The Unveiled Wife: My Family Life Radio Interview

2016-01-23

LISTEN TO THE 3 Part RADIO BROADCAST OF MY STORY HERE I wrote The Unveiled Wife to encourage other wives who may feel isolated and alone. I wrote it for any wife who desires to draw closer to God and to her husband. I wrote it for the wife who has a strong marriage and wants to still grow. My hope and prayer is that this book continues to be a light for many. I had the opportunity to travel to Family Life and be interviewed on their radio program, sharing my story. If you want to hear me on the radio with Dennis and Bob from Family Life just click on the image above! Family Life just celebrated 40 years of ministry. So many marriages

This Is For Everyone Who Feels Like Giving Up

2015-10-28

The feeling of giving up has a wide array of accompanying emotions. Depression, anger, confusion, frustration, sadness, bitterness, exhaustion… Have you been there? Are you in that place of giving up right now? We all face different types of circumstances that test us and challenge us. Being confronted with the thought of giving up as emotions swirl around your heart is never an easy thing to experience or navigate. Personally, I remember feeling like I didn’t know what else to do or where to go. I felt like giving up was the only option. Until a friend one day encouraged me to hang on. I didn’t know what that looked like or if I had the strength to, but just hearing someone else cheer me on

Thirty-One Prayers For My Husband & Thirty-One Prayers For My Wife

2015-09-10

Now is the time for prayer. We need to be spending time in prayer for one another, for marriages to be strengthened, for families to turn their hearts toward God, for change, for healing, for restoration, for revival. My husband and I started our relationship on a foundation of prayer. We both dedicated time each day to pray for each other and to pray for our relationship. We have been together for almost 11 years and married for almost 9 and I can tell you in confidence that our relationship is where it is today because of The Lord’s presence in our life and our willingness to commit to prayer. There were many times in the beginning of our marriage where hardships caused my heart

This Could Change Your Marriage: War Room Movie Review

2015-09-10

War Room. You need to see this movie. This movie opens with a voice talking about the wars we face, while the visual being a husband and wife arguing. That opening scene ended with the words: Victories don’t come by accident.” That is when I pulled out my phone to take a few notes. I came to the movies for enjoyment, but I knew from that opening scene that it would be an impactful movie – one that I would need to share about. We all desire victories in life, especially in our marriage. However, are we willing to spend intentional time praying and trusting God for these victories? The plot follows the relationship between a husband and wife, along with their daughter, as well

Devotions For A Healthier You by Katie Farrell – Book Review

2015-05-18

Devotions For A Healthier You by Katie Farrell is a stunning resource. It is a hardcover book with beautiful images complementing some incredible content. This book includes tips, meal plans and recipes aimed at feeding the mind, body, and soul. In the first few pages, Katie shares Prayers For Health where she takes scripture and turns them into prayers. I love that she added this in there as a great way to show examples of how we can use scripture to help us pray and communicate to God daily. Here are a few of her prayers: Today I will take care of my body, for I am God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which He has prepared in advance for me

Unveiled Wife Book Review No More Headaches by Juli Slattery

Book Review of “No More Headaches” by Juli Slattery

2015-04-13

No More Headaches, Enjoying Sex and Intimacy In Marriage is the number one book on my list of great reads! Dr. Juli Slattery encompasses the gift of sex God has created within the boundaries of marriage, sharing examples of her own marriage, as well as others marital testimonials.

She dives into heavy topics without hesitation, providing wisdom and knowledge about what is permissible within the covenant of marriage, not with black and white rules, but allowing the reader to comprehend and conclude for themselves what is allowed based on God’s word. There is a tremendous amount of depth shared about what sex and intimacy is from the man’s perspective,
