I sat down in my chair this morning, knowing that I felt no motivation to do ANYTHING today, including opening my Bible. Before I went ahead and opened up my Bible anyway, I talked to God quietly, reflecting and resting in the fact that he knows every facet of me, my story and my future….

Respite
I feel busy but unaccomplished. Exhausted, unmotivated and upset about it all.
Perfection in the Making
We need to be in close relationship with Him so we can be complete. So the Holy Spirit can do what He was made to do and fill in all of the missing parts of our person. And what a beautiful picture that is.
Shine Where You Are
Are you like me? Do you have unfulfilled dreams? Do you feel like God is distant in this?
Raising the Next Generation Well
Exploring the very real challenge of entitlement.
Mindset of Patience
A helpful tidbit to help you navigate each day with love and grace.
A Shattered Heart
Pain is real. And the downward spiral we can so easily fall into is real. What do we do with it all?
Intentionality
We don’t need to feel pressured to raise our children in the same way that our friends are raising theirs, we need to raise our kids in the appropriate way for them and for the goal in mind.
Kinder than Necessary
I don’t ever want my children to think life is all about them. It’s so easy to get lost in our land of plenty; there are so many needs all around us and, therefore, plenty of opportunities to teach our children to have an eye for those in need.
The Art in Us
Just as any piece of art reveals the artist, so does God’s art–his creation–reveal himself and his heart.
Read Again
Find out how to dive into a book that doesn’t include a dancing giraffe, a cat in socks or a hungry caterpillar!
Pearl Culture
“We are told that the oyster is wiser; that when an irritating object, like a bit of sand, gets under the ‘mantle’ of his shell, he simply covers it with the most precious part of his being and makes of it a pearl.”
Lost your cool today?
… yeah, me too.
Life-Giving Words
Telling someone who they are is an investment in their future. Your kind positivity might make all the difference.
“Bad Mom”
We need to focus less on the fact that we failed and more on what we do with the fail…
What’s right?
I was talking to a new-mama-friend of mine the other day and she was asking for some advice about comforting her child in the middle of the night…
What’s my Calling?
We all have the same general calling, but we are all given different assignments throughout our life.
Masterpiece~
It’s time we stop comparing everyone else’s highlight real to our “behind-the-scenes footage”— because it’s downright unfair.
Fill ‘er up!
The bottom line is that you can’t pour into your family when you yourself are empty; you will have nothing left to give.
Happy Mother’s Day
I invite you to take just a moment, take a break, to be held by our Father, just the same as you hold your children, he is holding you. You are so loved and so cherished. Happy Mother’s Day ❤
