Nobody told me how difficult marriage would be. Growing up, I dreamed of the day my Prince Charming would sweep me off my feet and we’d live happily ever after. When I thought about marriage, I thought more about the wedding day- the perfect dress, the flowers, the rings, the reception menu, the decorations- than… Continue Reading
I’m Going Swimming: By David Bowers
Have you ever been that odd man out? The third person in a conversation between two people and you aren’t being included? That group of athletic friends that are headed out to play ball and you aren’t very talented at it? Or on the dance floor? We all feel that way at times. I can… Continue Reading
Why I’m Changing How I Do New Year’s Resolutions
As we usher in a brand new year, many of us are thinking about our New Year’s resolutions. I’ve never really been too keen on making these because inevitably I am gung ho for the first week or two and then I slip up, I crash and burn and I ultimately fail…again. By February, I’m… Continue Reading
In Loving Memory of Mark
Once again, our hearts are heavy. It seems like that’s the theme of our lives lately. Our family has experienced loss, cancer diagnoses, medical trials, personal struggles and pain in high doses the past couple of months and to be honest, I’m feeling physically and spiritually drained at the moment. I know God is sovereign… Continue Reading
Celebrating Christmas When Christmas Isn’t Very Merry

An Update On Our Ministry: God Is Good
David and I have had the amazing privilege to travel to different venues the past two months, promoting our new book and starting our new speaking ministry.

How I Know God Is Trustworthy
Have you ever struggled with not knowing what’s next? For those of you that know me very well at all, you know that I’m a bit of a control freak. Some friends and family members have dubbed me as having a little OCD, but I just like things to be organized. I like to plan… Continue Reading
We Are Struggling: A Call To Pray
Can I be really honest with you today? This month has been a difficult one for our family and quite frankly, I’m struggling emotionally and spiritually. Sure, on the exterior, I like to put on a happy face, paste on a half-hearted smile and try to engage in some chit chat, but on the inside,… Continue Reading
How I Know My Limits: By David Bowers
Carly and I recently hosted our church’s fall gathering at our house. It included a trunk or treat, a mini marshmallow war, chili cook off, campfires and hay rides. It was a fun evening of fellowship and laughter and food. It was my responsibility to get the barn ready for this annual event. This involves… Continue Reading
