Hello fellow readers, today's post is a very important topic. Things happen and we fight with each other and claim it isn't our fault...but is it really? Sometimes we need to really take a close look at the situation before we just blame the other person

What if we all went down the same path every time we came across the opportunity to explore a new one? It would get boring, and produce the same results as before. Sometimes God transitions us into a new place in our lives to show us new scenery and give us a new perspective. This week I am following God's leading to take a new path and I'm excited but also a bit scared. I know it is in God's hands and I can't wait to see what's in store. What's God trying to teach you?

This is my advice to you. Is there someone you love? Is there someone you're afraid of losing? Here's the best advice you could ever get. Don't give up on them. A couple years back I wrote a story called One Love. It was about a princess who stayed on a difficult, obstacle heavy, journey to save her love who was locked up. Along the way she had so many princes stop her and promise her riches and a kingdom beyond her desires if she would end the journey and go with them, but instead she turned it all down to stay with the one she truly loved. Our marriage is the path that princess traveled down and along the way there are opportunities for us to give up a very good thing. Our choice is to either accept those other princes, or stay on the journey for the one we truly love, our One Love. Don't ever give up. Thank you for taking time to read this. If you are struggling to stay on the path for your marriage/relationship please feel free to contact us. Send an email to aem...

Let's pretend we're back in the classroom. I know I know, you're thinking "the last time I had school was years ago." But still, let's pretend your house is your classroom. Now (let's say you have kids) who is the teacher? Is it you, or your kids? Hold on! Before you answer that, think really quickly. Are you really the teacher here? This is a bit of a trick question because most of the time we are the teachers...but there is plenty of times that our own children become our teachers. "What do you mean? How can my child possibly teach me? you think. Kids have a lot to teach us about who we are and even who they are. Let's give an example. Let's say you have a son, we'll call him John. You've been struggling with controlling John's anger and it seems to be getting worse. Anytime he gets angry he acts out by throwing things or slamming doors. Now lets say your husband is in a mood (they all get that way sometimes) and he just stormed ...

“Don’t think about how hard it is, think about how great the need is for you to be there.” This is a phrase I repeatedly pondered over while I was at boot camp for a mission trip last year and something I told my brother when he went away to a military camp. Basically it means don’t be focused on how difficult it is for you to be where you are at or to be doing what you’re doing. Think about how important it is and all that are counting on you.

Constructive criticism and Destructive criticism are both similar because they both build but one gets confused with the other way too often. Destruction builds down. It builds a foundation for an unstable and abandoned person. Construction doesn’t have negative affects. It’s all about building up someone not only for your own benefit but for the others benefit. Destruction causes death and divorce. Construction builds up courage, character and creation.

Somethings take experience and as much knowledge as you can get to create success. Have you ever tried a dish that somebody made and asked them what they did or how they made it only to have them tell you they used a secret ingredient? How did that make you feel? The odds are that you probably wondered in your mind "what could that secret ingredient possibly be?" You constantly keep trying to figure out what it could be but time and time again they never tell. The problem with that is, how can you make the recipe if you don't even know the secret ingredient? Today we are talking about the secret ingredient to relationships (any kind) and there is one secret ingredient to make it work. The great thing about this one, is you actually get to learn what it is...Now think about when you bake something or cook something for the first time. Do you ever master it right away? Chances are it takes you a few tries to actually get it right. Sometimes the problem is the timing, other ...
