I am a person who thrives on routine. Every morning I make coffee, slip away for a few minutes of Bible study, shower and eat the same breakfast—a bowl of oatmeal with milk and walnuts. For date nights with my husband John, I want to eat at the...

1. High school romances 2. Buying more books than I could ever read. (I've given away hundreds and should have made better use of the library.) 3. Not being more dedicated to exercise. 4. Declining lunch invitations over my to-do list. 5. Not getting...

It's being called the Hollywood baby boom because all of the stars, it seems, recently had, is about to have, or just announced they're having a baby. It's a trend that I've been noticing for a while, just check out the covers of magazines...

As many of you know, I was one of three ladies who helped start Hope Pregnancy Center in Kalispell, Montana in 2000. Because of my past, helping women facing crisis pregnancies is near and dear to my heart. That's why I thought you'd appreciate...

(And by men I mean I'm focusing on my husband!) 1. Men can't read your mind. If you "hint" at wanting help, they will not get it. Asking sweetly works much better. 2. Men don't like to be rushed with problems as soon as they get...

My favorite booksigning happened about five years ago at ICRS. I was signing one of my WWII novels for Moody and right across from me was Kirk Cameron and his mom signing a book that she wrote. I had a pretty good line. My sweet husband was talking to...

Last night we had an interesting dinner conversation. I needed to head to church to organize baby clothes for our Teen MOPS group. The conversation centered around who would go to church with me as my bodyguard--either my husband or one of my sons. It...

The best way you can prepare your heart for your future husband is to surrender everything in your life to God. To hold out your hands, palms up, and pray, “Lord, I'm yours.” Take a few minutes and write down a summary of who you are....

I sat in the back seat of my mom's car next to John. My mom had taken us to the nearest city to look for a family car. Our wedding date was only a few months away and a lot was on my mind. The car was the least of my worries. I leaned my head on John's...

Have you always thought about your first kiss? A first kiss symbolizes attraction—someone desires you and you desire that person in return. And you, of course, want to be desired. We all do. In a world with billions and billions of people you want...

As I sat down to do my devotions on Christmas morning God put this on my heart. I'm not sure of why today of all days, perhaps because as we celebrate a baby born for the purpose of saving our souls, God's heart aches for all the young women who need...

Recently I've been working on my non-fiction book for young women (co-written with Robin Jones Gunn), Praying for Your Future Husband . In it I talk a lot about how God brought me an amazing husband after I started praying for one--despite the fact I...

...and each of them stuck in the middle of a situation. You see, these are the books I haven't had a chance to write yet, but the people and stories are real all the same. I can't say when an idea may hit. Sometimes when I'm watching a documentary or...

Dinner is one of my favorite times of the day. First, because believe it or not I like cooking. Sometimes I don't like stopping my writing to cook, but I love pulling out ingredients and then an hour later having a yummy meal spread out on the table....

When we moved to Arkansas I have to admit I felt out of my comfort zone. The first week we were here, the kids and I drove to Central High School, home to the Little Rock Nine. If you're familiar with history, then you know the story of the Little...

Many people ask me what it's like to have a baby in the house again. Honestly ... it's amazing! When I first became a mom I was 17-years-old, ashamed and very unsure of myself. After I married, John I had two more kids in four more years. My third...

Today I wore a supergirl costume. It included a silver headband, wristbands, and arm bands made out of foil. Why? Because my husband has a passion for children's ministry, and I like to support him. I played supergirl in front of twenty 3, 4, &...

Even though it was twenty-one years ago, I still remember what it was like to go to school pregnant. I'd been a cheerleader, on the yearbook staff, an honor roll student--on the outside a good kid. At the time, most of the kids I knew were sleeping...
