How do we raise children well in this media-driven, instant-gratification, fast-paced, never-sleeping world? How do we find peace in such days? “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 As I look back to when my children were little (now they range in age from 14 to 21), I…

More often than not, life doesn’t roll the way we expect. Yet some of us (yes, I’m guilty), try to force it to conform to our belief of how it should be. We try to control the inner workings and the outcomes. We wear ourselves out by trying to reconcile our idea of what should be to the…
Faithfulness from Generation to Generation [Short Bursts of Encouragement]
This past week I spent two days exploring Mom’s family roots. We traveled to where she grew up and where my great-grandparents are buried. I saw old homesteads and where old homesteads should have been. I marked gravesites and updated incorrect birth and death records. I puzzled over old deeds and chuckled at faded photos.…

Hello, I'm Julie, an imperfect wife and mother of four. Life in this broken world is not always easy. Yet, joy can be found in each day through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I find it's easy for our day's blessings to get lost in its happenings. But God's "mercies never end" (Lamentations 3:22) and His "grace is sufficient" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
