School Year Prayers From a Mama’s Heart – April
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. 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 only comes from God. I can manipulate, coerce, and train my children certain nuances about wise decision making, but real wisdom will only be attained if
More of God’s Presence – Week 1
Welcome to Week 1 of More of God’s Presence. In this series we will walk through Psalm 23 together. If you desire to experience God’s presence in a deeper way, you are going to love this series! WEEK 1: My Shepherd I began my prayer with a list that saturated my thoughts: “Dear Heavenly Father, I need this. I need that. If you would just clarify that one thing, and if you could just take care of that other situation. If you could give me a sign that would be great. I really need to know what to do and
School Year Prayers from a Mama’s Heart – March
I looked around the room and I saw a girl who seemed uncomfortable. She looked terrified to be in church, and she obviously didn’t know anyone in the group. I was faced with a choice.

Love is difficult to define to a child or anyone really. While the world sells love in red lipstick, smooth skin, an hour-glass figure, and luscious eye lashes, we know real love has nothing to do with appearance or performance. Although we know this in our minds, sometimes our actions speak otherwise. We praise our children for great performances. We post the highlights of their accomplishments and we rally behind them as they do well in school, sports, and other activities. There is nothing wrong with cheering on our kids. I think it’s necessary and even appropriate. But if we
School Year Prayers from a Mama’s Heart – January
With every new beginning is the excitement of new possibilities, new opportunities, and a fresh start. As we pack lunches with our new way of clean eating, zip up the backpacks the night before because we are determined to make this year the year that mornings are not chaotic, and actually remember to put dinner in the crockpot before we walk out the door, let’s remember to sincerely pray for the hearts of the people under our roof. There are lots of lists to prepare, charts to post and meal plans to execute, but all of these are useless if

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
