The Lord Will Fight For You

By Samantha Evans

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14 It might be one of the most annoying things to deal with as a parent, but it is undeniably true: if you have more than one kid, sibling conflict is a part of family life. My kids have had their fair share of quarrels over the years. Too many to remember them all. However, there is one particular incident that will forever remain engraved in my mind and heart.

Learning a New Language – Speak Life!

By Samantha Evans

"The tongue has the power of life and death." Proverbs 18:21 Just like with any skill that’s worth attaining, learning a new language takes a lot of practice.

By Samantha Evans

I don’t know about you but if I don’t keep myself in check I can very easily fantasize about the perfect Hallmark Christmas, and I seem to forget that every guy in those movies is an actor following a script that was probably written by a woman. Neither one of those men had to personally come up with thoughtful gift ideas, go shopping, wrap presents, or create the dreamy ambiance for their Christmas extravaganza.

5 Things to Remember on Valentine’s Day

By Samantha Evans

ONE - The greatest love you’ll ever know, is the love of God. So whether you are happily married, married but lonely, or single, remember that no man will ever fully satisfy the deepest longings of your heart. Only God can do that. Take some time to dwell in His love for you by reading His word, spending time in worship, and praying. TWO - Love is not a feeling, love is an action. Even if you are not feeling all lovey-dovey towards your husband because of a disagreement or conflict, you can still take a step towards getting closer…
