Marriage

Biblical encouragement and real-life insights to help you build a Christ-centered marriage that thrives through every season.

  • Where’s the Rain, Lord?

    Let’s have a quick history lesson about rain and the importance of it during a drought, shall we? Have you heard of the Dust Bowl? This was a drought that happened during the 1930s in the south-central United States in the aftermath of horrific dust storms. There are several interesting factors in this drought. One…

  • Disconnected

    “I’m sorry, but the number you have been trying to reach has been disconnected.” Not really, but in my head, that’s how I felt during my time off, and it was wonderful!  I chose to disconnect from the rush of things and slow down to spend time with my husband and kids.  I have missed…

  • Finding The Time

    I don’t think I have yet to cover the topic of “homemaking” on my blog.  I have mainly focused on encouraging each of you weekly.  However, this week has been a little hectic, and I thought I might answer the one question I get a lot.  “How do you make time to do it all?”…

  • I’m Drawing A Line

    “You see this line right here?” said emphatically as we drew a line in the dirt with a stick.  “You better not cross it!”   Did you ever do that as a kid, as a teen, or even now as an adult?  I have.  As a kid, many of the times it was in fun.  No…

  • Where’s Your Garden?

    I am a very routine kind of girl.  I love lists, and I love to have structure in my everyday life.  However, I know there are days that will happen to throw my days off, and when that happens, I do my best to adapt.  Yet, knowing exactly what is going to happen within my…

  • Keeping Up With The Jones’

    Have you ever heard of a game called “Meet the Jones’”?  As a kid, my sisters and I learned this game while on the evangelistic field.  The point of the game was to bring in an unsuspecting individual and introduce them to this quirky family called the Jones’.  The setup required two chairs separated by…

  • I’m Letting Go

    As I sit here to write, my mind is running away with all sorts of things.  I start to go in one direction and then end up in another. My first thought is, “Am I hitting a writer’s block? Do I not have enough content to provide?”  STOP! And that is exactly what I did. …

  • We’re Just Friends

    “We’re just friends.” That was both mine and my husband’s response when asked if we were dating.  I don’t think that either of us was ready to admit that we were enjoying each other’s company (at least not enough to say we were “dating”). Let’s go back a few years to high school.  Yes, I…

  • In The Beginning…

    ….there was nothing.  Of course there were thoughts of “what am I meant to do” or “what are my goals”, but there were never any thoughts of starting a blog.  Then one day I heard a podcast about starting a blog.  It got my wheels turning.  What if I took everything that I have been…
