What was the significance of the swaddling clothes?
We know that Christ was not born on December 25th. It didn't happen. For many though, that is the day His birth is commemorated. Regardless of views on the holiday that has been labeled "Christmas", the birth of Jesus Christ is something that should be remembered and celebrated all throughout the year. He was born … Continue reading What was the significance of the swaddling clothes?
An Old Fashioned Fall
Autumn has come and gone, and I'm still trying to figure out where on earth it went. The last lingering beauties of fall are quickly and gracefully being replaced by the frosty beauty of winter. At the end of this summer, I did a post sharing with you all some of the slow-paced, beautiful things … Continue reading An Old Fashioned Fall
Plead For Mercy
If you hadn't already guessed, I have a patriot's heart that bleeds the colors of my nation's flag. (Yeah, it probably comes as a shocker to most of you, I know.)

While I typically stick to History posts, today I decided to share something that has been on my heart. It has been a time of great rejoicing for me as we have been witness to … Continue reading Feminism vs Biblical Femininity
Giving God Our Best
I wonder how many of us can say that we give God our best 100% of the time? The answer of course is none of us! There has never been and never will be a human who has given their best to the Lord 100% of the time. We are human and we fail—often miserably. … Continue reading Giving God Our Best
Timeless Beauty
One of life's greatest blessings is parents who raise you in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I am incredibly grateful for a mother who is invested in my life, and wants to see me live in the perfect will of God. So many times throughout my childhood, I remember my mom telling my … Continue reading Timeless Beauty
Hearts of Service
Mother's day is just around the corner, and as I was pondering mothers and all they do, I started thinking about how they are a wonderful example of selflessness. One thing that stands out to me, is the hearts of service that mothers have. They are the very example of servants. Do you remember those … Continue reading Hearts of Service
