A Four-Letter Word

Are you guilty of saying this four-letter word?  We have all said it.  The next question is have you acted it out?  I will admit that I have, but thankfully over the years, as I’ve grown in Christ, He has begun a work in me that allows me to walk in love, His love.  I… Continue reading A Four-Letter Word

Balancing Act

I’ve not written on my blog for a few weeks and that is because I’ve allowed myself to get out of balance.  Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a work-away-from-home mom, motherhood is a balancing act.  I find it difficult to balance all my responsibilities AND keep my sanity.  At times I feel myself… Continue reading Balancing Act

Next Steps

My boys are starting 1st grade today.  One day last week, we had been talking about school starting back and they had gotten excited about it.  However, later that evening, Joshua called me into his room.  Through tears, he said, “Mom I’m not ready for 1st grade.”  I assured him he was more than ready. … Continue reading Next Steps

Love Never Fails

I don’t like to talk politics and I’m not going to start now.  However, I do like to talk about God and His Word.  Considering recent events, I decided to take a hard look at what I’m teaching my children regarding how they treat other people.  They know the song, Jesus loves the little children,… Continue reading Love Never Fails

Today, I heard a crash in the kitchen.  I immediately ran in there to find my son standing next to a broken bowl.  Not just any bowl but my favorite blue bowl that I keep on the counter to hold fruit and snacks.  It is not one that can be easily replaced, and I’m not completely… Continue reading Scars

Life’s Detours

This morning, a series of events at home caused me to leave for work later than I normally would.  As I traveled my usual route to work, I was met by a detour put in place by the Sheriff’s Office.  I was required to take an alternate, lengthier route – along with many other cars. … Continue reading Life’s Detours

Seek Him First

I woke up early this morning, and at first thought I would turn on the TV and watch the news or something.  Then I thought – no, I’m going to spend time with God, which should have been my first thought to begin with.  I find that I sometimes struggle with giving my free time… Continue reading Seek Him First

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with to-do lists, appointments, responsibilities, and other obligations?  I know there are days and even weeks I experience this.  I sometimes feel as if I can’t get my head above water, and I struggle to prioritize everything that is calling my name.  There are times I continue for several days… Continue reading Keep Swimming
