I walked into the hallway and said to her, “Baby, you’ll need to do the stairs, there’s dog hair on them.” This was after she’d already put the vacuum away, thinking she was done with her daily chore. I might have heard, “I know!!” from her lips. Might have received a complimentary eye-roll for no …
I felt his hand on my hip and stirred awake. Glancing at the clock, I sighed. 5:33am. Too early. No wonder I hurt everywhere. Joints stiff and sore, I shifted for a more comfortable position. Remnants of drowsiness rapidly escaped as the pain shot through my body. Not off to a good start, this day. …
You’ve seen her. You might know her. You might even be her. She’s the one who is going and doing and busy all the time, and can’t figure out why she has to physically DO everything, or it doesn’t happen. The women around her often have two reactions – either they feel intimidated, wishing they …
I made the mistake of spending too much time reading reviews on Amazon recently, and while The Respect Dare has around 120 reviews, and a 4.4 out of 5 star rating, of course I focused on the handful of 1’s, 2’s, and 3’s. And at the end of that super stupid use of my time, …
I had the lunge line in one hand, the end of the rope in the other. I quietly told my horse to lunge (walk a circle) around me to the left. She did this. Then she sprung into the air, and started to gallop. Mane tossed in the wind. Eyes wide. Both of ours. Nostrils …
So yesterday I shared a question from a reader on our Facebook page. She was wondering how being modest fit into being married when the competition dressed more provocatively. Was I saying we shouldn’t dress to please our husbands?? The answers and input from readers nailed the question. Be sure to check the comments. 🙂 …
A while back, I wrote a post that caused a bit of a ruckus about modesty. It still surprises me. Given what we’re dealing with in terms of sex and 11 year old girls, I’m honestly surprised more parents aren’t concerned. And it’s still an issue that women have questions about – I received one …
I spent the weekend doing a leadership retreat an awesome group of FUN leaders – at one point we all burst into a kids’ song, “Encourage one another, and build each other up… build each other up… build each other UP!” ( 🙂 Sorry!) Somehow most of us were familiar with the song, and the …
Maybe you’re thinking about it. Maybe the dreaded, “D-word” has popped out of your mouth in a sentence. Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I can’t keep living like this. I need to get away from this pain.” Or… “I hate him/her.” Or even worse, “I feel nothing towards him/her anymore. Why am I even bothering?” …
Of all the dares in the book, Dare 5 strikes the most nerves. A child is injured. Mom saw it coming. She chose to stay out of His way, and God showed up to teach her husband something. But what if it had been worse? Could you have trusted God’s goodness if it hadn’t gone …
