5 Steps Toward Getting Your House in Order
If you missed the first post in the series, you can read it here. Before we can get into any of the overwhelming number of ideas that are out there to make our homes better places, we have to set some personal ground rules for ourselves. If you’re anything like me, new ideas only work […]
Meditation Monday: My Ministry
“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.” 2 Corinthians 4:1 One simple memory verse has really gotten me to thinking so much about how I view ministry versus how God does.

Raising My Very Own Wonder Boy
I find it equally humorous and humbling to realize the difference in perspective I’ve gained since becoming a mother.

Refocused on the Purpose of Exceptionally Average
Six months ago, I fumbled through the steps one must take to start a blog. I knew it was something God called me to do, but the details were still hazy. All I knew was the title that has yet to blow anyone away. Exceptionally Average What’s to love about a name like that? Isn’t […]
