“Pass him! Pass him!! Pass!!! Him!!!!” I screamed louder and louder until my voice grew horse. The cross country runners were less than twenty yards from the finish line and closing and my boy was just inches from passing the runner in front of him. I knew he could take him. And he did. (Okay,…
Last year, I was driving a couple of neighbor kids to school and had an eye-opening experience. The first day, while I was scowling and muttering unkind things in the direction of the car in front of me, they commented that they had never seen me mad before. Their comment stung my heart and I…
I am exhausted. It doesn’t matter how much sleep I get, it seems like I’m always tired. I’m sure it has something to do with being a mom. It’s summer time, so my kids are home all day and they have endless amounts of energy. And somehow, they can make even the most relaxing activities…
The Bible talks about us inheriting a faith from Abraham. That we are of his “lineage”, not by blood, but because of faith. Romans 4:13 says, “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”…
I was the only mom at the pool that day. As I sat there with sweat rolling down my back, perched at the picnic table in the shade, laptop out, I thought about the differences between my childhood and that of my children. I was raised by a single mom. I say that, but I…
My son is officially a high schooler. He will be a freshman this coming school year, but I already see it. He’s friends with all the lifeguards at the pool. Random high school guys (and girls) talk to him. He took a practice test for his driving permit today. And he passed. He is ready…
Does anyone else have a love-hate relationship with summer? I love the extra time with my kids, but hate how little I get done around the house. I love spending time outdoors in the sun, but I hate the extreme heat. I love the relaxed schedule, but miss my normal routine. All of this led…
Let’s talk about Mother’s Day… If you are a woman you may or may not love this day. But, we probably all have some childhood memories of this day when we celebrated our own mothers or mom-figures. Mother’s Day is a great day to honor your mom or the mom of your life. But that doesn’t mean…
Sometimes we are seeking God with everything we have because we need Him to do something for us. Then He shows up, and brings relief. Other times, we are happily doing our own thing… and He shows up. We don’t like being inconvenienced. My Story I was born and raised in Venezuela, under a secular…
I can remember a New Year’s Eve many years ago, sprawled out across my friend Katie’s living room floor, furiously writing my list of New Year’s resolutions. I was going to eat healthy (after I finished the bowl of ice cream that melted as I wrote), I would talk back less to my parents, and…
