The past two Sundays our Sunday School teacher has referenced a sermon by Adrian Rodgers where Dr. Rodgers stated, “I don’t know how much of God you have, but you have all of God you want.” (Quote from Dr. Rodgers sermon Call to Conquest.) Looking at the book of Joshua and the move from [...]

Planting a Garden
March 7th, 2012 
Amy Dunbar Rolling into the year I set out to eat healthier and spend more time intentionally teaching my children. While I haven’t been posting here with the frequency that I have kept up in the past, I have definitely been busy. My business has picked up a bit, which with spring break around the corner [...]
What Not To Wear
February 15th, 2012 Amy Dunbar A couple years ago my husband and I visited a local church one Sunday morning. We dressed in our usual way, dressy casual, but were surprised when we walked in and the majority of the people were wearing shorts and Hawaiian floral shirts. Now, I don’t live in Hawaii or any other [...]
House Rules
February 13th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Imagine that you came over to my house for dinner and it was the first time you had ever been in our house and around our kids. You brought your two kids and expected to be able to visit while the kids played. Instead, I busied myself in the kitchen while my [...]

Artistic Interpretation Not Allowed
February 7th, 2012 Amy Dunbar When I see something I like, be it a painting or some other random creation, I often make little changes to make it my own. I tweek it here and there to make something – although still similar – something that represents my likes and interests. Last weekend I joined some friends from my Sunday [...]

February 1st, 2012 Amy Dunbar Three-year-olds are funny little creatures. Constantly thinking and evaluating their surroundings and applying preschool logic to everything. My son entertains me daily with this. While driving home from preschool today, he yelled, “Oh no Mommy, that tree got broken.” Several dead and brittle trees near our house had fallen over during [...]
Quelling the Thump-Thump-Thump
January 31st, 2012 Amy Dunbar The room was full with a mixture of men, women and teens. The warmth of that spring Sunday made me feel sticky. “Why had I agreed to sing this song?” I thought. “I am no singer. And in front of everyone? What was I thinking?” My hands shook a bit as the thump-thump-thump [...]
Do you Save or do you Spend?
January 26th, 2012 Amy Dunbar Some people save, others spend it while they’ve got it, and others just don’t think about it either way. Some say, “I save so that I be ready for a rainy day.” Others say, “I trust that God will make a way.” Some say, “Who knows what will happen tomorrow.” Others say, “I’m not [...]
Middle-School . . . ugh!
January 25th, 2012 Amy Dunbar What a grimy smudge in the memory of my adult mind. With discordant sounds and sour tastes. A two-year period hammered with grief and profoundly lacerated. Everything that could have gone wrong did. My parents got a divorce. I was abused by my mom’s boyfriend. I changed schools three times. I started fighting [...]
