There was a season our marriage was hard. It never got into a bad place, but there was a lot of tension and stress. It was the first year our twins were born. I remember the days and nights all tangled together. On top of that, I was trying to breastfeed them and had...
Six-Day Prayer Challenge for Husbands

Leave Yesterday’s Junk Behind
We recently moved to a new place. When my friends asked me how the move was going, I kept saying: I wish I hadn’t accumulated so much stuff! I have beauty samples that I never got to try on; plastic cups and bowls I wouldn’t use in a million years. Not to mention all...

Hold on to the true Christmas spirit
As we were taking down our Christmas tree, our three-year-old plop his head down on the sofa and started crying. He doesn’t want all the excitement and fun of Christmas to end. Only after I repeatedly told him: "Christmas is not over, baby,” then he stopped sobbing...
