I am a wife to the most wonderful man and mother of five amazing children. Life at our house can be loud and crazy, but, oh, so wonderful and full of love. My favorite past time with my kids is “snuggle time” (and the best snuggle time is naptime!) I am totally in love with the Lord! I love spending time with Him and in His Word. I am so thankful that He has rescued me from myself, set me free from bondage, and made me a new creation in Him! I believe in the power of His amazing grace. My heart’s cry is to encourage women to seek a more intimate relationship with the Lord through prayer, reading His Word, and walking as free women in His glorious Light. My passion is to inspire women to pursue an authentic, passionate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through a writing, speaking and teaching ministry. My hope is that women are not satisfied with a life of mediocrity and defeat, but that they live abundant, transformed, and joy-filled lives. “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19 You can find Tracy at her personal blog “Thirsty for Him“.

Lessons from a Cell Phone

My son recently learned a hard lesson in obedience.

Even though he was told he was not allowed to text on his cell phone, (yes, we have an archaic plan WITHOUT free texting) he went ahead and did anyway- to the tune of $5oo!

Our son hadn’t believed us when we told him he couldn’t text. We told him text messaging was too expensive. He didn’t really think texting was that expensive. He saw his friends doing it and figured that mom and dad didn’t really know what they were talking about.

Chasing the moon

Paul tells us to forget what is behind us! Forget about the mistakes and failures of the past. And, although we rejoice in our successes of our past, instead of being stuck in those, look forward! Jesus is right in front of our eyes. Keep your eyes on Him- straight ahead, pressing forward!

A Treasured Possession

The other day I was putting away some of my girls’ Barbies when I noticed a strange “tattoo” on one. This Barbie had Ashley’s name on her back. Although my girls share the growing population of dolls, this one was special to Ashley. She had gotten it for her birthday and wanted to make sure no one else tried to claim her. Ashley wanted to “mark” her treasured possession….she wanted to evidence to the world that this Barbie was “HERS.”
