The blog for Heart of Womanhood.
Whether I see one in a hotel, a restaurant or a retail store, my creative mind appreciates clever construction signs. It’s a common sight. When undertaking a renovation project, businesses display posters that communicate the motivation behind their mess. The dream behind their dust. Construction signs like these have brought happy to my heart recently: [...]
Every 4th of July morning, our ordinary collection of middle-class houses becomes an extraordinary celebration of family and freedom with an annual neighborhood parade.

Kiddos jazz up their [...]
Like re-reading a meaningful book or re-watching a favorite movie, this month's Heart of Womanhood Blog is a re-play. Why? Because this momma needed to be reminded of these truths----again!

Our guest writer this month, Lisa Preuett, is a mom who understands life's hard. She knows what it's like to be a single mom, a mom of a prodigal, but most importantly she is a mom who has lived to trust and see God's redemption. She is a mom who has learned to live by [...]
I was 35,000 feet up in the air when it happened the first time. While flying to speak at a church my gaze shifted from the clouds around the aircraft to the open Bible in my lap. As I began to review the passage for the “Chalk Talk” that night, I noticed that God’s Word [...]
The Wiggintons are Christmas card people. We like to send Christmas cards. We like to receive Christmas cards. We’ve always been Christmas card people. When I said “I Do” to my husband in 1985, I said “I do” to many things! One desire my husband made perfectly clear during our engagement was that he’d like [...]
