Love and encouragement from an imperfect mom and her fun teen daughters. We welcome you to live life with us.
On a radio broadcast, a young woman said she used to have no idea what she was feeling. She said many Millennials and other young people have lost touch with their feelings. One day when this woman’s husband asked her about her best and worst feeling moment of her day, the wife couldn’t answer. This … Read more What are You Feeling?
When we say certain people are difficult, we might mean we don’t understand them, or we might mean they are being very cruel to us. People are different in many ways, but for now let’s examine these two categories where we have trouble getting along with others. If we can differentiate these two groups, we … Read more Dealing with Difficult People
Some people abandon God when their lives don’t turn out the way they wanted. They believe God owed them something, often a circumstance which did not happen (such as praying for a person to live, but he or she died anyway). Often these people will say God let them down, and they can no longer … Read more Abandoning God When Disappointed?
Many people mistrust God, not realizing it is because they had a bad experience with their earthly dad first. When earthly fathers disappoint their children, these dads often set their children up to think of God in similar, disappointing ways. We know God in three persons, as the Heavenly Father, and the Son (Jesus), and … Read more Disappointed in Earthly Father: Disappointed in God

In an earlier post, “When Bad Life Patterns Repeat,” I said abusers are attracted to people who believe the bad lies (lies that say the person is not worthy of anything good). I want to clarify that abusers initially pursue all women, not just those who believe lies of low self esteem. This does not … Read more Bad Guys Pursue Everyone: It’s not Your Fault

When we don’t understand or work through old problems, we repeat them, and these problems become “bad life patterns.” We hear of daughters of alcoholic fathers (or those with other addictions) who marry alcoholics, to the daughter’s regret. Women who have suffered other pain too can end up repeating mistakes over and over. Why would … Read more When Bad Life Patterns Repeat
People ask, “Why does God send people to Hell?” Some people also say God is cruel for creating Hell for people. Yet neither of these complaints are true. Technically, God does not need to send people to Hell (they are already doomed, which I’ll explain), and He did not create Hell for people. God did … Read more Since God “Sends” No one to Hell, why Does Anyone Go to Hell?

Scripture warns this could happen. In James 4:3 we read, “You ask and do not receive, … Read more Boldly Praying or Presuming upon God?
