My mama’s Bible study group and I were reading through and studying the book of Jeremiah recently, and in the second chapter, God reveals His frustration at Judah for forsaking Him, the fountain of living water, for broken cisterns that they had made themselves – meaning that they had sunk deep into idolatry and sin […]
The other night, I was running the race and the finish line was bedtime. Little people all done for the day, check that box and move on! Bathtime was a process, complete with discovering a little lie that had been told, subsequent discipline and some big life lessons. At first, I was frustrated and immediately […]
Well, hello there friends! For awhile now I’ve been debating and haven’t written because it seemed like the obvious thing to write about was the Coronavirus, and I really didn’t want to write about that. It seemed like there was already so much noise surrounding the outbreak and an absolute avalanche of articles, news stories, […]
Hey everyone! Long time, no post! But that is because I made a promise awhile ago that I was only going to write when I was ready to say what God wanted me to say, so this time, its taken a bit longer to figure that out, and as a result, this is a belated, […]

It’s back to school time! It’s so hard to believe, but it is. Some mamas are crying as they watch their babies go off into the world, and some mamas are standing in the middle of their empty living rooms singing the Hallelujah Chorus! I’ll leave it to you to guess which I will be […]
In the French, that phrase literally means “the joy of living”. It randomly popped into my mind while I was spending time with my curly girl this past weekend. She is about to be 15 months old, and between the inevitable meltdowns that accompany learning how to do life, she is a joyful and happy […]
Hold tight, this one may be a little heavy. My mind was racing last night as I was praying about what to write this week — sometimes my thoughts just overtake my mind, and I can’t sleep until I write them down. I pray that I can write this all out clearly and that whomever […]
One day in the recent past, I was driving to meet a friend to take our children out for the day. It was the first beautiful, sunny day that followed on the heels of weeks of cold, grey, lingering winter weather. I had been prepared, on time, and it was promising to be a good […]
