		<description><![CDATA[Faker. The word tells me that I’m not good enough to even put on this act, that I don’t believe what I say to others or follow through when I say I’ll be praying for some one. It tells me that I’m not doing my job as a mom to show my daughter the amazing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to wonder what my husband had eaten when he came home to me—and our six-month-old baby—and said he thought we should be house parents at Mercy House. Say what? I was sleep deprived and still totally clueless about what being a mom meant at all. How in the world was I going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my story. By the time I was 17, my second dad—the man who raised me—had abandoned me. When I hit the prime of my troublemaking years, there was no dad around to discipline me; only a brokenhearted mom. I could get away with just about anything. And I mean anything. I was that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was an architect. I remember a girl asking me in college, “So what’s your major?”  “Architecture,” I told her. She responded, “Wow, that sounds so boring. Just bricks and stuff. I don’t know how anybody can study that.” I had never thought of buildings like that before. I guess that would be kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have this basket tucked in the corner of my pantry. It’s just an ordinary basket. Clearly well loved, scrapes and scratches all over it. It’s big, too. It can hold an amazing bouquet of flowers, a sleeping 3 month old baby, or a spontaneous picnic lunch for a friend. The latter is really the [...]]]></description>

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.&#8221; James 1:2-4 NLT Webster’s [...]]]></description>

I was barely 18 years old, just out of high school, getting ready to enjoy my first summer of freedom before the college years began. I [...]]]></description>
