See differently.
Grow deeply.
Build wisely.

Thoughts on faith, marriage, motherhood, home, relationships and the things we sometimes have to learn, and unlearn along the way.

Becoming a woman who builds her life and home with wisdom often begins within...with the humility to examine what we believe, deal honestly with what lies beneath the surface and take responsibility for what is ours, to allow God’s truth to reshape how we live and love.

Because when a woman is willing to grow, it doesn’t only change her. It changes the way she loves, the choices she makes, the home she creates and what she passes on to her children.

Are you taking a pause before you react or respond?

Several years ago I met with a friend over drinks at a coffee spot in town. It was a normal Texas day with the sun shining bright and the humidity riding heavy.

Hey there,

I'm Christine

A wife, mom, homeschooler, homemaker and longtime work-in-progress.

I started Intentional Heart & Home as a place to share some of what I've learned about faith, family, home, relationships and becoming the kind of woman who builds her life and home with wisdom rather than foolishly tearing it down.
