Hi, I need prayer. I want to move from where we live, and it’s just not God’s timing I guess. I need prayer for everything you could imagine in dealing with this situation. Thank you so much, Leanna

Moving and Timing
Saturday, May 16th, 2009Letter From The Editor
Friday, May 1st, 2009Traditionally, people have chosen May as the month to honor and celebrate mothers. My children like to show their love by purchasing perenials at the local nursery. My youngest struggles to carry the biggest trays he can find, while my daughter looks for the brightest shades of pink, hoping to Barbie up the yard a [...]
Winning Your Husband to Christ
Friday, May 1st, 2009Many of us will remember Candace Cameron Bure from ABC’s Full House, where we affectionately knew her as “DJ Tanner.” Today Candace is a role model to young women everywhere, with a testimony of growing up in Hollywood, while growing in faith with God. This month, Candace gets candid with a reader who hopes to win her [...]
Sunny Interviews Chonda Pierce
Friday, May 1st, 2009As the school year is coming to an end, us moms put on our Vacation Coordinator hats and busily begin preparing for “the best summer vacation yet!” Some of us have a few weeks to begin this yearly flutter of signing our children up for summer camps, missions trips, coordinating family vacations, summer school, etc. [...]
15 Motivational Thoughts to Keep Your Diet on Track
Friday, May 1st, 2009While speaking at the recent “A Women Inspired” online conference, I was asked if I have any motivation to press on, for those who are struggling with their diet. I was reminded of the many times that I’ve personally stared down at the scale looking at yet another plateau. I happen to know how frustrating [...]
Operation Enduring Sleep
Friday, May 1st, 2009We call it Operation Enduring Sleep. My husband and I, the two-member coalition in this war on sleep-deprivation, take our assignment very seriously. The mission: to transfer our sleeping toddler, Jordan, from his car seat to his bed without waking him. After we deploy ourselves, our first step is to unhook the buckle on his [...]
Does Your House Have to Be Clean?
Friday, May 1st, 2009When I think of hosting in our home, the first thing that comes to mind is all the cleaning I’ll have to do. Sometimes it’s hard to get beyond that issue, so that I just end up dropping the idea of having people over. How can I change my attitude about cleaning so that it [...]
Sing With Me
Friday, May 1st, 2009She sits close to me tonight. Closer than usual. Sometimes, on some Wednesday nights, I can tell her mind is elsewhere. Those times, she’s not enclosed within the four walls of this church. She’s running free. But tonight she leans in close. It’s not that she’s snuggling–which she also does sometimes–it’s more that she’s just [...]
The Gift of Life
Friday, May 1st, 2009“No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you – life.” A woman has the most mysterious and wonderful power in the whole world – choosing to give birth to a child. Most of the time, the child is born into a family unit. But there are times when a woman has [...]
Striving for Simplicity
Friday, May 1st, 2009More and more I find myself striving for the beauty and freedom of simplicity. I am trying to pare down, have less and really enjoy what I have rather than being overloaded with so many things. One of the ways I’ve simplified is to use the same dinner dishes for everyday as I do for [...]
