Recently, we ventured into dangerous, uncharted waters in our early parenthood months by experimenting with taking our darling baby boy to places where parents probably shouldn’t take a 7 and a half month old baby (right?). The first of such events was on May 7th. My wife and I really […]

“Reaching the Unreachable” by J.M. Farro
My husband, Joe, has a long-time friend who has been running away from God all of his life. Several years ago, the Lord led me to begin praying for this man and his family on a regular basis. I stood on God’s promise which says: “He will even deliver the […]
“A World of Change (AKA A Trip to the Mall)” by John DiBiase
The past few weeks have certainly been a mix of crazy-busy-ness and “firsts” as a parent. Little Will has grown two teeth, had his first sips of juice from a kiddie mug, and treated his Dad’s lap like a Jumperoo while rockin’ out to music on my office stereo — […]
“I Love You, TinyLove” by John DiBiase
If there’s one thing I’m learning as a new parent, it’s the importance of good baby toys. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this toy before, but I believe it deserves its own post dedicated entirely to it’s goofy ring-shaped, floppy-eyeballed design. The “Tinylove” is a bizarro rattle that is altogether ridiculous […]
“The Results of Waiting on God’s Promises” by J.M. Farro
One of the greatest encouragements we could ever give someone else, is to let them see the results of our standing on God’s promises in times of uncertainty and difficulty. When we are facing adversity, and we refuse to panic or act hastily apart from God, people take notice, because […]
“Right and Wrong Ways to Discipline” by J.M. Farro
When my children were in their teens, we as a family experienced some very tense times. I confess that I often struggled with anger, frustration, and bitterness, and that I didn’t always carry out my parental duties in a godly or Christlike manner. One day, when I was seeking the […]
“I Will Go in the Strength of the Lord” by J.M. Farro
Years ago, when I had an appointment to go to that I was dreading, the Lord gave me a Scripture that encourages me to this day. It’s Psalm 71:16 (NKJV), which says, “I will go in the strength of the Lord God.” I’ve discovered that when I declare this verse, […]
“God’s Plan and Purposes for You” by J.M. Farro
Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted and most beloved verses in all of Scripture, with good reason. It is God’s promise to His devoted ones that He will cause everything—even every hurt and heartache—to profit them somehow. It reads: “And we know that God causes all things to […]
“It’s Been… Educational!” by John DiBiase
It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks as we continue to adjust to life as new parents. Or, as Marty McFly might say, “It’s been… educational!” We’ve recently had a Valentine’s Day day trip to dinner and a movie, a pediatrician check-up visit (he’s just over 16 lbs now […]
“God’s Warning and Rewards” by J.M. Farro
If it seems like I talk about the Word of God a lot in my writing, there’s a very good reason for that. The Word has changed my life, my family, and our circumstances, and I am determined to believe it, and to devote myself to it, all the rest […]
