Are you a Daddy's girl? I most certainly am! There is something very special that exists when a Daddy and daughter have a good, loving relationship. I'm thankful to say that not only am I a Daddy's girl, but my daughter is too. This makes me incredibly happy because I see the immense value in having a good earthly father to be an example of what our Heavenly Father is like. Last Father's Day I made my husband a coffee mug that had this quote on it "DADDY- a son's first hero, a daughter's first …
5 Business Identity and Branding Basics when starting your small business
First off, I’m no expert. No swanky business school, no business degree, nada.

Unreciprocated Love
Relationships are hard... all of them. Whether you are a parent, child, sibling, cousin, spouse, co-worker, or friend, your relationships are always going to be a 2-way street.

Do You Know Who You Are?
Do you know what it means to be "In Christ"? Maybe if you've been walking with God for a long time you do, or maybe, like me, this is a new idea to you. My husband and I took an amazing class at our old church called In Him Realities. It was an 8 week course dedicated to understanding what it truly means to live "In Christ". It was one of the most incredible 8 weeks of my life; I wish I could share the entire class with you now, but I guess I will have to settle for sharing the most …
He Gives Grace to the Humble
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity in my home. Unpacking, updating addresses, new part-time job, visitors... the list goes on! In the midst of the busyness, I have constantly been reminded of something I have been lacking... humility. One of the many ways that I know that God isn't done with me yet, is the realization that He tends to place me in situations that grow me, stretch me, and refine me.

Are You Faithful With Your Words?
Did you know that your words are alive? Not only do they convey thoughts and intentions, but they have the power to give life or to cut others down to size. For those of us who speak both through spoken and written word, we have even more of a responsibility to make sure our words are faithful to the Spirit of God in us. A careless word typed is the same as a careless word spoken. When we talk, write, email, etc. we are putting into existence feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. If those …
