My kids started school last week. We’ve navigated the ‘back to school’ season before. We’re not experts, but we’re familiar with the change from summer break to schooling again. However, this year was different. I was nervous all day, all week, actually. I had butterflies in my stomach each time I dropped them off, and they […]
Last weekend, we were at a wedding. My daughter started to get restless after sitting quietly for so long. I pulled out a piece of paper and pen and began playing tic- tack- toe with her to keep her quiet and occupied. She insisted on starting first for each game. She would make the first […]
A few weeks ago, I shared that we had the opportunity to travel to india earlier this summer. It was definitely an adventure for our family. Our first few nights in India, I had a hard time falling asleep. I remember laying in bed one night, listening to the hum of the AC unit, trying like mad […]
This past month, I had the opportunity to vacation/survive in India. It was our first time going as a family of four. My husband and I went 15 years ago, a few months after we were married, to meet the extended family. This time, we were going with our kids, and planned several stops within […]
Last week, we found a littler of baby bunnies buried in our flower bed. My dog had been sniffing around a certain spot and when he began digging, he unearthed this group of babies, huddled together, their eyes still closed. We managed to transplant them to another area where they could grow undisturbed. We have […]
Today was my day off. When you imagine having a day off, what do you see? A long, leisurely cup of coffee? A good workout? A nap? Watching a movie? Those are all delightful things. However, that is not at all what my day off looks like… I usually have a list of things that […]
“Be the woman who fixes another woman’s crown and doesn’t tell the world that it was crooked” I ran across this quote several months ago. I loved it so much that I posted it on the wall in my closet where I can see it everyday. I love the thought that as children of God, […]
In the New Testament, we read several incidents where Jesus cast out demons. As He approached these individuals, the demons inside of them would cry out to Jesus by name or identify Him as the son of God, begging for mercy. Mark 3:11 (NLT) tells us that Jesus didn’t even have to approach these demons […]
This week, I am going to give you a peek behind my screen… For the last few months, I have had a hard time hearing from God. Nothing in my life has really changed- I still have my quiet time in the morning. I still have my worship music blasting in my car. I’m not back […]
My kids love helping in the kitchen. Well, scratch that. They really love helping in the kitchen when it’s something that THEY want to eat- usually desserts but sometimes dinner. When they hear me start to prep, they run into the kitchen (especially my daughter) , frantically asking “Can I help? Can I help??” (I […]
A Team Huddle
The photo you see wasn’t planned or staged. In fact, my husband’s parents didn’t realize I was even taking a picture. They were staying with us the week of Thanksgiving, and when I walked out
