October 31, 2008: Good in the Kitchen
Comments: 34 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , In the kitchen

I haven't been all that happy with the food I've been preparing lately. Not because it isn't healthy, or frugal, or because it takes too much work, or anything like that. Not even because it doesn't taste good to me (because it does).I made a realization, though. Over the last...

Comments: 1 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith

I first came in contact with today's guest poster, Laura, through her site Joshua's Tree, where I was impressed by the creative ideas to help families focus on glorifying God through fun and thought provoking activities. This post is a wonderful reminder to me to stop striving (and it fits...

Comments: 14 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Getting organized , Living Simply

I've been feeling really worn out lately.I'm not sure when I started to feel this way exactly, only that it's been quite some time now. I wish I could put a handle on the causes and find a simple fix, but I'm not sure that it's that easy. I can...

Comments: 4 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith

I was wondering: Does your site recommend a list of podcasts that your readers might be interested in subscribing to? I found the 'Revive Our Hearts' one through Girl Talk (a site you referenced just recently), but was wondering if you had any others to suggest?LoreeThis great question landed in...

July 31, 2008: Why I think God may have sabotaged our internet...
Comments: 9 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith , Homemaking

So, the internet still isn't working. (Then how, you ask, am I posting this? I'm on my husband's work laptop while he's out with a friend for the evening, using a unlocked network in the area). Briefly tonight, the power went out twice and the laptop could no longer connect...

July 21, 2008: Cultivating contentment
Comments: 11 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith

The lovely flowers that I picked from my garden for Making my Home a Haven, are a perfect example of how I struggle with contentment. A mere year ago, we were living in a 2 bedroom condo that was located in a somewhat unsafe neighborhood (though the condo itself was...

July 16, 2008: Small and trivial it is not!
Comments: 4 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Homemaking

The GirlTalkers have been focusing lately on the glorious role and responsibility of homemaking, and how I have been encouraged by these incredible quotes. In a culture that demeans the honorable tasks of loving and serving one's husband, raising and training children and making the home a haven and place...

Comments: 8 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Homemaking , Our family

(Anyone singing along with me?) I have a confession to make. In the midst of all of this blog transfer stuff, and multiple things going wrong, and a deadline for 5 photo books I bought approaching tomorrow (which I didn't adequately plan for being able to complete), and still keeping...

April 8, 2008: Spring time= Modesty check!
Comments: 10 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Feminine and modest

As always, the GirlTalkers are right on target with a recent post. As the sun begins to shine more frequently, and daffodils and tulips poke their heads up, it's time to be reminded that warmer weather does not not give us permission for less modesty or purposefulness in our dress....

March 20, 2008: Wanting to be the best
Comments: 0 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith

GirlTalk blog always has a knack for bringing up topics that are both convicting and wonderfully encouraging. This post is no exception.“Sometimes I don’t want to serve when it is something I don’t think I’m very good at” the young woman humbly confessed to me. The ugly truth behind her...

January 24, 2008: What does home and family-centered ministry look like?
Comments: 6 | Categories: Biblical womanhood , Faith , Family life

In light of the conversation the other day surrounding a woman's ability to minister, while keeping her priority on serving her family from within the home, I thought it would be valuable to explore this topic in a more practical way. It's easy to say that we should be serving...

November 27, 2007: 5 am club, anyone?
Comments: 12 | Categories: Biblical womanhood

If I had known what the chapter was about, I wouldn't have read it. I should have guessed by the title, I suppose. But there's no going back now. I read it, and now I have to deal with the consequences. The chapter, in the book Shopping for Time: How...
