School Year Prayers From A Mama’s Heart – September
As we settle into the school routine there will be choices made every day that will impact the next generation. While it is easy to see the negative things that will impact our children, let’s be a part of the positive things that can leave a lasting impression.

School Year Prayers from a Mama’s Heart: August – A TEACHABLE HEART
There are so many thoughts that flood my mind as we embark on another school year. The excitement of a new beginning is always something to look forward to, however, there are things that weigh heavy on a mama’s heart as she packs up the new back pack, lunch box and prepares the clean undies and school clothes the night before the first day.

There is a successful feeling tied to the completion of projects and tasks, however, I have learned to stop allowing my plans to dictate my happiness. When things don’t go as planned there is no reason to get upset, frustrated, or crazy. And trust me, I have plenty of experience in the crazy category. Things happen. Life happens.
