Best Birthday Present

Today is my 31st birthday.

Today is the day my precious daughter formally began her walk with Jesus.

Though, in her words, "I've been doing this for a long time. I pray to Jesus in my bed every night."

Yesterday and today, Chloe has been questioning what it means to be a Christian. Caleb is proud that he is one, and she was curious what he meant by this.

Brett explained to her this evening what it means to be a Christian. Chloe confirmed she believed these truths (and assured us she's known them and been following them for a long time, which I definitely believe....she's always prayed so sincerely and full of faith!).

She did not want to pray at that moment to make it official (all of the kids were watching, and she got shy).

Tonight, before bed, she brought it up again and said she's ready to pray. So I prayed with her, and Chloe instantly became flooded with joy!!! It was soooo sweet!!

I am so excited for my sweet girl and new sister in Christ!! God is so good to our family. I am so thankful my kids are growing up knowing and loving Him!!

Women Are Powerful

In the past few Family First Friday posts, I have encouraged you to respect your husband, speak to him kindly, and be considerate (among other things). One might mistake these qualities as a woman who is a doormat, without an opinion, who never shares her thoughts. A godly woman is anything but those. God created women to be powerful . Amazingly powerful. Though God designed an order to families, women are not less than or inferior. We are different than men, but we are just as valuable. Unfortunately, many women misuse the power the Lord has given them through manipulation and control. Those are grave errors and will destroy a marriage (and a person). As I refer to power, I am definitely not speaking of those things. The power I speak of is the unique call of God for women to fulfill the destiny He has planned for each of us. This power is honoring of men (and other women) and does not fear losing control. I often tell my kids: "God created you to do something on this e

And Baby Makes 6

Baby Williams #4 is on the way!! We are beyond thrilled. I am due June 22, so I am about 4 and 1/2 weeks along. Each time I have been pregnant, I can almost tell immediately....I get insanely tired and very emotional (some might call it irritable). Because of that, I have never actually surprised Brett with a pregnancy. For a week leading up to taking a test, I say about 431 times a day, "I think I am pregnant"....so by the time I take the test, it is no surprise. I plan for this to be my last pregnancy. The only reason I don't say that without absolute certainty is because anytime I try to make "my" plans, God surprises me....but our plan is to stop with 4. I feel like this will be my last pregnancy, and for the first time ever, I am really excited about that! Because it's my last, I wanted to actually surprise Brett this time. Even though I felt tired and emotional, I did not mention thinking I was pregnant. As soon as I could, I took a test, an
