I have felt like such a loser lately. Each time I sit down to write a post, all I see is the blank screen staring back at me. I’ve got nothing. I want to encourage wives. I feel so burdened for women who might be feeling alone and isolated. I want to tell them to…
Why does it feel so good to be right? Scott and I aren’t exactly passive people. We are expert arguers. Ask anyone who has spent time with us. It’s like our very own debate club that nobody wants to be a part of. I tell myself that we’re just outgoing and vocal, but really we…
If you’re a Christian and have been on Facebook for more than three seconds over the past few days, you’ve read about Mark Driscoll. He is facing a mountain of accusations. I cannot imagine what he is feeling. True or not, this mob mentality is damaging and wrong. “And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if…
When I was young, I used to think being invisible would be a fabulous super power. I have since changed my mind after being ignored too many times. Deep down, people want to be seen, heard, and loved. Countless women go to bed each night wondering if they will ever feel noticed. If you feel…
Regret is a ruthless master. It’s easy to feel regret over all of the things you have failed at. I have a long list that taunts me and drags me down. Oh, how I have wished for that rewind button! I would go back, knowing all of the things I know now, and fix the…
Before we got married, I had a pretty good idea of what a “good wife” looked like. She’s always willing to serve, she has a permanent smile, she’s driven, she sets aside time for her husband, she gives him her best, she’d to anything for him, and the list goes on. First off, that short…
It’s the ultimate buzz-kill. A tiny chastity belt. A downer. A fun-ruiner. A zombie-maker. Seriously. How many times have you laid in bed at the end of the day, mindlessly pinning on Pinterest or scrolling through Instagram on your phone? If you’re like me, maybe you have no idea how many times—a lot of times,…
I have finally realized that my husband shows affection differently than what I imagined it would look like. He isn’t constantly hugging me and kissing me. He doesn’t shower me with compliments. In fact, some of those things are a bit difficult for him to do. This can be frustrating for a wife who needs…
This post is for the wife who is ready to bolt. The one who’s fed up and sick of feeling alone. I agree, it’s unfair that you are disregarded. I feel so strongly about it because I was once there, but the strange thing is . . . I can barely recall it. Things have…
Today my dear childhood friend, Kimmie, get’s married. Last night it got me thinking back to all the feelings surrounding that day. The comments, the emotions, the advice, the mishaps, the excitement, the nervousness, the thankfulness. And I could go on and on. But today I’d like to pray for her and every bride or…
