Equipping Mothers For Every Good Work

April 28, 2020 No Comments
Equipping Mothers For Every Good Work | #gracelooksamazingonyou

Mothers have a big job. We direct and influence the habits, beliefs, and behavior of our children. We coordinate, clean, cook, and control chaos. We are constantly adjusting and fine-tuning our little “greenhouses” to create the optimal flourishing environment. But for all that we do, I think we are also the first to notice everything […]

The Truth About Self Care and the Source of Unshakable Joy

It had been a long day with the kids, and they hadn’t exactly been their most endearing. I needed a moment of sanity and if I’m honest, escape. This doesn’t describe a single moment in time, but a feeling I experience almost daily. There are times when my proverbial cup is empty, and I feel […]

Keeping Summer Easy with Kids

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. This summer with my kids has been a relaxing escape from schedules and places-to-be.

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm enthusiastic about understanding how things work together, and that is especially true when it comes to flavors in food and stories in the Bible.

As a lover of literature and language, studying the Bible is like a treasure hunt for me. But I don't believe theology is just for pastors or word nerds; knowing God is for everyone. I share tools, strategies and inspiration for helping you dig into Scripture and study God's Word competently. When we rightly know God we will rightly see Him for who He is, and that kind of seeing brings transformation in every area of our life.

As a lover of good eatin', I am giddy about perfectly seasoned food, harmonious flavor, and surprising culinary experiences. I'm always learning as much as I can about ingredients, techniques, and rave-worthy recipes, and I just can't help but get excited about sharing those tips with you. Better food means greater joy around the table, which means better memories and happy bodies. Feasting was built into life, and I think we should learn to be really good at it. Celebrations centered around food reflect the lavish generosity and goodness of God, and they remind us of all the joy there is to find at His table.
