Creating Beauty In Our Little Corners

Creating Beauty In Our Little Corners

What are some of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen?  Something in nature? An act of human and love and kindness? As moms we know that cultivating beauty in our homes brings us and our family peace and joy. Edith Schaeffer says, in her classic The Hidden Art of Homemaking: A Christian, who realizes…

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

A Commentary on the Existential Need for Joy By Summer Kazim “I just want to be happy,” is a phrase we’ve all used, or at least heard someone use at some point in our lives. Close your eyes and picture a time when you were truly happy.  Not just momentarily elated, but feeling an indescribable…

Creative in God’s Image

Creative in God’s Image

Ephesians 4:24: Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. The image of God is shockingly absent in all other world religions.  In Judaism it is an unfulfilled image.  Images of God are suspect in every way in Islam, so to examine what it means to be an image bearer…

Weighing the Value of Mass Produced Worship Music

Weighing the Value of Mass Produced Worship Music

By Summer Kazim I stood in church, blankly staring towards the stage as the band played the bridge of “All Hail King Jesus”. Normally I would have been lifting my hands and shouting the lyrics, but today I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Why bother if this is all just meant to make me…

Becoming a Party Family!

Becoming a Party Family!

Psalm 118:24 This is the very day God acted – let’s celebrate and be festive! (MSG)  Shirley Dobson quotes her husband, Dr. James Dobson in her book Let’s Make a Memory, “The great value of traditions comes as they give a family a sense of identity, a belongingness.  All of us desperately need to feel that we’re not…

Teaching Kids to Trust God

Teaching Kids to Trust God

Did you grow up with the same hymn that I did Trust and Obey? “There’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.”  So if we love that idea, why is it so difficult to put into action? What is it about motherhood that increases our anxieties? What is it…

Teaching Kids to Abide in Jesus

Teaching Kids to Abide in Jesus

Abide is a word kids only hear at church. It means to stay with, stick around, remain, or follow. How do we stay with, stick around, remain in or follow Jesus? Jesus prayed by himself and with his disciples, he knew the scriptures so well that he could quote them, and he was always obedient to…

Rest?

Rest?

By Abigail Pendrak My dear friend Abigail was kind enough to share the transcript of her very popular talk on rest at the Rio Women’s Retreat, so enjoy this guest post! Before we can look at why and how to rest, I want to start in Deuteronomy 5. It is the second place the Ten…

Teaching Kids Peace

Teaching Kids Peace

What is our goal as Christian moms?  Because the wrong goal sets us off on the wrong course. What if my goal is to have a happy, peaceful home?  This sounds reasonable. Anger is blocked goals, right?  Who in your family is able to block that picturesque goal of peace?  Every one of your children…
