Today...right now you could say tonight...I am writing to you guys about a topic I've never really touched on before. That topic is...Influences. What do I mean by influences? Good question. These days, the world is becoming a very dangerous please and we are not only being very protective over our kids but we are also on this really crazy scavenger hunt to look for ways to discipline/raise our children. We look at the world around us and our family/friends to get advice on how to raise OUR OWN kids. I have put "our own" in bold lettering because we forget about the fact that they are our kids and not our families kids or friends kids. Yes sometimes we might need advice and a little help along the way but we shouldn't completely copy what somebody else is doing. Each kid is different and I know this has been said a lot, but it really is true. What might work for someone else, might not work for you. We have to figure out our own way of parenting while also getting adv

I’ve been doing a lot of posts about love and relationships and how they correlate with each other, but today’s topic is all about faith. One thing I don’t understand is the quote many say about our faith. “You believe in some book that’s just a bunch of stories.” Here’s a great comeback: Take a history book for instance. They are filled with accounts of “stories” called history...things that happened long ago. I never hear people say “history books are fake, how do we even know they’re real?” Now tell me why is it that nobody questions history books? Is it cause professors teach it? We have pastors/preachers. Is it because they are scientifically proved? Jesus did actually exist, science proves it. Is it because they are accounts that have been witnessed and recorded? A lot of the Bible are true accounts that were witnessed and recorded (The Bible). May I suggest that the real reason doesn’t lie behind the lack of scientific evidence or the fact that it’s just opinions, but rather it

This topic is one we have touched on before but I wanted to bring it back fresh in your memory. Some posts get brought to the bottom of the blog because I have made so many so it’s good to refresh sometimes. Here it is... we already know marriage is hard work. It takes effort, time, consistency and the desire to grow/stay together. One topic we haven’t touched on that I’d like to address some time is depression and other mental situations in a marriage/relationship. For now we’re gonna stay on the topic of The Hard Work in a marriage. Why is it so hard? Think about In a friendship...if your friend does something to you that offends you or does something you don’t like, you sometimes stop talking to them because of anger. It breaks up the friend ship but it would tear down a marriage. In a marriage you both upfront have to decide to make a commitment to never go about dealing with conflicts in this way. Any stubborn or prideful character will get in the way of this. Another thing that m

This is not a usual type of post I tend to write but I've been reading this book and had to share it! I haven't even finished yet but already it is changing my life in a big way. This book is called He Chose The Nails by Max Lucado. I found it on the Bible Study app that is by Olive Tree  Olive Tree Bible Check out the site and purchase this book! It's one of the best purchases you can make. It's all about Jesus dying on the cross and how the nails, the spear, the crown of thorns, and all the pain he endured is all a gift and it goes into each specific one to explain deeper.

So many people don't God with the respect He deserves. We pray before every meal, praise God in worship on Sundays, read our bibles in intended times and then the rest of the time we live our lives as though we can do it on our own. I'm watching families, marriages, homes, people...fall apart and this was not God's plan for us. In the garden Adam and Eve walked with God and He was the center, their  marriage did not fail...until that one tree...in the middle of the garden...became the center of their lives. It's what they thought about, what they cared about. We have many "trees in the center of our lives and one of the biggest ones is the one that is called Pride. When we think we can go on with life without God and things will magically work and we end up questioning God why He would allow these things to happen to us. You can't get through life on your own. It may work for some time, it may work for a long time, but it won't work forever. Things eventual

When we reach a really great high moment in our life...we appreciate it, we enjoy it, but do we stop there? We always look for better...we expect more. So why, in our relationships, marriages, families, do we not expect the same? We look at our situation and think this is it. The level we're at now, is not the end. You may be in a fight, maybe you aren't even talking to each other, or maybe you're in a really good spot, but still look for better. God always has more planned for us than we think about or even expect. When you try to guess what gift you're gonna get do you think realistically? Do you assume it will be something small and insignificant? Most would say they dream big and think of all the possibilities that it could be. Maybe an electric powered scooter, a brand new cell phone, maybe even a puppy! We dream big and hope for better things. Don't let your relationship be a ground for the creative thinking to stop flowing. Imagine all the wonderful things Go

Hey! I felt I should share this because although this is a marriage/family blog, I want to let you know kids and teens are welcome to visit any time! We're even going to create a page just for the kids/teens to get their own advice and they can email and tell us what they would like to know about their families, parents, obedience, faith, or how to help lead their families in a Godly way. Now, I know kids aren't the rulers or boss (don't get any ideas) but they have a gift of teaching us things that we may not see on our own. They mimic our behavior which shows us how we're acting around them, they can be very wise (not sure where all that knowledge comes from) and they have strong imaginations which gives them a special perspective as a child which we also as adults need to grasp and use. Let your kids show you how to be true children of the kingdom of God.

So! Hello everybody :) Today is Valentine's day. Such a special day for those who love each other to celebrate one another. What are your plans today? Got anything special planned for that someone? Let us know in the comments! Today we are talking about hard times and how the good times and rewards make it worth it. We all (those of us who are married or in a relationship) know that it is hard work to stay committed to somebody. Especially when things get rough. But we all that have been through the struggle and come out on the other side know that it's 100% worth it in the end because we grow stronger and closer together. These are all things that we have learned and those that haven't will eventually learn it. I'm sitting here writing to you about relationship struggles being worth it and most hear the word relationship and think it means a couple. The term relationship here is used universally meaning that it refers to any kind of relationship such as friends, family

Hello everybody! We have been gone for some time and not had a new post so I wanted to come back and share something with you guys. Before I start I'd like to say this: I like to write this advice to give families and husband and wives the resources they need to have a successful home. These are things I've personally learned and am not always perfect at myself. I am just like you guys and I need God to keep me in line (especially those times when things spiral out of control and I just want to go bed early and forget about the day). Seeing that people are reading this and viewing it makes me get excited because maybe it is actually helping people, that's my goal. Being a counselor has been on my heart for the past few years and I can't seem to get rid of it. While I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a counselor, it is nice to at least have this place where I can bring people together and try to help them. I'm sorry If I've taken up too much time talking abo
