EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
We kneel with each of you in prayer for the children … and their parents. Our hearts ache for the young lives, and indeed every life, lost in the harrowing tragedy that played out before our eyes yesterday in the news reports from Moore, Oklahoma. Tragedies happen in our world every day, but yesterday we [...]
I’ve plunged back into the Proverbs 31 pool! I’m treading water and have been soaking up some information, learning about what the word “dignity” means and how I’m supposed to “wear” it! Here is what I’ve been finding. Join me! The water is very invigorating! “Strength and dignity are her clothing…” What does that mean? [...]
In the introduction to 31 Days of Prayer for My Child, Allison Yates Gaskins says “No one knows innately how to be a good mom. Every one of us is inadequate. That’s why each of us, in fact every mother who ever lived, desperately needs God.” I desperately need God. I remember the day I [...]
For the most part I’m a happy person, but there was a time in my life where I wondered if I’d ever be happy again. My darkest time was when I was 17 years old and pregnant. Because of shame, I’d dropped out of regular high school. I’d had a rocky relationship with my boyfriend [...]
So have you done any spring cleaning? Last week I tackled my boys’ room. There are four boys. In. One. Big. Room. Politely put, they are not neat freaks. They are … boys! Confession: due to the demands of large family and special child needs, either I failed to teach my children how to put [...]
Introduction and Part 1 of Treading Water in the Proverbs 31 Pool Physical Strength: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.“ 1 Corinthians 10:13 I need to be strong physically in order to accomplish my God given tasks. What are my God given tasks? I am a wife [...]
I regularly ask God to reveal what I need to see, and if there might be something that is hindering my walk with Him. While listening to a sermon on the subject of Biblical womanhood recently, Proverbs 31:25 was quoted: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.” When [...]
It was a beautiful summer day for my son’s 11th birthday, not the southern sweating-and-sweltering we have way too often. We actually celebrated the night before, but there was one gift missing. My mischievous, baseball playing, left-handed son loves fruit. Loves it and devours it! He once stood in front of a crate of clementine [...]
Every day when I wake up I am reminded of the undeserved grace that God has shown me, and the fact that the only reason I can face each morning without condemnation is because of His Son’s death on the cross. God’s grace gives me the hope and strength I need to breathe for another [...]
Recently I went for a walk in the woods. It was one of those days when the temperature hovered at 32 degrees. Thick mist had settled into the trees intent on reaching the lowest ground. The humidity was nearly 100 percent. Would there be rain, sleet, or snow? There was no way to know. It [...]
