Be still…

Have you ever volunteered to help somebody with a project…maybe they were moving…maybe they had some sort of damage to their home…something that required all hands on deck, so to speak?  Have you ever showed up to help and found that there were so many people there to help that you didn’t really know what [...]

With Love

Let all that you do be done with love. – 1 Corinthians 16:14
This is something I struggle with…doing things with love.  I tend to do things because I have to…or feel obligated…or just want to keep the peace.  So, I do things…but not always with love.  More like with resentment, bitterness, anger and just a [...]

Words from Emily and Ella

Emily
Upon seeing the dead roses in the trash can…
Oh, bless their hearts, they’re all dead now.
~~~~~~~~~
After I yelled at her for not getting into the carseat…
Mommy, remember when you yelled at me last time and then had to say you were sorry?  I’m just sayin’…
~~~~~~~~
After her teacher was writing down something sweet Emily had said [...]

Mutual Encouragement

We live in a world that almost encourages isolation. We get so caught up in our own lives and activities that friendships often fall by the wayside. Women are very susceptible to this and we often find ourselves feeling alone…not only in our pain, but in our joy as well. Women need other women. We [...]

For as long as I can remember…I have loved Jesus.  Before I could fully understand the sacrifice…I was in love with the Savior.  Yet, nothing I have felt in the past can compare with the adoration I feel for Him now. 
I do not think I can even comprehend the pit that God pulled me out [...]

Longing for His Presence…

There are some moments that, even as you live them, you know that you will just never be the same…sometimes it is for the better…sometimes not…but you know that you will never get over that experience.
That is how the last two nights have been for me.  For two evenings, I looked into the eyes of [...]

Able and Willing

So often, I find myself amazed with the awesome power of our God…and rightly so.  We serve an amazing, all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipotent and omnipresent God. 
However, when I read these verses…I found myself in awe of, not the ability of God, but the willingness of God…the willingness to have compassion on us and cleanse us as only [...]

Protect them from the evil one…

My girls are growing up.  No matter how many times I ask Emily to just be my baby again…it’s not going to happen.  In her words..I would, Mommy, but I don’t know how to get back in your belly…I’m too big to fit back in your mouth.  Apparently, she thinks I just spewed her out [...]
