School Year Prayers from a Mama’s Heart – February
Love is difficult to define to a child or anyone really.

Moms just have a special knack for getting things done. I used to feel a sense of pride when I did a hundred things at once. It made me feel like the super woman I wanted to be, but the

Our newborn baby was already fussing and I was exhausted. The sounds that were coming from my precious little one nearly sent me into a panic attack as I wondered how in the world I was going to care for this new life. She screamed the entire way home. I unbuckled the
