Isn’t it funny how so often, when we’re trying to teach our kids a lesson, they teach us one too? I realized last night, while teaching some very precious children at church, that we don’t have to have the perfect words when we pray. We don’t always have to know what we need to pray… Continue reading Faith Like A Child

It’s time to stop comparing. We have to stop comparing ourselves to one another.  We have to stop looking at that person over there and wishing we were more like them.  We have to stop trying to look or act like others because we think that’s what will make us happy.  We have to stop. … Continue reading It’s Time To Stop Comparing

Well, it’s here. The beginning of a new school year... And my attitude is just awful.  I hate the start of school. I always dread it for many reasons.  I like my kids at home with me.  I like not having a set bedtime.  I like not having homework.  I like not getting up early… Continue reading Attitude Adjustment

The newness of you.  The baby smell.  Not wanting to put you down.  The feedings in the night, and afterwards, you falling fast asleep on my shoulder.  Thank you Lord for this season.  I don’t want it to end.  Trying new foods.  Hearing you say, “Mama.” Watching you take your first steps.  Reading your favorite… Continue reading Thank You Lord For This Season

“Mom, isn’t a parent’s main responsibility to make sure their kids are always happy?”   This was the question my little girl asked me as she was getting ready for bed.  I told her that parents love to see their kids happy, but that wasn’t their main responsibility.  I told her that my main responsibility as… Continue reading Sweet Girl, I Won’t Always Make You Happy

I’ve been thinking a lot about perfection. And I can’t think of one way that looking or acting perfect is in line with God’s plan for our lives. Our purpose from which everything else stems is to love God and love others. Looking or acting perfect does not demonstrate our love to the One who… Continue reading Searching For Imperfection

This Sunday, August 4th at 6:00 we are meeting at our church to divide into groups, and travel to different schools in the county to walk around the campus and pray for the upcoming school year.  The beginning of a new school year brings excitement, but it can also bring worry.  Worry over the safety… Continue reading Back To School

The day has just begun, but you’re already tired.  Your mind races as you think about all the things you have to do today.  Maybe you’re stressed over decisions that need to be made.  Maybe you’re exhausted from your kids needing every ounce of you. Maybe you have so much work to do, and feel… Continue reading God’s Plan For Your Life Starts Today

You will have the opportunity to be kind to someone today.  A lot of times we make excuses about not knowing God’s plan for us.  But he has plans for us throughout the Bible that He makes clear.  He plans for us to love Him and love others. Mark 12:30-31 He plans for us to… Continue reading Kindness Opens Doors

Not too long ago, I had the opportunity to join a group on Facebook made up of writers. These writers are phenomenal! Their stories are amazing.  Their hearts are gold.  But God convicted me the other day.  I had read a story from one of the writers. I began looking at her page and noticed how… Continue reading Comparison
