Are you an Angela? Can you mentor?
Written by Heather Riggleman, Author of Mama Needs A Time Out Several years ago, a girl wandered into an old downtown theater. She had been beaten down in life by poor choices and circumstances. Her young daughter and husband were threads holding her together and even then, it wasn’t enough to keep her from trying it end all again. But something had happened a few weeks before; in an emergency room as she was strapped to a hospital bed where she heard the voice of God. Since then she had been searching to encounter him again. The front had been converted …
Going out on a limb
One of the biggest fears I have as a woman is not leaving the legacy God intended. I’m afraid of being the same person at 85 that I am at 31. This includes all aspects of my life, blogging, motherhood, character growth, and being a wife. Who doesn’t want to stand before God and not hear the words, “Well done.”? Who doesn’t want to became more like Jesus and less like a selfish 2-year-old? (Oh wait–maybe I’m the only 31 year old out there that has 2 year old moments?). Just this week, I put myself out on a limb …

Dancing with Nana
By Guest: Michelle Lazurek “Nana, do you know how to dance?” At age seven, I longed to glide gracefully across a dance floor and envisioned myself doing so in a long, flowing dress. She chuckled to herself and answered, “We moved a little differently than you kids do today, but all dancing begins with a few basic steps.” “Can you show me? Please?” I knew Nana, one of the most important people in my life, would never refuse my request. Because she lived in the adjacent house, I spent more time with her than just about anyone. I …
