FYI: Our {semi-local} Target was setting up their "Back to School" area when I was there yesterday. August is coming quick! Don't let your summer slip away. Be intentional about having fun! We've been to the beach (with friends) twice this week, even though I'm pms-ing, even though ...
Reflections from my 10 yr class reunion
Thoughts the day before my class reunion: I'm not going! But just in case I do, in the next 24hrs: Drink water Avoid carbs Whiten teeth Shave legs Thoughts just hours before the reunion: Crap, I ate carbs! Could I buy one of those girdle things? I really wasn't cute in high school, so I'm sure no ...
Slowing Down, Seeing More
It started early last week. I told God I felt like I was drowning in my tasks and I couldn't take anymore. Life wasn't enjoyable in that moment. My calendar was full and my to-do list was far too long. I told him things needed to slow down. I was in pain, too busy, and needed a break. Then I ...
Self Care: No Fair!
“Life isn’t fair” I bet you can’t count how many times you’ve heard that before! When our second child was a toddler I set the rules that my children were NOT allowed to say “NO FAIR!”. It’s still a rule in this house today. It drives me bonkers to hear other kids say this too. Call me crazy ...
A Letter to my Children… & You
Written for my children, for when they are older and will understand it more. But maybe you {my dear readers} could use this right now, too? I know I would benefit from these words being spoken to me daily. My Dear Children, I pray you are clinging tightly to Jesus. Be ready. Be ready for ...
Yes, No, Well Maybe?
I've been struggling with this verse I bookmarked on my Bible App awhile back. It was about your Yes being Yes and your NO being No. I went to look it up on the computer to be sure I had the right wording before processing it and found another very similar verse, but it still didn't make me feel ...
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
A morning walk with my blessings. A bouquet of dandelions. Hanging clothes to dry by His gentle breeze. A no-frills lunch with a beautiful friend in my favorite hometown. A shopping trip strictly for the purpose of planting a surprise blessing on someone else. Words with friends. Dinner, ...
Her First Communion
As a parent my biggest struggle and greatest joy is guiding my children in their relationship with Christ. I want their faith to be their own, not something I force on them and they later reject because I was too overbearing. I also don't want to do too little now that someday when they are 23 ...
A Word From Romans
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in ...
Just a Few Quick Notes
I don’t have time to write out a full blog post but I want to share a few quick notes I’ve taken at MOPS this year. If you are a parent, you are a leader. You will always be a leader. Put verses where you can soak them in. This is as simple as writing out a verse on a note card and sticking ...
