Yesterday was one of those days when my relationship with my husband, Joe, was sorely tested. With houseguests soon to arrive at our house, I was really counting on him to help me with some major chores. Unfortunately, he chose to begin working on another project that had absolutely no […]

“April Showers Bring May Ponderings” by John DiBiase
It’s been awhile since I last blogged. Since then, I’ve transitioned over into a new decade of age (yep, I turned 30 last week! ugh!), we had our first baby shower with friends of ours in Nashville while we were visiting, and Amy just keeps getting… bigger. I’m finding that […]
“God is Prepared to Do the Impossible” by J.M. Farro
I once heard someone say, “God is prepared to do the impossible if we trust Him enough to ask.” The Holy Spirit has been bringing these words to my remembrance a lot lately, and I feel as though the Lord is really stretching my faith. I’ll be thinking of, or […]
“Forget the Crisis-Prayers” by J.M. Farro
I was raised in a Christian household, and had been praying almost since the day I had learned how to talk. But if I were to be completely honest, I’d have to say that I did most of my praying when I was in trouble, and very little praying otherwise. […]
“God’s Promise of Provision for Your Family” by J.M. Farro
There have been many promises over the years that the Lord has spoken to my heart in times of trouble, even where my job as a parent is concerned, but one of the most precious ones for me is Psalm 37:25 (NIV), where David says: “I was young and now […]
TobyMac’s Advice for New Parents
John DiBiase: Any advice for new parents? TobyMac: Are you a new parent? John: Almost… October. TobyMac: Really?! Awesome, man!! John: Yeah… I’m scared out of my mind! TobyMac: It’s amazing, dude! Y’know, I only have two regrets that have stuck with me my whole life. One is: […]
“God Will Do It Swiftly!” by J.M. Farro
Have you ever been in a situation—or had a loved one in a situation—where time was of the essence? It seems that all you can focus on is how the clock is ticking away, and nothing seems to be happening. I felt that way the other day when I was […]
“Cultivate Thankfulness” by J.M. Farro
I recently heard a godly man talking about how upset he was when his father passed away. As he thought about all of the plans he and his dad had made for the future, he became bitter and depressed. When the Lord dealt with him about having an unthankful attitude, […]
“The Doppelganger Experiment” by Michael Weaver
So, how exactly do you explain death to a 3-year old? If you have an answer, please let me know. Recently, I could not come up with an answer myself, so I chose to bypass the issue. Let me explain… My daughter has, or had, a pet hamster named Eleanor (a […]
“Honesty is the Best Policy?” by John DiBiase
Among my many faults is the tendency to wear my heart of my sleeve… of every piece of clothing I own. On the eve of Easter, we visited Amy’s family as part of the traditional sharing of the holidays between our respective families. This also happened to be the first […]
