School Year Prayers From A Mama’s Heart – November
If you missed the first few months of this series you can find them here: August September October Click HERE for your School Year Monthly Calendar. I cannot believe it is already November! Every year the school year seems to zoom by faster and faster and this time of year seems to slip away quicker than any other. I love the fall season and the excitement of gearing up toward Christmas, but more and more I am feeling the need to savor every single moment with my children. God is reminding me how short our days on this earth really
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Here a boy, there a boy, everywhere I look, a boy. I remember too well the way my teenage crush would change by the day, hour and minute. I wanted to find “the one” and settle into a strong relationship, but my mind and opinion of guys would change more than once a day. At some point, I grew out of my fickle feelings of hopping carelessly from one crush to another and I passionately surrendered my heart to my sparkly blue-eyed sweetheart. Much like my feelings of here a boy, there a boy, everywhere I look a boy, my
When You Question Your Calling
Have you ever felt like God was telling you to do something amazing; but, before you could translate a clear message, you talk yourself out of the calling and convince yourself that you must have heard God all wrong? Doubt sets in and questions and fears take over your mind. “But what will people say?” “What if they don’t agree with me?” “What if they think I’m crazy?” “What if they misunderstand my motive and heart behind what I’m doing?” “What if no one agrees?” “What if no one supports my decisions?” So maybe I’m the only one who has
Is Jesus Really Enough?
Sometimes it is hard to know how to process the big missing puzzle pieces of life. What is a person to do when a tragic accident takes a loved one much too soon? When illness creeps in and threatens the sanity of everything normal, how do you move forward? When a woman is finally blessed with a child in her womb and then hears the words, “No heartbeat.” What then? How do we gain enough strength, enough peace, enough grace to make it through? With Jesus. When your heart is trembling and falling completely apart sometimes, the last thing you
Hope in Hard Times – You Don’t Have to be Strong
When you are face to face with a struggle in life that seems to knock the wind out of you, you might hear people say to you: You can do it! Be strong! Hold on tight! Don’t let go! You are going to make it! What if I said, you don’t have to be strong? Many times people grow up thinking they need to muster up more strength to press on. We are told to dry our tears, pull up our boot straps and move beyond the heartache of the moment. I hear God gently telling me to let go
Pray for Cyrus
Sometimes things in life happen that we cannot understand. When illness hits, it can be heartbreaking and terrifying all in the same moment. We try to be strong, press on, and make the best of the life that lies before us, but sometimes life seems to be put on hold while we wait for test results, reactions to medications and the doctor’s short-term and long-term plans. A dear friend of mine recently received the difficult news that her precious five-year-old son has Leukemia. Immediately the things in life that seemed big now look very small. The problems that filled our
