Two months ago, at a not-so-subtle urging from God, I decided to step back from much of my work. I’m a self-employed graphic designer (when I’m not writing), so that means walking away from a good percentage of my income.

How to Take the First Step: Starting a Speaking Ministry
Have you ever had to step out of the boat like Peter did, when the seas were raging, the wind was blowing, the mist was slapping at his face, and the waves were crashing so furiously he could hardly see Jesus in front of him?

Why You Should Invest in Your Marriage
David and I just got home from an amazing week. For the past 5 years, we’ve made a commitment to invest in our marriage by attending a marriage conference. It’s not that our marriage is in crisis, we just feel like if we don’t take the effort to focus on each other, our goals… Continue Reading
