This morning, I dropped all three of my babies (don't tell them I called them that!) off at school...and left. I left their minds and hearts in the care of three amazing teachers, but more importantly, I left their minds and hearts in the hands of Jesus. We home schooled last year, and at the… Continue reading Peace is Better

I’m Not.
Woe to Instagram, Facebook, and other wonderful social media sites. I love these sites as much as the next person. I dutifully post my cute family moments, victories, and smiles. Occasionally, I even post a picture of a sick child with a cute sad emoji to bring home the "reality" of it all...of course, while… Continue reading I’m Not.
When Selfishness Preys
As I wiped down counters, the table, and swept the floor for approximately the 10,000th time this week, I felt worn. Honest moment, anyone? I felt angry and frustrated. How in the world did the floor get THAT dirty after just a few hours since I last swept? I made a frustrated face at my… Continue reading When Selfishness Preys
When Loneliness Lingers
Have you ever been in a crowd of people, yet still felt lonely? I was talking with a friend last week who could relate to that exact feeling. I have been able to relate many times in my life too. No matter who you are, what personality type you have, or how popular you are,… Continue reading When Loneliness Lingers
Truth Wins
What a filthy place our emotions can lead us if we aren't careful. We can rapidly find ourselves submerged in a state of disillusionment and just plain crazy. When we allow our emotions to rule, we so quickly become entangled in a pattern of thinking that is detrimental to our joy. We can feel defeated… Continue reading Truth Wins

A Momma’s Worship
I see you there, sweet, tired momma. I know that you had a little one that kept you up all night, and a toddler that was jumping with excitement at the first light of morning. I know you are beyond just being tired. You've crossed the threshold from "tired" to bone aching exhaustion, yet in… Continue reading A Momma’s Worship
Waiting for my heart to catch up…
I know what is true. I know the right things to say. I know it in my mind. I've tucked truth away in my heart… YET, my heart still lags behind at times. Recently, I struggled. I was blindsided by something that pretty much knocked my feet out from under me. I knew what I… Continue reading Waiting for my heart to catch up…
Let’s Entertain Ourselves…
I did a quick Google search for the definition of "entertainment". I found several suggested definitions, but the first one that came up was a good culmination of several that used the same types of words: "the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment." When I am entertained, I am being provided… Continue reading Let’s Entertain Ourselves…
I want my kids to want…
I don't want them to starve from lack of food or things necessary for living. I want them to know what it's like to want something and not get it. It is not healthy to get everything that we want. I don't want them to feel entitled. Entitlement breeds laziness and discontent. I don't want… Continue reading I want my kids to want…
