The Gospel Centered Woman website.


This is a new site created to supplying great resources for discipling women with the gospel as a central focus. 




When reading Wendy Alsup's post about the site coming out she mentions the site authors being "burdened that each of us understand the depth and breadth of what Jesus' has done for us. And, like me, they are particularly burdened for women to understand these things." What a blessing!! To have sisters and brothers in Christ who see the importance of women knowing biblical truth.

Check out the site if you haven't already. I am particularly excited about the series - The Gospel and the Old Testament. Here's a little exert from the opening post... this series sounds so great!

"However, many well meaning Christians in our churches have a file cabinet view of the stories of the Old Testament. In that paradigm, the Psalms contain files of reassuring words for hard moments. Genesis’ file folder is full of interesting moral lessons. The Proverbs file is useful when one needs good advice. The Law and Minor Prophets? Many aren’t sure of their purpose, and the file folders containing those stories often gather dust. The separate file folder approach to the Old Testament misses the connections between those stories and the gospel that Jesus explained on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. When we look for the gospel in the Old Testament, the separate file folders open up, and the characters stumble out of our filing cabinet, joining hands from Genesis until Jesus appears in person in Matthew. Each story feeds the next, teaching us of God’s good plan before time began to redeem His people."

While I don't ever aspire to have a "pinterest home" or ever be able to make "bunny butt" cupcakes (yep, they're real). I'm thankful to find my value in the Lord rather then in my own "abilities" as a homemaker. 
(Read a great post by Laura Leonard, "Why Women Are Obsessed with Pinterest" here)

I do however like to keep pinterest on hand for easy no bake recipes, free prinatbles, great fonts, and a bit of inspiration for those winter days ahead. So here are some recent pins.

No Bake Oatmeal Bars (I'm going to make an attempt at these tomorrow)
Pinecone Cluster Wreath
Camel Apple Dip  (nom nom nom)
UGG, don't these look so cozy & dry (bring it snow)
Message Board (can't wait to make this)
Leaf Cable Sticker (brilliant and adorable)
Baking Printable's (love these for homemade christmas gifts)


Some food for thought.. (pinterest always makes me hungry!)
Do you think pinterest and other forms of media like it are causing us to become less creative in the organic sense of coming up with beautiful idea's on our own, or do you think they just continue to fuel ideas? If you have an opinion on the subject, comment below.

I took this picture at sunset on a fall day in Port Elgin.  Andrew and I were sharing a few days at a cute little cottage with my parents. We were celebrating my Moms victory in surviving breast cancer that year. It felt so sweet to walk with her and Dad through the harbour, savouring God's goodness and beautiful creation. I will always cherish this time, full of beach walks with Mom, warm hot chocolate and just relishing in her company and wonderful wisdom.

This design will soon be available in my etsy shop as an art print for download.

My mom recently got me into this book after borrowing it from a friend.


Its been such an intense and interesting read. I was able to find the book at my local library and couldn't put it down. The book has some great insight into the FLDS community and why it's so hard for women to leave it. I will be praying for those that are still involved in this lifestyle and religion (especially those located in western Canada).

Back cover: In September 2007, a packed courtroom in St. George, Utah, sat hushed as Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced her to marry her first cousin at age fourteen. This harrowing and vivid account proved to be the most compelling evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of this closed community and the lengths that Jeffs went to in order to control the women in it. Now, in this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall tells her incredible and inspirational story of her time in the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), detailing how she emerged from its confines to help bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.
Read more reviews of Stolen Innocence here.


Read the beautiful testimony of a woman that grew up in the FLDS and later escaped, and received Jesus as her Savior here (on Christianity Today).

From my family to yours - we are wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving. 

I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1 vs 12-17



This print available in my Lovely Ink Designs shop.

Lisa-Jo Bakers wrote an amazing post 10 Things To Do Differently *Before* You Lose Your Temper on her blog Surprised by Motherhood. This is a great resource for a mom with one or many children running around her home.

Jen Wilkins wrote a wonderful post about cherishing all of the personalities and gifts that God blesses a child with in her post when your child's personality annoys you.

This adorable wrap is a MUST BUY for whenever we might be having baby #2... no I'm not pregnant. Settle down. I personally LOVE the Natural & Grey Stripe option.

We are so so happy with our latest scarf purchase (ok, our only scarf purchase) for Emma from Coral and Poppy. She loves wearing it, it keeps her cozy and its adorable. This plaid one is calling my name.. now if only I could fit it in the budget..



And... last but definitely not least. I really appreciated this post A Lazy Mom Reviews Toddler Activities on Hellobee. This mom's little boy sounds EXACTLY like Emma. Many fun toddler crafts or activities tend to be a waste of time as Emma bulldozes through them or ends up eating the pasta she is supposed to be sorting. I still can't decide if making play dough is worth it, as it might all disappear into her mouth when I leave the room. Sigh. This mom writes an honest review of some toddler activities and lets you know if they are worth your time. I also just love the honest title. Here's one of my favourite parts:

"I started scanning Pinterest for activities, hoping to find something worthwhile.  My expectations were running high; my head was filled with images of Scribble and I peacefully sorting beans. 
Needless to say my expectations were dashed!"

Amen sister, mine too.
