Pause Before You Pounce
When you can’t always control the look of your house–or the actions of those living in it–do you sometimes also have a hard time controlling your temper and your tongue? With certain humans, do you find yourself behaving biblically backwards—being slow to listen, quick to speak and quick to become angry?
Sign-up for the 5-Day Pause Before You Pounce Challenge and learn to pause, pray, and then… Don’t pounce at all!
DIY Summertime Iced Coffee Recipe
My favorite summertime drink is iced coffee. Actually, who am I trying to kid? It doesn’t matter what season or temperature it is outside, I’ll choose to drink iced coffee over hot coffee almost every time.
If you’ve never tried cold-brewed iced coffee, you are missing out! It is so much more than pouring hot coffee over ice to cool it. In a pinch I have taken whatever is left in the coffee pot after my hubby gets his coffee in the morning and put it in the fridge to chill, but it’s not the same.
Hey there, friend!
I’m so glad you’ve dropped by!
Welcome to my online home! If you and I were visiting in person, I’d grab a mismatched mug from my kitchen cupboard and make you some French press coffee. But for now, click or tap your way around my site and grab a free resource or two. I also invite you to subscribe to my monthly newsletter full of creative ideas for following God, serving your family, and loving people—including a few recipes per month! And I’d love to hang out with you on social media so be sure to connect with me via the links at the bottom of this page. I’m so thrilled and honored to have you here.
