Peace Family, what are you thankful for? Recently, I was reminded to count my blessings! One of my mentors encouraged me to get a journal and write specifically about the things I am thankful for every day. The funny thing about it is, once you begin to cultivate an atmosphere of gratitude in your heart, […]

Peace family, when was the last time that you tried something new? I’ve found a lot of joy lately with some new pursuits! This is going to sound really silly, but honestly, I’ve been reading about football in order to better understand this thing that means so much to so many people, especially here in […]

Peace family, what do you do when you are in a rut? When you are feeling uninspired, how do you get back into action? I have been having some major writer’s block, both with this blog and also with a novel I am trying to write, and it’s made me want to think back to other more […]

Peace family, are you ready to create a family legacy of God’s love? Today I read an article called, “You Don’t Have To Be Your Dad: How to Become Your Family’s Transitional Character,” but it can apply to women, too. I liked it so much, that I wanted to share it here. I can’t vouch for […]

Peace family, why is it so easy to believe lies sometimes? Like anyone, I have some areas in my life that need healing, and I am finding a lot of growth through participating in a program called Celebrate Recovery. One of the program’s principles states, “Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, […]

Peace family, do you have a heart for missions, but for whatever reason, it looks like God just wants you to stay here? If so, I want to encourage you today. Raising a family and working a normal job might not seem as glamorous or as noble as living in a hut in Africa and […]

Peace family, what are you thankful for? Today, I am thankful for the rain, for good friends, for my family, for Peace 107, for the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream I’m eating out of the office freezer… the possibilities are endless! A friend recently challenged me by asking, “What would you have tomorrow, if you woke […]

Peace family, Gary Roe is a local counselor, pastor, and abuse survivor, and I really enjoy reading his blog. This week’s entry is about the illusion of control, and I felt like it was really powerful! You can read it by clicking HERE. Sometimes it can be so hard to sort out what is in […]

Peace family, this might sound silly, but I am learning to value my blisters. Over the weekend, one of my friends was going through a very painful experience, and she needed someone to be with her. We cooked and ate dinner together, we talked, and we went on a walk. I did not know that […]

Peace family, today, I just want to remind you that your value is not based on your performance. Let me say that again; your value is not based on your performance. Yes, meeting goals and being dependable are important, but your value does not change. Even if there are people in your life who seem […]

Peace family, today, I want to remind you that your prayers are powerful, no matter how things look or feel, or what you’re going through. Sometimes life is so hard; I know there have been situations and people that I prayed for that didn’t work out. Close family friends have died instead of being healed, […]

Peace family, what’s the last good book you read? I’ve been reading one called Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, and there is some really good stuff in here! If you have trouble saying “no” to people, or trouble hearing “no” from other people, then this book is for you! As Christians, […]
