Hi, I’m Dianne!

Welcome to my home on the Internet! Grab a cup of coffee and join me for a while! There are few things I like better than a good cup of coffee shared with a good friend. When life gets lifey (as my sweet mama says), there is nothing like spending time with a good friend. Talking through issues. Giving and receiving encouragement. Praying together. Celebrating together. What woman doesn’t need that!

Sometimes, though, our friends aren’t always available.

But there is a Friend who is equal to the task. In fact, He’s more than equal. Jesus surpasses the role of friend in every way. If you haven’t already met Him, I’d love to introduce you. You can meet Jesus here.

I began my blog began when my three children were, uhmmm, children! Barely teenagers making heir way through junior high school.

Except …

With each challenge our kids face, we learn as much (if not more than) they do in the process. Others have said parenting teens is not for sissies. I agree. To get to the other side, we go through deep waters of our own.

 Regardless of our age, we will always wade (or swim) through deep waters from time to time. I’m thankful that God tells us:

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (Isaiah 43:2, emphasis added)

He is with us through all of it.

I love helping connect women with God’s Word.

The relational and emotional needs of women run deep. God meets those needs amazingly! In fact, I have a gift for you! A 5-day Mini Bible Study that will help you know the One who knows you better than anyone else (See below). When you fall in love with Jesus and the Bible, you will experience life in a rich and meaningful way. It’s not an easy life, but it is fully satisfying.

Here you will find encouragement for your daily living as well as the challenge to walk in the truth of God’s Word (which is not always easy). I have lots of resources for you, including more Mini Bible Studies, devotionals, and Bible study tools.

When you leave here, I pray your heart feels lighter; you feel hopeful about your day; and are encouraged to deepen your relationship with the Lord.
