Thank you for joining us again today as we pick up on Chapter Two of The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers New Edition: The Secret to Loving Teens Effectively
In Chapter Two, Dr. Chapman discusses the importance of parental love. He does not want you to have anxiety as a parent of a teen, but he wants to give you more confidence because of the positive role you have and play in your teenager’s life. More
Today I have had the pleasure of listening to a live broadcast from the Elevation Network with Pastor Steven Furtick as well as Lysa TerKeurst (of Proverbs 31 Ministries) as they discuss the message of Crash the Chatterbox: Hearing God’s Voice Above All Others
They are discussing how the chatterbox within speaks to them in their own lives. The chatterbox can overwhelm us at times, but we can overpower these lies of the enemy with the promises of God!More
We are well on our way into February, and as we prepare ourselves for Valentine’s Day on Friday, I wanted to talk to you about a different kind of love … the love you have for your teenager.
I am writing about the The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers New Edition: The Secret to Loving Teens Effectively
Bullying is every where in this day and age, but that does NOT mean that it is acceptable behavior. I hope that this world does not ever get to where it accepts bullying as the norm. It’s not! Bullying says more about the person DOING it than it does about the one that is on the receiving end of it.
Words HURT! There are some people that enjoy seeing the reactions of people when they call them names or make hateful comments to them. I will never understand why people do this to others.More
Yesterday was a fun filled day with the family! We had the absolute BEST time!
We started our day by going to the Party In The Pit with Monster Jam. We were providing coverage of the party and interviewing a national champion while at the show for another blog that I have the pleasure of writing for! My husband has been to the pit at the Nascar races before, but he’s never been to the Party In The Pit with the monster trucks … until now! As you can imagine, he was beside himself with excitement, and I joked that he was the biggest kid there. That actually reminded me of the saying that boys never truly grow up. The only thing that changes is the cost and size of their toys! How TRUE!

We are our own worst enemies, and when we fall short, we are harder on ourselves than anyone else could ever possibly be! I know you can relate, as you “beat yourself up” all the time in your mind and in your thoughts, just like I do. We are so unforgiving to ourselves when we truly need forgiveness. God forgives us freely if we ask, and yet here we are holding on to things and hurting ourselves repeatedly by what we are saying with our negative self talk. Would you say this to a friend? All of the thoughts swirling around in your head, all of the times you down yourself for when you’ve fallen short … no, you would NOT say those things to your friend, and if you did, I doubt you would remain friends afterwards.
We need a gentle reminder to be just that with ourselves, GENTLE!More
We all do it. It is part of the “norm” to compare ourselves to others around us. We compare ourselves to our friends, our neighbors, our co-workers, other mothers, the lady in the check out lane next to us, the lady getting her hair done at the beauty shop, etc. What I would like you to realize is that you are beyond compare! I’m speaking to you, dear readers … to my daughters, as I see them struggle with this very same thing, … and I am speaking to myself.

Everyone has a bad day every now and then where they desperately need a friend to come alongside them and let them know that they are loved, cared for, cherished, that they matter, and that this, too, shall pass.
Friends, I hear you! More
I was so excited today to learn that Holley Gerth’s newest book was available on Amazon (affiliate link) You’re Going to Be Okay: Encouraging Truth Your Heart Needs to Hear, Especially on the Hard Days
As you may know, Holley is the author of several books and is an (in)courager at heart! More
My youngest daughter completely blessed my heart today! When I came home from work, there was a pretty pink card that she and her little friend made together. They had their little pictures on the front, and inside my daughter wrote beautiful words to God that touched my heart and soul.
