And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings […]
Since I only have one child and only one chance at raising him, I find myself reflecting on my parenting practices and experiencing a pang of regret from time to time. I am pretty aware that I could have done better or have done more or less. My child is 22 years old, and I […]

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.Proverbs 27:21 (KJV) This time last year, I was in the labor room.

As I was looking through our bookshelf, I decided to pick up life without limits by Nick Vujicic and read it. I have read my share of books, but I never thought in my wildest imagination that Nick’s book would inspire and encourage me as it has. It was like God directed me to read […]
Telling my 5 year old son that his baby brother or sister had died and was no longer growing in my belly was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever done. Telling him that his uncle died just a few months later, and attending the funeral was a close second. Coming home from […]
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. Proverbs 19:13 (KJV) A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.

Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led […]
While driving the little ones to a pumpkin farm last week, I found myself reflecting on my motherhood experience and the sacrifices I have purposefully made for the little ones. I observed that motherhood has indeed given me the opportunity to redo my childhood. It has given me the opportunity to be the mother I […]

The truth about Christianity is that Christians experience trials or challenges like everyone else. The difference is the hope that grounds us and the peace that lives in us.

Is there anybody who is more idealistic than the parent of a newborn child? Those eyes were fixed on that infant for hours on end. We were overwhelmed with emotion both of joy and fear: delight at the wonder of life and this creation that we held in our arms and fear at the responsibility […]

For the believer, […]

A few days ago, Isaiah 45:2 came to mind as I rushed to keep the little one from stumbling while climbing up the stairs. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: Isaiah 45:2 (KJV) […]
You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to […]
