Author Chat with Julie Lavender on Her Book, Strength for All Seasons
Life has more than the four seasons we use to mark the passage of time. As the mom of a young toddler, I feel as though I have already experienced so many new seasons: from fresh baby snuggles to actually playing outside with my boy and watching the wonder on his face as he discovers new experiences. All those milestones–from sitting to crawling to babbling to walking to attempting to talk–are just the tip of the iceberg of the seasons motherhood presents. As I’m learning, each one brings its joys and its challenges. My friend and gifted author Julie Lavender wrote a book to encourage women in all seasons of…

2 Lies the Enemy Tells Us about Being Single
This week’s post talked about God’s timing, and I think it’s “timely” that my guest post for DailyPS.com on singleness also published the same week. In every season of life, most of us would probably admit we’re “waiting” for something … to get through that advanced math class, to hear back on college applications, or to receive that long-awaited promotion. Many people are also waiting and wondering when their relationship status might change. Though I don’t often blog about singleness, I think this topic is important, because it’s often misunderstood. If you’re single or know someone who is, I’d encourage you to click over to DailyPS.com to read the full post.…
