Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope and pray that each of you has a FANTASTIC Mother’s Day today! If you are not a mom – love on your mom today. If you don’t have a good relationship with your mom – give thanks that she chose life for you, as this world would not be the same without you… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Psalm 23:4 – You are not alone!
I’m not sure what translation this is – but I think it must be from a kid’s Bible to make it easy to understand. I love it though! Many people know Psalm 23 (“The Lord is my shepherd . . . “) and how reassuring and comforting it is. But sometimes scripture can… Continue reading . . .
Why Can’t I be Good at Everything?
Guest Post by Lauren Holmes My husband and I are looking to move to a new home, so recently we have gone through the process of making repairs on the house to get it in tip top shape for the prospective buyers who come through. It seems as though every time I clean a nook… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Philippians 4:13
Not feeling like SuperMom today (or this past week)? It’s ok! Because . . . You’re not! {Ouch! I know . . . it’s hard to wake up to reality. } We were not meant to do it all . . . BUT . . . we can do more with the help of Christ… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Psalm 46:10
Well – Today I needed to hear this! I have had a busy week this past week, with Spring Break (and 5 kids at home!) and all the cleaning and purging we’ve been doing. I had meant to write my Sunday Sip yesterday, but was trying to finish up the boys and girls rooms before… Continue reading . . .
Project Purge: Day 4 results
Day 4: Not much purging – but a productive day. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post – plans had to change, and the only thing in the house that I purged and cleaned was the medicine cabinet. But boy it felt good to throw away drugs, vitamins, coffee and tea that were anywhere from a… Continue reading . . .
Happy Good Friday
I have this picture on my dining room wall. Several years ago, my husband and I went out for coffee at a Christian coffee shop, and this picture was hanging in their little gift shop. I could not take my eyes off it all night! I mentioned it to my husband, and he surprised me… Continue reading . . .
The one thing you will NEVER regret!
What do you regret? I have had a lot of regrets throughout my life so far – wishing I had done things differently in raising my older kids, regretting all the hours I spent trying to make money from home when my kids were little (and we were doing fine without that “extra income”), and… Continue reading . . .
A New Day: How to let go of the guilt of yesterday.
Do you feel like you just never get everything done each day? Do you long for more hours on the day? Ever wish you had done things differently, or had known then what you know now? Do you live with regrets and guilt of the “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” kind? I saw this quote today –… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: 2 Corinthians 4:18 – Fix your eyes
What are your eyes fixed on today? I’m sure you are not like me . . . struggling with the constant battle within between spirit and soul – between focusing on and believing in the promises and truth of God, versus the reality of the people, words spoken, and circumstances surrounding me. What? You… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Psalm 16 – Secure, Protected & a Delightful Inheritance!
30 x 3 W’s At the 1st of this month, I had made a decision to be more diligent in spending time with God every day. We (my “Daddy” and I) talked about it, and I felt like He was asking me to spend 30 minutes in His Word (specifically the Psalms), 30 minutes in… Continue reading . . .
She’s gonna blow!
Can I be honest and transparent with you today? Thanks! (You are always welcome to be honest and transparent with me as well!) Sat morning I didn’t respond to something very well – at all! (I know none of you can relate!). So – yesterday I was apologizing to my kids (again) – telling them… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Ephesians 2:10 – God’s Masterpiece
God’s Masterpiece I talked with you this past week about being U(nique) – about being U and being Unique. Have you thought more about it? Are you starting to be convinced that there really is something special and unique about you? I hope so. Because it’s the truth! Another aspect of that truth is this… Continue reading . . .
OK 2 Be U(nique)!
There is only one you! Did you know that? Of course you did. Do you remember when you learned about your unique fingerprints . . . or how about your one-of-a-kind DNA? I know you noticed the differences in everyone’s hair and skin color, height, width, the shape of our eyes, nose, ears, hips and… Continue reading . . .
Sunday Sip: Introduction & Proverbs 14:1
What is a “Sunday Sip” For those that didn’t know – I write another blog called Drink From the Deep. It is a place for anyone to come and find refreshing and “life-giving drinks from the well of God’s love”. I wanted to bring you guys a “sip” each week (a scripture, a word, or… Continue reading . . .
He truly can!
