  • Ready to Read? The Ultimate eBook Bundle Sale is Here!

    Last week I mentioned that I have a slight infatuation with eBooks because they’re super cheap! Well, I just thought of another reason I love eBooks. Nowadays there’s an eBook on almost every subject you can think of. Sometimes I go through phases – like the whole foods phase – where I want to learn all I can on a particular subject, but I’m certainly not going to go out and buy a big, long book on it, so instead I just buy (or even download for free at times) an eBook about it.

    If that’s you, too, then the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is something you might want to check out, and the sale starts today! Now, there are a lot of books on “homemaking” type things, but there are several that are not.

  • A Quick Tip for Praying for Others

    The older I get the more burdened I become to pray for other people. It seems everywhere I turn there’s another need. Some seem small on the spectrum of world problems like praying for a good grade on a test or the motivation to exercise or something like that, but to the person who has the need it’s important. After all, God tells us to bring everything to Him in prayer (Philippians 4:6). I  think everything literally means everything. Not to mention that God only hears the prayers of believers (1 Peter 3:12; John 9:31). That makes praying for others not just a duty but more of an honor. Without you, a Christian friend in the life of an unbeliever, there is no hope of God hearing their prayers. They need your prayers for them!

  • When Godly People Do Ungodly Things

    For several months now I’ve been struggling with reliving parts of my past. The memories come rapid-fire – so fast that I can’t stop them. And they come at the most insignificant times. Like standing in the check-out line at the grocery store. Suddenly I’m a 29-year-old sitting in my apartment texting that guy over and over again who obviously wasn’t “the one”. Or I’m remembering this most painful relationship or these that came afterwards. Each of these memories leave me with this anchor of shame that I can’t shake easily. The questions rise up, again, and one in particular. I ask, “How did I let this happen? How could I have done such ungodly things?”

  • Do You LOVE eBooks as Much as I Do?

    So I have a slight obsession with eBooks. Mainly because most of them are free or really, really cheap, and they are literally with me everywhere I go – on my iPhone, iPad, or computer. (Nope, you don’t need a Kindle to read eBooks. Did you know that? There’s an app for that, and that’s all you need!)

    Last year when the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle went on sale, I said, “Yes! Me, please!” and received many, many books for just pennies (plus a lot of bonuses)!

    Well, it’s back! The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle goes on sale next week, April 23rd at 8:00 a.m. (EST) and will continue through Monday, April 28th at midnight (EST)!, and this year it’s even better because there’s an option to buy the Kindle versions of the books (last year it was just PDFs)! All I have to say is that makes me very, very happy!

  • When Your Pastor Takes His Life

    Five months ago John and I went to the church for the first time. Sitting on the third row we sang with the band, then sat down to listen. The pastor got up to teach us, and we were filled with God’s truth in a way we hadn’t been for months. It was like the feeling you get after a long run – desperate for water, but you don’t want it too cold or else it will sting going down. His teaching was quenching and warm.

    We wanted to know more about this man who taught us this day, hopeful that he might be the man we would one day call “pastor”. So we followed him on Facebook because that’s what you do in 2014 when you want to know someone better. You stalk them first. But we did it the inconspicuous way by “following” him without asking to be his “friend”. Well, that’s what we did – until he sent us a friend request. (more…)

  • Single Saturdays: Moving On from Your Past

    I have a confession to make. Recently my past has taken over my thoughts in a way like never before. It seems that I just can’t get away from memories and regrets and secret wishes that I could do it over. I’m having a hard time moving on from my past. But I think I’m starting to have a breakthrough.

    I am so excited to tell you that I’m going to be contributing to Woman to Woman Ministries every second Saturday of the month in a series called “Single Saturdays”! Today I share with you what I’ve learned about these obsessive thoughts from my past and one way I’m overcoming them. I hope you’ll join me there!
