A Morning Prayer II
Make this a morning counted well, numbered right,
grant me the wisdom to honor the Son’s dawning
and grant me the patience to find
healing in His wings.
May I learn, in the journey from east to west
and the fifteen waking hours between
just how great the love
and how full the mercy
and how far my sin is cast away.

You’ve been told you’re too much: Too much education, too much thought, too much boldness, too much confidence, too “together”.
How to Open Your Home with Small Children
When you’re a mom of young kids, leaving to disciple people in a foreign country probably isn’t on your agenda; your primary discipleship is to the little people under your roof. But you also have another mission field: The one outside your door.
How to Successfully Read Through the Bible in a Year
It’s the new year and if you’re like me, you’re starting a Bible reading plan! Apps like YouVersion make it so easy to pick a reading plan for the year – especially one for reading through the whole Bible. I love these, because reading through the entire Bible will help you see the big picture (or metanarrative) of the gospel, but it will also force you to read books you might otherwise skip over! I am entering my fourth year reading through the Bible (chronologically this time – my second time this way!) and it’s something I always encourage, even if it takes you longer than a year!

Stop Telling Girls to “Save Themselves”
I recently shared an older post of mine – one I wrote shortly after I got married. It’s the story of why I waited until my wedding day to lose my virginity, and I why I did so with no regrets. Shortly after I received a comment: “I like this article, but the title indicates you lose your purity when you get married.”
This statement, though well-intentioned, reveals the problem we face in the church today. Today’s Christian culture treats virginity as equal to purity, when they are not the same thing at all.

The Ultimate Toddler Advent Plan
We are in that awkward stage of marriage where the holidays are no longer the “free and easy” of our dating days, when events could be attended without coordinating a babysitter. But we’re not quite to the stage of parenting where our girls can really engage with the holiday, either.
