Nurturing Love Mother’s Day is tomorrow, so Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, or women who fill the role of mother in someone’s life. I am blessed to be a mother to three amazing children. I don’t know why God chose me to be their mom, but I’m so grateful…
Clean Up the Mess We had my youngest child’s birthday party yesterday. I have little time to keep up on housework, so you can imagine what the 24 hours leading up to it was like at my house. If you’re anything like me, you may recognize “the general” that appears handing out tasks and commands…
Swing the Bat It’s baseball season, and I am a fan of America’s National Pastime (Go Cardinals!). My son had his first baseball tournament of the year this past weekend. He’s on a 10U team (also the Cardinals), so there’s obviously a lot of improvement and education to be had at this point. However, he…

I Am Too Busy While working on my blog this week, I started two posts with very different topics but ended up stalling and leaving both unfinished for the time being. I think there was a reason for this; God was telling me He had another direction for my weekly blog. I really struggled this…
Don’t Be a Hypocrite I have heard people say they don’t attend church or don’t believe in organized religion because they feel most Christians act worse than they themselves do. Many feel it’s hypocritical that they are preached to and told they are doing wrong and must repent of their sins by those who call…
Time is a Thief I turned 38 years old today. Thirty-eight years! When my mom was 38, I was a 19-year-old college sophomore who thought of 38 as old and uncool. Now, here I am with a 17-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son who both think I’m old and “sus,” as they like to say. I…
