Hope for the Depressed Woman: Week 1
I am excited to start a new series this week! For the next few weeks I will be sharing my personal experience with depression. I don’t share this to glorify myself or to give medical or physical advice (I’m not a doctor or counselor), but I share from a deep place of my heart that once ached with feelings that I could not understand. God has freed me from depression and I hope sharing my personal experience will encourage you if you have struggled in this area of life. Depression: Week 1 – SLOW DOWN I hung up the phone
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.

We can plan, prepare and manipulate our lives, but there will always be things that

It was just one of those days. The rain was coming down steadily. The clouds made the house darker than normal and I could feel the stagnant air floating in the space around me. If I could cut through the air and open up a bubble of fresh air, maybe I could find relief. I take a deep breath in and exhale heavily. Maybe a few deep breathing exericises will get the happy cells in my brain to wake up. In a few short hours the day will be past and maybe tomorrow will be brighter. Do you ever have
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,
