Dealing With Past Pain
When tragedy, trial, or trauma invades a child’s life at the most tender of ages, it is destined to leave a mark. Some people hope that their loved ones will never have to experience the same things they have. For others, the only life they know is warped, complicated, and abusive. Unfortunately, in many cases, generational sin continues with more abuse, anger, and outrageous behavior. But thankfully, there are some who have escaped the cycle of sin in spite of the life they coped with as a little one. My childhood did include wonderful memories, but it also included rejection
School Year Prayers from a Mama’s Heart – February
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.

You try to convince yourself that everything will turn out fine, but the truth is you really don’t know. As you try to press forward, your mind is consumed with the struggle at hand. You want to see beyond the trial and move ahead with a positive outlook, but your thoughts of what might be bombard your mind. It makes your heart beat a little faster and your stomach ache in
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
