I’ve been a parent for twelve years now, and in that time have made all kinds of mistakes. I’m sure I’ll make loads more before it’s all said and done. There are several lies about being a mom that I realize I’ve believed over the years that have contributed to those mistakes, some of which…
I was ready to give up. My head hurts so bad. I started counting the cost. Not just the cost, but the worth. I begged the hospital staff to let me go because my family needed me. But then I got home and my head hurt so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. I…
We need a lot of things in this life. That is not a secret. Let’s be honest. We have needs. Personally, I think women have more needs than men. LOL, but that is for another discussion. However, not every need will be met. And because of that, we don’t always understand why. A lot of…
Have you ever wondered how to trust in Jesus when everything is falling apart? Sometimes we cling to Him when the going gets tough, and sometimes we wonder how things got so far out of control. That’s where this week found me. I’ve been trying to memorize Psalm 62:2 for the past couple of days,…
I’ve been lazy before. Not the “I should probably get up and work but it’s been a busy day and I’m going to play board games with the kids instead” lazy. The sinful, procrastinating, anxiety-provoked and provoking, let-down-your-friends-and-miss-deadlines lazy. There! I said it out loud. And it wasn’t a short-lived lazy either. As a teenager,…
Disclosure: This post contains sponsored and affiliate links I have gained seventy pounds since my 30th birthday. Seventy. Pounds. That doubled my pants size. Literally. After the first thirty or forty pounds, my doctor assured me it was normal for women in their thirties. Not that that made me feel any better. In fact, the…
I am a Christian with a temper. Yes, it’s possible to love Jesus and still have anger issues. I’d like to share my journey with anger for other hot-headed Christians hiding out there. With God’s help, I’m learning to apply His anger management plan, make better choices, and live in peace. I’m here to tell…
A new year is upon us. It’s full of new possibilities and new life. The old is gone and the new has come. It’s a new day. The past few years have been full of new challenges for our family, but one thing has been abundantly clear: God can use any situation, no matter how…
Housekeeping is not my forte. It never has been. I have friends who are household rock stars. They are the perfect embodiment of the Proverbs 31 woman. But I am not that woman. Back when I was a single mom with just one child, I could keep up pretty good… most of the time. Let’s…
My stolen car and the way the experience has rippled through my life. An open letter written by Jessica Schneider to the guy who stole her car.
Do you ever feel like you have no one to talk to? Like no one could possibly understand what you are going through or how you are feeling? That’s where I’ve been this week. There are things going on that I simply can’t discuss on the internet. Not because I don’t want to be candid,…
I am reading through the Bible chronologically this year with some other ladies online. Today we started the book of Job. Can I just say, I love the book of Job? Does that make me weird? I know it’s not the most popular book in the Bible, but I think it’s just misunderstood.
