Helping Women Find Their Passion, Purpose and Power in Christ
One by one, the women around me rose, their smiles lighting the sanctuary as the ushers handed each a pink carnation. I stayed glued to my seat, wishing the floor would open and swallow me. Our pastor had just called the moms in the congregation to stand for their annual Mother’s Day recognition. They deserved […]
Mother’s Day is this Sunday! But if you’re a mom reading this, we probably don’t have to remind you.

I love the ocean. I love everything about the ocean, watching the rolling waves and how they repetitively reach for the shore, inhaling the salty sea air, listening to the seagulls above.

Can you remember the best gift you’ve ever received? One of my most memorable gifts was the year I was 6 years old. There was a particular Barbie doll I really wanted. I asked Santa for it, I talked about it all the time, and waited in anticipation of Christmas morning when I would look […]

There’s something about winter that feels like a long season of waiting and anticipation. We wait and look forward to spending time with family and friends. We wait in anticipation for the joyful moments under the Christmas tree with little ones, and look forward to the quiet, cozy moments after the hustle and bustle wanes. […]
