The hubs and I have been in a funk lately. Ya know the kind I'm talking about. Where everything the other says and does is super annoying, even their breathing sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and it feels like their laugh will make your ears bleed. If you just scoffed and thought, "Gah, that's …

Hey! I’m Stephanie, just a small town girl raising her 4 littles with her high school sweetheart who she falls in and out of like, but never love, with. I prefer outside to inside, sweets to meats, and dogs to cats.

If all the …
What Are We Missing?
God places a dream in each of our hearts: for some, it's reaching foreign countries with the Gospel, ministering to military families, sharing the Good News with scared and emotionally/physically scarred people in shelters, or engaging with complete strangers through writing, all the while pointing them to Christ. Often, however, though God paints the picture …
Femininity In a Masculine World
My profession is not one of which I dreamed of pursuing; more like it pursued me and when it caught me, it tackled me to the ground. As a little girl my dreams of a future career changed as often as the seasons, but one consistent shade could be found in each season; vibrant femininity. …
To The Newly-Wed Husband..
I want to start by offering a heartfelt, "Congratulations!" Marriage is rewarding, but it's also work. Don't be disheartened, I'm going to impart some wisdom that when trying times arise, instead of frustration, there'll be fondness directed towards your wife. Remember, where you need respect, she needs LOVE. I pray these words will be glorifying …
