God Created Family
At church, my job is to teach the children music in Sunday school. The chorus of a new song that I am teaching goes like this: “God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be. This is how He shows His love, for the family is of God.” This is…

My Pantry Organization
I have organized my pantry a couple of other times, using containers I had around the house. While those systems were effective, they did not give me the visual appeal I was after in my home-organizing adventure.

Who Am I?
Once I was a wife. A wife and a missionary. For years, I identified myself as these things. Then one day that identity was gone, and I suddenly needed to answer the question: Who am I? Three years ago, I became a separated woman. I was a broken person in charge of mothering four little…
