Easy Yogurt Scones…

This is a recipe I make often, because it is really easy and it is so nice to have in the freezer for when people come over. Everyone likes a good scone, and these one’s please them every time. Easy Yogurt Scones: 3 Cups flour, 3 tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, 1/2 tsp

Renewed Resolve…

Okay so the last couple of months have probably been the hardest in my career as mommy. Getting a hang of having both kids in a very discipline heavy stage has been wearing on me. And to be honest I was starting to despair a bit. I was feeling the weight of my task in

Trayvon Martin, Race, and the Gospel: You have probably seen and heard about the sad case of Trayvon Martin being shot by a volunteer neighborhood watchman. John Piper writes about the Christian response  to these kind of racially tense stories. Should I Divorce If I’m Miserable? Russel Moore answers this question. His response shouldn’t surprise anyone, but

Feel It’s Offense…

 As we approach Easter, it is important to focus our hearts on the cross. Most years, I have walked into the Easter season much like I walk into any other season. Thoughtlessly. But how much time do I spend preparing for Christmas? It usually takes months for me to not just get ready for the festivities, but

New Mercies…

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” ~Lamentations 3:22-23 The life of a mother is one where mercy needs to refresh us every morning we open our eye’s.

Stephen’s Story…

Why Imposters Love the Church: This is a pretty chilling article by Russel Moore about Christian imposter’s, like wolves in sheep’s clothing reeking havoc in the church. It is an important read. Contentment: I have been thinking about writing about this exact subject recently (and might still write about it), but Rebekah from the Femina Blog sure captured what I have felt

Seek Peace And Pursue It…

I apologize for the quiet blog this week. My life has been out of sorts. A lot has been going on and it has made blogging and sometimes even thinking a pretty large task. Peace has been a struggle both in my heart and trying to keep it in the flesh. So I thought I would just post

I Wrote A Book!

Okay so before you think you should become my best friend because I am about to come into some real J.K Rowling money, let me confess that I meant this title to be a tad misleading. I did indeed write a book…but it is no Tolkien! A few months ago, I had an idea for a
