The kids are in bed, the house is quiet, you finally take a moment to exhale, maybe even sink into your favorite chair. While you’re there, do you ever reflect on the accomplishments for the day…I mean truly take an account of what all has happened from the time you first opened your eyes that … [Read more…]
3 • Because I Said So Wednesdays
Wednesdays are reserved for the tips and tricks of the Mommy trade!
Superhuman…super moms, super women! Or…not really!
Superhuman…super moms, super women! Or…not really! “Surely God is my help; The Lord is the one who sustains me.” Psalm 54:4 Yesterday I saw a phenomenal sight while driving. It was at the Indian Lake entrance ramp onto Hwy 386. A construction worker was standing on a slope with raised arms fully extended out. … [Read more…]
How to Get More Time with Your Family
This week, our family was given 230 extra minutes! That’s right, we have been given the gift of time. We’ve decided to use this time as if it were a classroom, a giant cloud to fall into, a locker room, an open sky, and a huge concert hall. The interesting part of all of this … [Read more…]
God’s Plans
As a stay-at-home and work-at-home mom, this last week of summer has had me feeling torn between trying to squeeze in those last minutes of summer fun and feeling the need to start planning for the fall.

Change Comes in Order to Change Us

We were just outside of Nashville, but when you drove down our street, you felt as though you had entered the Smokey Mountains of East Tennessee. In the middle of the day, all you could hear out on the front porch was the rustling … [Read more…]
Your Kids Are Never too Old to Dress!
My prayer life ebbs and flows. What about yours? Some days my prayer life is so rich and other days it is lacking simply because I find my self agitated on the inside. Not angry or irritated, but agitated. It feels like a washing machine stirring the laundry. It’s that kind of feeling like I … [Read more…]
Agent of Grace
She was new to our group. A woman you could judge from the outside had not yet mastered the “church look” and our study group quickly realized had also not been trained in the “church talk.” We went around the table that morning sharing what God was doing in our lives as the result of … [Read more…]
God Welcomes You Home
I’ll never forget when my son was six years old. The sun was starting to set, and I stepped out onto the porch and called for him to come home. There was no response. I called again, but there was no sign of my son. Frantically, his dad and I searched the neighborhood calling his … [Read more…]
Want Not
Buzzing in and out of stores today with my beautiful mother, reminded me of one haunting thing: the buying of stuff is addicting and at the very least dangerous. As a friend said the other day, “shopping begets shopping.” Scripture says it another way in Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you … [Read more…]
