Wisdom for Women : Christian Articles

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish [...]

It appears spring is right around the corner, knocking on the door, skipping up the walk, coming in for a landing, you get the picture.  It’s just about here!  No one, anywhere on the face of the planet could possibly be more ready for it’s arrival than I am. Winter has finally broke my yuckometer! [...]

I’m MAD!  I’m SAD!  AND I’m Glad! Mad at the enemy for tearing apart marriages, SAD for the lovers who stop loving each other in tangible ways on a regular basis. Sad for the casualties left behind because one person put their own selfish desires above all else. This world is full of confusing messages. Sexuality abounds [...]

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Marriage Conference at our church with my husband. The speakers were Rusty and Leisa Nelson and they spoke to the structure of marriages and the correlation between the Church and our spousal relationships.

It has come to our house. I was afraid it would, have battled against it, refuse to consider the possibility of it’s arrival, but it has made an appearance anyway.  It’s the dreaded flu. Thankfully most of us managed to get a flu shot this year so that’s helpful. It seems this years strain is [...]

This week is not progressing the way I had intended it to. I am without a vehicle, carless, non-transportation endowed, walking, hoofing it, on foot, sans carriage, you get the picture. I can’t go nowhere! WAHHH! It seems J’s beloved truck has serious issues. They told us at the shop it would take way more [...]

I am a little melancholy right now. I assume it is the aftermath of the wonderful trip J and I took up into the mountains last week. The ‘rents came up and stayed with the brothers while we snuck  away for a couple of nights. It’s been too many years to count since we did [...]

I read a story recently that was a little shocking to me. It concerned a wee little lamb born way across the world in the region of Georgia (the one near Russia, not the one near Alabama!).  The mama sheep never let on that anything was different about this pregnancy compared to the other times [...]

How has God encouraged you this week? How has God encouraged you this past month? How has God encouraged you as a result of the Conference? Can you name 5 ways He has encouraged you? How are you thanking Him for the ways He has encouraged you?

Little girls strolling on skates and on bikes Climbing trees, skinning knees, squealing with delight Ordinary jeans, shoes, pearls and curls Mothers who worked in life’s constant swirls Sounds of laughter soon fade in the evening’s twilight Broken hearts, shattered dreams, stormy minds lost in flight Expectations surround us, our doubts seems so high Outrageous [...]
