Did you know you have a super power? It's true. It's the ability to decide for yourself what your life is going to look like. Think about that for a minute: You. Get to decide. What YOUR life. Looks like. It's true. So a few months ago, knowing summer was right around the corner, I sat down to figure out for myself: What did I want my life to look like this summer? What would be a good schedule for me and for my family? Would I try to get a babysitter a couple days a week so I could write as much as possible, or would I babysit other people's kids instead? When would I work? When would I clean? When would I read the Bible? Would I stay up late or wake up early? What activities would I do with my kids, and when would I do them? What would my summer look like? How would I learn more...
6 Easy Ways to Nurture Your Children’s Faith This Summer
I'm homeschooling my kids this summer. I don't homeschool year round (they go to a very lovely Christian school during the school year), but just in the summer so they don't forget everything they learned the year before. Apparently kids can lose up to a month's worth of learning if they don't practice their skills regularly over the summer, and that's definitely something I want to avoid. I want them to practice and have that competitive edge. So I've been spending the last few months doing a bit of planning and research: What skills do my children most need to practice? What skills do I most want them to learn? What really good resources can I find to keep it fun and educational for them, but still super easy for me? And as I sat down to determine what summer learn more...
Constantly Comparing Yourself to Others? Here’s How to Stop
Do you ever look around, see other women being awesome, and feel like you're not good enough or that you don't measure up? Maybe it's the fit mom -- the one constantly posting her work-out videos and hot gym selfies on Instagram. She has kids climbing all over her, but that doesn't stop her! She's a beast in the best way, while your body's basically a lumpy, dumpy mess. Maybe it's the class mom at your kids' school. She volunteers for everything, her cupcakes are always Pinterest-perfect works of art, and she always looks like the cover of a magazine. Meanwhile, your shirt passed the sniff test this morning. Barely. Or maybe it's the friend who constantly posts pictures of her nice house and fancy vacations all over Facebook. You know you shouldn't be jealous, but it's hard not learn more...

Want to Raise World Changers? Do These Five Things.
School shootings. Political unrest. Racism. Greed. Selfishness. Seems like every time you turn on the news, all you see is a world desperately in need of the hope of Jesus. As Christians, we have a call to love and serve others. To point the world to Jesus and to make the world a better place. And honestly, I think most of us do want to -- we just don't always know how. Or we get so overwhelmed by the size of the problem that we think we have nothing to offer. That what little we can offer can't possibly help. So we don't even try. Or we don't try very hard. Well, today, I have good news for you: God didn't ask you to save the whole world. That's Jesus's job. Your job is simply to be a good steward of the resources and opportunities you are given.
