Autumn Glory | A Poem About Fall & Apple Pressing

2016-09-25

Our church community gathers for an annual apple pressing and this year I missed it! I was bummed to have missed out, but my kids had colds and they needed to rest at home. Knowing that the apple press was coming, I felt inspired to write a poem to share with everyone. For anyone wondering what an apple press is…it is when there is a bountiful harvest of apples and you use a machine to squeeze the juice out of them and then make apple cider! It is so much fun and delicious! So if any of you are celebrating fall with an apple press, check out this poem I wrote about fall, God’s love for us, apple pressing and how it all correlates.

As We Are Unveiled {New Worship Song}

2015-07-27

When I was preparing for the release of my book The Unveiled Wife, I was nervous! I had poured my heart into the manuscript and I exposed my heart throughout it.

The Unveiled Wife book is based on a true story…my story…and everything I detail within the pages of that book all happened just like I recorded them.

I explain in Chapter 3 of The Unveiled Wife that my friend at the time, Aaron, handed me the most thoughtful birthday present. My response to his gift was this: There are certain moments that you cherish forever, ones that strike you to the core of who you are, moments that are hard to top. Receiving this gift was one of those for me.” (Page 15) Aaron would have no clue

This Is For Wives Who Are Married To A Non-Believer

2014-05-13

When I was thinking about which topic I should choose for my article this month, God continued to bring the same topic to mind: women who have husbands who are non-believers or whose husbands have turned away from the Lord. Each time this topic came to mind, I dismissed it because this is not my story. My husband is a Christian and has been throughout our entire marriage and dating relationship. So, how could I write about this topic? The truth is, God has continued to bring women who are in this circumstance into my life and has asked me to minister to them. Although at first I felt ill-equipped, God gave me the words to use. The verse that I have shared most often as
