Coming Soon

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 12:05 am By Abra Carnahan

This is what blogging really looks like, folks. Coming in August on the topic of body-image and God. I’ve been praying for several days as I contemplate the subject and about 5 hours worth of typing in. Still a long way to go! Please join me in praying for wisdom, clarity of mind and that it will bless many who read it. Read more

Ladies, Be Courageous!

Last updated on: July 10, 2014 at 11:35 pm By Abra Carnahan

READ THIS: Married men: your porn habit is an adultery habit This is something women need to understand, too. To not call out your father, your brother, your pastor, your husband, your son, or your friend on pornography (regardless of the medium, frequency or evaluated “core”) is to hate him. When we justify them, when we refuse to confront, when we ignore, we ourselves have sinned and more than that, we are willingly allowing them to destroy themselves. Ladies, we need... Read more

It’s Not Me, It’s Him.

Don’t be misled by my blog, my Facebook and twitter feeds. Don’t be fooled by my house, my minivan, my church, my family or my face. I am not a Christian because I am better, stronger, faster, wiser or more organized. I am a Christian because I got to the end of my rope. I couldn’t survive on my own. I tried. It didn’t work. “We come to Christ because we are desperate for grace, starving for grace, needy for grace.... Read more

Catching Fire

Last updated on: July 6, 2014 at 9:41 pm By Abra Carnahan

Wives, do you want to learn how to satisfy your husband in bed? Do you want the secret to becoming a better wife? Perhaps your desire is to be the best mom you can be. Maybe you are looking to become a good friend to those around you. Put down the magazine. Stop googling 10 Steps to a Better You. Forget what the blogs say. Do you want to be a better person? This is where it starts: Cruciform Life... Read more

It’s Not About Us

Last updated on: July 6, 2014 at 8:36 pm By Abra Carnahan

Parents, we need to be mindful of our motives today. Anything we choose to give or withhold from our children means nothing apart from Christ. The ability to teach, to train, to bless is not in anything we do. While we desire to raise up men and women of God, the ultimate goal is to glorify God every step of the way. Our job is to (humbly) live truth in love. Our worth is not determined by how many tantrums... Read more

Zing Bang

Last updated on: July 6, 2014 at 4:41 am By Abra Carnahan

“If your desires for your marriage come out of brokenness or fear, your desires cannot be completely healthy.” See more at: What do you Want? I came from a broken home, and while I know that this blog is for the guys, I often am convicted of my own sins as I wife through it. I got hit today. So thankful to be convicted of fears that are hurting my marriage so I can surrender them. Read more

A Walk Through on VBACs and Why Hospitals Can’t Always Offer Them

Last updated on: July 2, 2014 at 8:55 pm By Abra Carnahan

Vaginal Births After Cesarean (aka VBAC) have become a bit of a hot topic since our local hospitals stopped providing this service. Some people are angry, some people are thankful, others don’t tend to care since we haven’t personally had a c-section. After hearing the debates and seeing the petitions, I decided it was time to go on an information hunt and figure out what all the controversy was about. But first, you should probably be aware of birth my philosophy.... Read more

Stones and a Slingshot

Last updated on: July 1, 2014 at 2:43 am By Abra Carnahan

For the last couple months, a dear friend and I have been working through Becoming Myself together. Honestly, so far it hasn’t been much fun for me. Every chapter hits a nerve — a raw nerve more often than not. I’m thankful to be going through the book with someone who is so tender-hearted and compassionate. The experience has been enabling me to work through and move on past several painful issues. However, we had to put the study on pause... Read more

Wives, “There is nothing wrong with you. God made you unique and wonderful. Society wants to push you into something you are not… please fight back!” Husbands, “For some reason God made female sexuality less uniform than male sexuality. For women “normal sexuality” is a wide continuum, not a bull’s eye.” Check out You Might be Sexually Normal If to read more. Read more
