A few weeks ago, I shared a link to part one of a Bible study about Abraham that I wrote for myMISSIONfulfilled. Today, I want to share part two of the Bible study with you.
Family Traditions is about handing down faith from generation to generation. As believers, we have a responsibility to mentor and assist younger believers as they grown in faith. Click through MMF to read the entire article, and let me know what you think!
Until next time, grace and peace.

In case you were wondering, lots of life happened during my little hiatus, one of which was the publication of a two-part Bible study I wrote for myMISSIONfulfilled.
The first part, A Genealogy of Faith, details the life and heritage of Abraham and the implications for modern believers. It may seem like his story has nothing to do with ours, but as the children’s song testifies, he is our father of faith. Click through to MMF to read the entire article, and stay tuned for a link to part two.
Until next time, grace and peace.

Hope you’re all having a good afternoon! I popped over to the myMISSIONfulfilled site yesterday to see if my latest article had been posted, and sure enough, I found it. When Courtney asked me to write an article about maintaining healthy relationships while engaged, I signed up immediately. Then I tried really hard to remember what that period of life was like. It all passed so quickly – in a blur!
At any rate, here’s a little sneak peek of the end result: Engaging Issues: Keeping the Peace While You’re Engaged.
It was fun to remember that time – especially since I’ve been working on a couple of custom wedding suites lately. It’s easy to lose sight of the big picture when you’re planning a wedding, and I hope this article encourages young women to keep first things first.

Until next time, grace and peace.

Hello there! Hope you’re all having a good week thus far. With the beginning of the month came new postings on myMISSIONfulfilled, including an article I contributed on my call to the ministry. Here’s a quick little sneak peek of “God called ME (and Other Things I’ve Learned as a Woman in Ministry).”

I really enjoyed the chance to reflect on some of the things that I’ve learned as a woman who also happens to be called to minister, and I hope the article is an encouragement to young women who may face some of the same challenges. Be sure to click through to myMISSIONfulfilled to read more about the things I’ve learned as a woman in ministry.
Until next time, grace and peace.

myMISSIONfulfilled has just posted my latest article. Keep reading for a teaser, then click through to myMISSIONfulfilled to read the rest of Sarah’s Laugh.

Please read Genesis 18:1–15.
My mother was barren. She and my father were married for 11 long years before my sister was born. When my parents attended my mom’s 10-year high school reunion, they held the distinct honor of being the couple who had been married the longest without having any children. Their prize? A live rabbit. My mother has never forgotten the humiliation of that moment, and when she tells the story, pain still flickers across her face.
God used the skillful hands of a surgeon to reverse my mother’s infertility and bring life to her barren womb, but for thousands of childless women, indulging the hope that they may bear children is a dangerous and painful activity. It’s easier to stop hoping than it is to have dreams dashed month after month, and, after years of unsuccessful attempts to have a child, some women simply give up.
That’s where Sarah found herself when she and her husband, Abraham, entertained some unexpected visitors. Abraham rushed about, preparing steaks to grill while Sarah kneaded homemade bread. As the visitors settled down outside to enjoy the meal under shade trees, Sarah hovered inside the door of her home and eavesdropped on the conversation…
