For the Love of Women
I am a loved woman. This is the feeling after leaving the Allume Conference in Greenville, South Carolina. I’m loved by bloggy-friends. I’m loved by my editors and agents. {I am loved by my family at home, of course.} Mostly, I’m loved by God. I’m not saying this in a prideful way but in a… [Continue Reading]
Loving the Overlooked and Looked-Down-Upon
They’re often overlooked in society. And when they’re noticed, they’re looked down upon. The high school dropouts. The immigrants. Teen parents.

(I’ve struggled with that!) Too often we try to fill ourselves up with the wrong things. In the end, after much pain and heartache, we… [Continue Reading]
I’m Thinking About YOU
You know what I’ve been thinking about? I’ve been thinking about YOU. You matter. You are significant, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. You are wonderful. When you see yourself as God sees you, you don’t have to worry about an identity crisis. You are his child. You have… [Continue Reading]
Titanic Love Stories
Even in horrific events such as the Titanic disaster, amazing stories emerge. Stories of heroics, stories of survival, and even stories of love. There were more than a dozen newly married couples on board the grand ship and many more couples who were impacted by the tragedy. Among those are these touching stories of love…. [Continue Reading]
Love Your Work, Love Your Kids
As I wrote this, I was heading to Idaho to hang out with ten other novelists for three days to plot and pray. I was looking forward to three full days to connect with friends.
