What Children Really Need
There are moments of motherhood that are difficult. Life gets busy and the family suffers. We hurry, rush and snap at each other and wonder why everyone is so irritable. And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” Mark 9:36-37(ESV) Then there are other moments. Sweet mama moments, when it feels like a little slice of heaven is looking right into my eyes.
Cultivating Calmness: 1 Simple Step to Calmer Mornings
If you missed last week’s post about Cultivating Calmness you can view it HERE. I am not the master of calm mornings, but I have been the creator of completely chaotic ones. I guess you could say, I have learned the hard way what not to do in the morning when children need to be fed, dressed and sent out the door for school.

I remember the way I rushed my husband out the door so that I would have more time, only to kick myself when I
When Life Is Falling Apart: Cling to Jesus
There are moments in life that are so devastating there are no words to utter. You see people surround you and their lips are moving, but the words cannot be absorbed. You try to move forward with a normal routine, but the world seems to move in slow motion as you walk in a trance giving your best effort to press on. Life can hurt deeply. It can scar the tender parts of your heart and make you feel like life is completely out of your control. The truth is, it is. Life is not ours to control. Life is
Irritated, Irrational & Frustrated: Not the Mom I Want to Be – How Do I Break Free?
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Proverbs 25:28 I’m not a perfect mom. Sometimes I’m not even a nice mom. There are days that I wake up in a rotten mood. I feel tired and the littlest thing irritates me, driving me into an irrational craze. I don’t want to feel this way, but it happens. Maybe you’ve had a day or two in this irrational land of irritability. It’s possible that you’ve had weeks or even months of complete frustration. You read parenting books, blogs,
