Please don’t tell me I need to balance my life!
Balancing life is the way of the world, not God’s way. The world’s scheme is to have us busily distracted by all our tasks and all our roles and all our responsibilities through what it calls “balance”. The world would have us believe that we can have it all through what it calls “balance”. Have…

Welcomed at the Well: Reflection on the Samaritan Woman
Nameless, the Samaritan woman was married five times. She was now living with a man who had no obligations to her (John 4:18).

Lessons from Eve
Most of the world know her story. Jesus confirms her existence (Matthew 19:4). She was created in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:22).

Why The Suffering? Meditations on the Steadfast Faith of Job
Suffering is a universal theme. Suffering knows no boundaries of peoples, times, or cultures.

The Secret of the Proverbs 31 Woman’s Heart

The Excellent Wife: Her To-Do List
God’s Word is a treasure chest for all practical things on this topic, but my favorite passage is Proverbs 31:10-31. In context, we have a loving mother teaching her son (Proverbs 31:1) the distinguishing traits of an excellent wife (Proverbs 31:10). God is so gracious to us wives as to give us Proverbs 31:10-31 in…

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18 (ESV)
There was nothing I could say to justify myself in light of this Scripture; I could not even let my husband’s sins and failures justify my sins.
