I can still remember the first time I heard the Lord speak to me through His Word, even though it was many years ago. My heart was in turmoil at the time—over troubling world events, and over the unsettling situations in my own household. As I thought about the future […]

“Encouragement from Beside the Dentist Chair” by John DiBiase
I’m a bit new to the concept of frequent blogging, but as I’m venturing into these previously personally uncharted waters of pending parenthood, I’m finding there’s plenty to ponder and reflect on when it comes to this topic. (And while Amy continues to fall victim to nausea and an intense […]
“Attack of the Tickle-Toes Duck” by John DiBiase
If I might be completely honest, if you were to ask me if I would like to have children or would like to continue as just a duo with Amy for now (or trio if you count our darling guinea pig – and resident glutton – Indy), I would have […]
“More To This Life” by Amy DiBiase
It is amazing how we can go through our lives, that mainly consist of repetitious acts of work, eating, sleep, and relaxation with our spouse … With the occasional addition of a ”moment” from God that breaks through all the mundane monotony and reminds us what this life is all […]
“It’s His Fault!” by John DiBiase
Tonight was my first experience accompanying my wife… maternity clothes shopping! What’s kind of funny to note is, I was supposed to be her sole accompaniment for this task. Luckily for both of us, another couple was able to join us, so the ladies went off on a quest to find […]

“Promises for Parents” by J.M. Farro
“I’m the One who’s on your side, defending your cause, rescuing your children.” Isaiah 49:25 MSG “I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will give safety to your children and ease them.” Isaiah 49:25 AMP “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great […]
“A Longing Fulfilled” by J.M. Farro
When I gave birth to my sons years ago, I remember telling everyone that I couldn’t wait to be a grandmother. I wasn’t downplaying motherhood. I loved being a mother, and I stayed home with my children full-time, so that I could be with them as much as possible. The […]
“Prayers for Parents” by J.M. Farro
Committing Our Children to God Lord, I commit my children to You, and I ask that You make them willing and obedient, so that they may always receive Your highest and best. I pray that they would always give You first place in their lives, and live as You want […]
