Look deeper than how a man treats you while you're dating. Is this a man who will help build a family legacy with you? This is the topic of my latest blog post. Link in profile. #christiandating #marriage
Watching someone launch into the world is bittersweet. I wrote these words two years ago for my baby girl. They are still applicable today as I watch my daughters and those I love venture into new stages of life. ** Off you go. Into the big world, where I can't see you more often than I can. You are a blessing to so many and will spark into the lives of even more people this year, including those who may be desperate for any light. And I am joyful about that. I really am. Despite my wet eyes, your growing up does bring me joy in the innermost parts of my being. But this panting heart just needs to catch up. It needs to work itself through the initial pain of not having you by my side, with your big smile and big imagination. I have been the key recipient of it for so long, it's hard to share. Give me a few days, sweet girl, and I will be there. These are tears of ache but also of acceptance that you were made for a time such as this. #kindergarten #firstdayofkindergarten #lettinggo #toosentimentalformyowngood
This was all that was left of the church when I snapped this picture. That wall is now gone. Obliterated. Dust. The church stood for decades, just down the street from my family's church. Dwindling attendance and lack of funds forced the congregation to make the difficult choice to sell the property to the city. Here's the thing: The Church (big C) will always exist. The Bible promises that. But the Bible also says that its health and vibrancy is determined by the obedience of its people. My pastor recently asked our congregation: Is church place you attend or a gathering of people who are living on mission together? Convicting. I firmly believe we have fooled ourselves into thinking church is about what we can consume. Are MY needs being met? Is MY voice being heard by leadership? Does this fit into MY schedule? Why won't they play music that pleases ME? We have lost sight, partially or entirely, of our mission. We are to be the people who stand out from culture ON PURPOSE AND FOR AN ETERNAL PURPOSE. We are to be the people who intentionally pour into others the love, truth, grace and compassion we have received. We are to be the people who live our lives OUTWARD instead of inward. We are to be the people who come alongside those who desperately need the hope of Jesus and teach them about Him and the free gift of salvation He gives. We are to do so even if it feels awkward or we think we don't have time or we believe we aren't "qualified" to do so. When we do, our church (little c) stands. Do we believe this? Do we act like this? Do we want to start now? Because, quite frankly, we're running out of time. (Speaking to myself more than anyone else right now.) #JesusHelpUs #church #christian
My family and I like to vacation where the beauty (and reasonably priced lodging) is. We love to explore these United States on our vacations. Our hearts are forever in the upper Midwest, especially with you Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We have such fond memories from our time in South Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota and Colorado. Our home state of #Kansas often gets a bad rap as being completely uninteresting, but in terms of beauty, there's a lot to be found, if you're the kind to slow down and savor. This past weekend, we passed through the Flint Hills. How can you not soak in the peace and serenity of this place? The sunsets here are beyond spectacular. What are your favorite places to explore? Any recommendations for potential vacation spots?
To mentor is to love with intention. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that. . . . #mentoringwomen #mentor

We took the girls to the county fair. We pet the goats. Because we are still farm kids at heart. #citylifefarmheart 🐐
