With tears in his eyes, he told them that his friend had been injured and although she was alive and conscious, all of her bones were broken. I watched this man as he led the children and then I saw it. He turned around for a moment, to gather himself...

Are You a S.T.R.O.N.G Woman?

I was online when I saw this picture. I get the main point, but sometimes we forget to ask God what’s His point. Do you consider yourself a S.T.R.O.N.G woman? 

You might be saying, “yes! I’m strong!” You could be saying, “I’m just not strong enough.” 

Let’s look at this from the perspective of a S.T.R.O.N.G woman. She is Sensible, Teachable, Reliable, Obedient, Nurturing, and Giving.  She relies on God for her strength and is gracious in her living. This woman is fearless because she trust in...

Who is Building Your House?

When you look around at the world that we live in, we see that there are a lot of things that you and I could be busy doing.  We want our homes, relationships, and careers to be full and satisfying, but there is something that I want to ask you.  Who is building your house?  

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who builds it; Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

Before you and I ever set foot on this earth, God had a plan for our live...

His Thinks of You

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” and You were on His mind. 

When His Spirit hovered over the deep, He look to a place where you could place your feet, 

A place for your to sleep, 

But there was none, so He made it. 

When He stared out into the abyss, 

the void, the darkness, 

He knew the harshness of how life would try to overwhelm you

So…He said “Let there be light” and there was light, so that the darkness would not overtake you

As the waters ran and flowed with no e...

On Amazon’s Hot New Releases List: Being Mrs. Mom the Not So Average Superwoman

 

Earlier today, I sat down to do some planning for Being Mrs. Mom.  I thought about all of the things that God is impressing on my heart to do for and with the women that are in my community and tribe.  After doing this, I had a conference call with two awesome leading entrepreneurs and told them the things that God was placing on my heart.  They confirmed the needs of the women and encouraged me to continue to push forward.  After the call, I got a notification on Facebook from a friend.  S...
