For some, it’s candy canes and gingerbread houses.  …Others it’s the loss of a loved one. …Some it’s that new car they hope they are getting.  My mom always wished she could do more for people. My husband wants to get our boys the moon as always. I’m the budgeter in the family. He’s the […]

Hi Happy Sisterhood, I hope your Thanksgiving was amazing and you got a few days to rest and realize all we have to be thankful for.  If you find yourself  1- …in just a little funk or  2- …if you find yourself in a pickle with a relationship or two or 3- …maybe you are […]

Happy Monday,  This is the third blog in a series of blogs we’ve been doing on enmeshment, detachment, and where we want to be: DIFFERENTIATED! In the last two blogs we covered in depth what it looks like to be differentiated in a marriage and with your kids. In this blog, I want to touch […]

There are two scriptures that I’ve heard all my life and have somehow not really ever put together, even though they are back to back. I’ve graduated from three Bible schools, lived on the mission field for five years, and been a pastor’s wife for some time now. I guess I just never put two […]
