I’d like you give you an update on my marriage. After all, I can’t sit here at my keyboard and tell you what to do in your lives and marriages, as if I know your circumstances. I can only speak on two things. Our own experience, and the truth of God’s Word. In The Meaning…
Dear husbands, I’m just taking a wild guess here, but I think your wife may struggle with insecurities about herself. You might not know how to handle this dynamic, so I am going to shed a little light on the subject for you. Let me say, keeping your self esteem intact while living in today’s…
I have had a crazy few months. My dad lost half a lung to lung cancer. (I hate that word so much, I can barely type it.) I had a family emergency that left me sitting in the ICU ward praying for my sister’s life. God was so gracious to her. He literally brought her…

I am constantly misplacing my hope. And when I do, I find myself frustrated. I get tossed around by my circumstances and the people around me and I suddenly feel insecure. This never fails to affect my marriage in a negative way. I forget that I am a precious child of God, safe and sound…
