The One Thing Your Child Needs
What is the one thing your child needs? Wisdom doesn’t come natural. It’s not something you can give to your child on their tenth birthday and expect them to cherish it, treasure it, and keep it forever. It’s a day-by-day, moment-by-moment process. “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.” Proverbs 1:5 (KJV) The hard part is that children have to learn wisdom for themselves. Although I would love to impart every ounce of wisdom I contain into my children, wisdom in itself does not come from me. Wisdom
Hope for the Worn Out Mom
You know those moments in life when you really want to be nice, kind, and encouraging to the people nearest and dearest to you, but due to your level of exhaustion or the hormones that seem to be a bit unpredictable, you lash out? No? You don’t have those moments? Me either. Actually I have had many moments. I start out with really good intentions. I get up early, drink enough coffee to give even the most exhausted elephant energy and I convince myself that I’m going to be upbeat, fun, and pleasant. By the time breakfast is on the
When You Don’t See A Way Out
I looked at my phone and saw my happiest friend’s name pop up on the screen. She was my one friend I could count on for a good laugh.

Her newborn baby was waking up

When You Feel Overwhelmed
It’s been a while. There are many reasons why, but for now I’ll just share one – Foster Care. I don’t know how much of this journey I will share, but as God gives me words, I promise to let you in on the beautiful broken road we are walking. We live in a world where we are challenged to simplify, organize, and compartmentalize our lives into cute planners with holiday stickers and journals for every occasion. I’m the first to confess I love an adorable planner with a fun pink pen and a place to keep my list of
Bible Basics Children’s Book Giveaway!
I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break as I follow the direction God is leading me in this season. In February we finished up a series that led me to a place of pause. So for most of March I’ve been waiting for direction from God for the next blog series (also I’ve been finishing up final edits on my book that comes out THIS FALL! EEK! I’ll share more about that soon!). I am excited to share with you that we will be diving into a new blog series in April titled – Peace in Unknown Seasons. I’m super
