Messy Hospitality
Posted by Cory Patterson on 9/28/2021
1 Peter 4:9 “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” Several years ago, my family went to visit some friends for the weekend for the first time. They have a lovely home, nestled in the woods in New Jersey, and every moment we spent in their home was a blessing. We...
Hit the Ground... Waltzing
Posted on 9/19/2021
Sisters, I’m back!!!!! I’m so glad to be here, in this space, reconnecting with all the things and people I love in this ministry. I took three years off to complete my Masters in Theology, and I set aside MANY things I loved so I had time to devote to my...
Where Have I Been? (Living Without Hope)
Posted on 2/7/2018
My dear Sisters for Real, I've been quiet for quite some time now. People have been asking me why I haven't been blogging or writing. "I haven't heard from you in so long!" I could blame it on being busy, but that would be less than the truth. The honest answer is...
Confessions of an Imperfect Christian Mom
Posted on 4/12/2017
My previous post, Confessions of an Imperfect Christian Wife, was my most widely read post ever. Like, by a gazillion. Apparently, when I let people in to reality of my life, it's interesting. Considering that the entire POINT of this blog is to encourage women to be real, I should have seen...
He Was With Me
Posted on 3/2/2017
Warning and disclaimer: I'm about to get really real. Read at your own risk. Last night we had dinner guests (love it!) and house guests (my in-laws, love them!), and a wonderful discussion took place about God's faithfulness in the hard times. We talked about how sometimes in the difficult places...
Fill In The Blank
Posted on 2/4/2017
Our local Sisters For Real Bible Study has just started the book of Romans. Which is pretty adventurous for us, since prior to now, we've only tackled books with 5 or less chapters. Romans, with its 16 chapters, seems long and daunting to study in depth. But we rolled up...
Too Many Distractions

Luke 9:3 - "Jesus told them: Take nothing for the journey - no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic."Lately God has been talking to me, again and again, about purpose. He's been challenging me to treat each day as if it is filled with purpose, to be...
Rest? What's That?
Posted on 12/1/2016
In my dreams, the perfect day would consist of a cozy bed, comfortable pajamas, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that needs to be done. Just hours upon hours of sleep and rest. This is probably because my life consists of almost constant activity. From the time the alarm sounds to the time I...
Earthquakes? No Biggie. Wayne Can Handle It.

It's the middle of the night. I hear a noise I don't recognize. I'm wide awake. This is a serious problem. Not because the noise is scary. Not because the noise itself is so loud or irritating that it will keep me awake. It's a problem because until I've identified what the...
There's Power in the Name
Posted on 11/3/2016
I attended a women's conference last weekend. There were amazing, humorous, intelligent women sharing about their lives and their struggles. There was beautiful music, laughter, fellowship. There was only one thing missing. Jesus. In a desire to be welcoming, to be a safe place for all women to come - the conference...
