Robin sent me a picture of how stuffed her car was for Alabama. Thanks so much to the families who donated and helped fill this car!

The devastation in Alabama is heartbreaking and like most of you I want to help! Thanks to Robin, a friend of the Grace post we have the opportunity contribute. She is from Alabama and has teamed up with a church in her home state. Robin will be taking donated items to be distributed while she [...]

This week I sat down with my friend Jean. We met in a small group ladies’ Bible study. In the year that I’ve known her she has been raising funds, along with her husband, in order to be missionaries to the Middle East working with Muslims. Since our Bible studies are relatively short, the story [...]

I’ve addressed one aspect of abuse in my post Responding Responsibly.  I have a lingering concern that there are women hurting around me in silence. Abused by husbands who say it is their God given authority. Maybe this wife watches her husband abuse her children. The wife often wants to obey the Lord and so [...]

** This is the conclusion to the re-posted story from earlier in the week. Please read Part 1 first. I hope you enjoy learning about her!** So after this initial introduction their conversation continues. The wise woman goes on to tell him “Long ago they used to say, ‘Get your answer at Abel,’ and that [...]

**This week I was talking to a friend about Abigail and it reminded me of this story from 3 years ago. Since I’m in the midst of my book rewrite I decided to do a repost. I love this story and the woman who is remembered as wise.** While some religions debase women, our God [...]

Most of you know about Women of Acts, and I wanted to let you know how our most recent event went! This is what I encountered on my way to set up for the Women of Acts event yesterday morning. Panic does not begin to describe the way I felt as I took the suggested [...]

Ok, I probably wouldn’t get a face lift because I can’t really imagine having someone cut on my face in hopes to make it look better. I’m more of a Botox kind of girl. Since I’m only 29 and 2/2 I can probably hold off on any of these measures for a while. However this [...]
