Who doesn't love a good quiz? Gotta admit, I fall for too many of them. After all, don't I need to know what Gilmore Girls character I am or which Disney Princess I resemble? Even more fun is when you take a quiz with friends. Although I have to admit that I was a little embarrassed a few weeks ago when my online Bible study played a game where you gained points for every time you fixed your hair, wore real pants, wore a bra, put on makeup, or other things like that.

So an interesting thing happened to me last week. It was a beautiful Spring day—just warm enough and super windy when some friends stopped by to help my Dad with a project. Being a people, person, I loved it! I like being around people, and it was so good to spend some time chatting my another woman. Plus, I really enjoyed watching their little boy’s enthusiasm for the project. (I love seeing life through the eyes of a child.) It wasn’t until they were about to lea

One of the greatest gifts that God gives us to help us live a life worthy of our calling is the gift of a mentor. They help you learn all the things you don’t even know you don’t know.

The aunt said, “You have to go ask your mommy.” To which the little girl replied “I already, did she said “no”. Now you go ask her.” And of course, I thought this post was adorable.

Wholeheartedly following God’s call and doing whatever it takes will require an investment of time.

A few weeks ago my friend told me about some people who were raised in the church only to have negative experiences totally taint their opinion of church life. As she was talking I had to admit, I could understood her friend's perspective. Raised in the church, I’ve seen it all.
