Learning to plan
I’m pretty sure I have mentioned that I am not great at planning ahead. I have a tendency to just wait till the last minute and then be stressed as can be because I wasn’t prepared. The prayer of my heart is to be a proverbs 31 woman. That, and to have a gentle and Continue reading

I’m not a good Christian.
I think that sometimes we have become a little bit mixed up about what a Christian is. We think we are “bad Christians,” or “good Christians” based on how shiny we appear to everyone around us. “Oh I have never been drunk, I saved sex for marriage, yada yada.” We get so focused on this Continue reading

Special Time.
Since I was a little girl, my mom, grandma and I had a yearly tradition. We called it a “special time.” I’m not sure how we came up with the name for it, but it is exactly what it sounds like. The three of us sequestered ourselves for a few days in a motel, we Continue reading

Feeling like a mama failure
Do you ever feel like a total failure as a mom? Who am I kidding. Of course you do. It’s a struggle that we all have, and our enemy loves to whisper about it in our ears. When I have voiced this awful feeling, with tears brimming over, so many people have told me the Continue reading

We are raising adults.
I can tend to be very task focused. It’s a blessing and a curse, as it means I’m often pretty good at finishing my to do list, but it sometimes leaves the people who depend on me feeling neglected. The floors sparkle and supper is stellar, and I sit there proud of my ability to Continue reading
