Worship Me Instead: Do Plus Sized Models Solve Body Image Issues?
I’m a big girl. It hasn’t always been that way. I’ve struggled with my weight on and off for over 20 years. Though I have eight children, it really has nothing to do with all the babies. Neither will I place blame on genetics. It’s simply that too often I have chosen...

Curly Hair, Don’t Care (Except that I Really Do)
I saw a t-shirt once that said, "Tease it up to Jesus." I don't have to. When I step out of my house on a humid day, my unruly mane is already halfway up to Heaven. When I played with Barbie as a kid, how I envied that tiny, plastic bombshell. It wasn’t her freakishly...
Does Following Jesus Make You Sweat?
Most people are a little embarrassed about sweating-- even while exercising! Although I used to be one of them, I now find this a little ridiculous. How do you know if you've worked hard if your body's cooling response (sweating) hasn't kicked in? Why bother going...
Homeschooling is Scary: Four Reasons Why I Didn’t Think Homeschooling Was for Me
It's been almost one month now since we did what is to some the unthinkable. We withdrew our children from a great public school where they had wonderful and caring teachers and, by the government's standards, were doing well academically. This was one of the most...
