Time for a wellness check!

Notice some changes lately on my social media accounts? Here’s why!
And announcing a new Instagram account.

Does your husband want to live in a corner of the roof? I hope not! Why would he? Why would anyone? […]

July 8th has always been special to me. It’s the date of my youngest sibling’s birthday. Of course, all my other siblings’ birthdays are special too. Later in life, July 8th became more special when I found out it was the birthday of one of my favorite aunt-in-laws!
July 8th secured its place in my affections one more time two weeks ago. On July 8, 2024, I got some big news. I finally received a diagnosis regarding my health! I was diagnosed with a condition that may be the root cause of my chronic health problems that started twenty-eight and a half years ago and that has kept me mostly housebound since 2008. […]

Time flies! It has been four years since the publication of the print copy of my Bible study on the Deity of Christ. To celebrate this 4-year anniversary, I am giving away 4 copies of A Zero Fluff Bible Study for Women: The Deity of Christ. See post for details.

I invite you to find out and take an interactive journey through the history of the English Bible. This journey will take you through time and highlight some of the history of how the Scriptures came to be available to us in English. It’s an incredible story that will surely increase your appreciation for how easy it is for us to have a Bible in our native language. It is a treasure for sure!

The subject of wifely submission in marriage is simple in some ways and complex in others. Two big reasons for the complexity are that every marriage relationship is multi-faceted and every marriage is different. Every husband and wife relate to each other in their unique ways. They bring their pasts into their relationship. Then they have their own ways of communicating and behaving as a couple. […]

It is done! It only took seventeen and a half years; but praise God, it is done. I have finished the first draft of my novel that I have mentioned before in this ministry update from 2020 and this blog post from 2022. […]

Since I’m still on a break, I thought it might be a good time to share more about my project and update what’s happening at C3M. This post is also for my future self. It might be interesting to look back at this post someday and see how things worked out. […]

Might not be the items you would expect, but here it is… #1 Money Has your husband given you a budget for Christmas gifts? Honor him by keeping to it. Want to go over? It would be good to run it by him first. #respectyourhusband (Ephesians 5:33)

Part of the role of older women according to Titus 2:3-5 is to encourage young women to love their children. There are many ways that older women can do that. One way that might get overlooked is encouraging young women to love their children by teaching them how to defend their faith. […]

Because of my husband’s quick leadership – and because I followed it – I did not proceed to wallow in negativity. I did not catastrophize more about the future. Instead, we thanked God for the weekend experiences and memories, I thanked God for my husband, and we prayed that relief would come soon.

When I think back to some of the events leading up to my salvation and how I came to faith, I’m still amazed by what God did. My gratitude is inexpressible. Every Christian is blessed beyond measure to be His child. Here is a story of one of the events that took place before I was a Christian. I love this story and I love telling it. Enjoy!

Going to church, a Bible study, or a Christian conference? About to start a Christian book, listen to a Christian podcast, or read a Christian blog post? Whatever Christian content you are about to take in, don’t forget your Bible, discernment, and this guide. They can help you to avoid or escape the snare of false teachings. […]

Biblical discernment is vital. Without it, anyone can fall prey to false teachers and their teachings. We can get snared by these false teachings when we are not able to see how they differ from sound biblical teachings and the Bible. As a result, our knowledge of God and His word suffers. For these reasons, we need to learn discernment and get better at it every day. This article will help you do that. […]

There are a lot of scary things going on in the world right now. Of course, scary things have been going on in the world for a long time, and our personal lives are no different. Each day can bring something new to worry about or fear. Life – it isn’t easy. […]

Some people hold to the idea that Christians are meant to have prosperity, health, and happiness. It is also believed that Christians can expect to have things go their way in life; they just need to believe and receive. […]

Rule # 1: Be a good wife according to God’s standards as revealed in the Bible. When you are considering God’s standards as revealed in the Bible, be sure to include all of the Bible verses that apply to godly behavior, not just the verses about marriage. […]

God is the Almighty Creator. From the smallest particles like electrons and quarks to the red supergiants, His work is magnificent! Since man was made in His image, it is not surprising that mankind has produced so many beautiful pieces of art and other wonders. […]

I have an announcement. After a lot of praying and weighing of options, I have decided to turn most of my writing energy towards a major project that I have wanted to finish for years. Though I will be posting less often while I work on my big project, I’m not planning on stopping all together. […]
