I’m excited to feature a guest post today from my friend Sara Wallace, Gospel-Centered Mom! “I’m doing it wrong. This isn’t working.” From the moment we hold our sweet babies in our arms these thoughts waste no time creeping in.

Contentment is a daily discipline. It’s something I think about. After experiencing its fruit in my life, I’ve learned to love it –to make the choice. I’ve learned to seek it out. As Paul says in Philippians 4:12-13, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the… Read more

Today I’m joining in as part of the 31 Days to a Better Marriage Series! Your husband gets one life to live. And if he fears God, he will keep his marriage vows to you. No do-overs with another woman. So, theoretically, in this one life, you are his one wife. If that’s you, what a blessing to feel secure in… Read more

As women, we are to nurture this God-given space we call home. But what does that look like? While I’m far from “a perfect homemaker,” I’d like to give you a glimpse into my daily life… Read more
Homemaking is a ministry. I’ve internalized that over the past several years as I’ve risen up into my Biblical role as a woman, wife and mother.
