Awhile back, I remember standing in my kitchen one late-fall morning right after breakfast, watching the morning sun stream in from the windows in the morning room across from me. I felt a warm feeling of contentment; I love that time of day, when my home is just lit up with the beautiful sunshine, warm […]
Hello there, friends! I have been wanting so much to sit down and write, but it seems like every time I try, there is a sick kiddo or crisis of some kind, or I stare at the blank page with a serious case of mom=brain and feel like I have nothing to write! Over the […]
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 […]
Can I write a whole book entitled “Things I Once Thought, That Were Just Plain Wrong”? The newest and latest thing on that list is believing that once God asks you to do something, its always and forever on your plate in the same quantity and capacity, and you may never stop doing it full […]
I didn’t even know what I was going to write until I sat down at this blank page, I just knew that I needed to write today. I just had my birthday last weekend, and as I get farther into my 30s, I start to laugh even more at my younger self and the ideas […]
I had a moment this weekend where I was deep in the grumpies. We are all sick for the 3000th day in a row, and it is honestly just wearing on me. We don’t sleep well when everyone is up coughing, and then days are filled with trudging through, wiping snotty noses and dealing with […]
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. – Hebrews 11:6 That’s a nice verse to know, and it sounds pretty simple, right? And as a plus, equations where “pleasing God” is the final […]
Hey everyone! Whew!! – it has been a hot minute since I’ve written! My fingers are a bit stiff on this keyboard 😂 I had every intention of writing before now, but as luck would have it, we have all been fighting the never ending cold/sinus infection war for the past month and a half […]
One of the things I have learned in 2019 is to be careful when you say “I’m not…” or “I don’t…” or “I’d never…”….. Before you know it, God will take those exact things you said you weren’t, didn’t and would never do, and will build you a new identity there, founded in Him, in […]
I do NOT like winter. I think I’ve already written about that like 5 times in the past year…. I hate being cold, I hate being stuck inside, I hate the dreariness of naked trees and brown earth and gray skies. I end up curling up in the corner of the house, hugging mugs of […]
