Biblical Womanhood – What It is

Much more content will be found on the RefreshHer Podcast.

Why do we even need a lesson in biblical womanhood? This past month I have witnessed – 

  • A mom wondering about how to educate her daughter, fearful of the world’s philosophies that she might learn in public educational system.
  • A mom thinking about adult daughter moving away – saying how weird she is feeling so emotional at her going or at her staying!
  • Older woman got married after her husband left her 7 years ago.
  • Two young teen girls walking hand in hand through a store.
  • An older woman caring for her aging husband.
  • A woman in 30’s longing to be married.
  • A person in the store – half head was shaved, half long, beard on one side, smooth on the other.
  • Rainbows everywhere having nothing to do with God’s judgment on a world of wickedness in Noah’s day.
  • Social media, advertisements, political figures,  our school system and world in general shout wrong messages and agendas.

All this makes it obvious we need to answer the question, “What does it mean to be a woman?”!

Tips For An Organized Spice Cabinet

This weekend I had a couple hours when my love for organizing and my love for cooking collided. It was a needed collision!

A Little Lunch

You can also listen to this post on Refresh Her podcast.

Being a mother of two daughters, I don’t know a whole lot about raising boys.  But when I read in John 6 about the 5,000 people that had gathered to hear Jesus I thought it strange that a little boy would have a lunch with him. Remember the story?  The crowd was hungry, and there was no food to feed them.  Jesus asked Philip where they could buy enough bread to feed this large crowd.  Andrew spoke up and said to him,

Making Family Dinnertime Special

Every Monday I share a recipe or two with you because I love to cook good food for my family and those I serve in my home. I enjoy it because of what a good meal does for a family. It makes memories and traditions. It binds us together. As our stomachs are nourished, so are our hearts. But there’s a whole other dimension to food that plays into each of those blessings. It’s really the whole experience and atmosphere in which it is served.
