I meet many different kinds of people and I’m sure you do too. And it’s no surprise to you that not everyone has a flowery life…a life that looks beautiful, smells wonderful, and is vibrant and full of beauty. And while no one has a perfectly blooming life, some have more hope than others. And […]
Catching Glimmers of Love
To catch the glimmer in their eyes fills this mama-heart right up. As they play, and laugh, and sing and learn…as they twirl and dance and show me their best work. I catch the glimmer, and their smiles melt me.. And I close my eyes, and wish for the moments never to pass. How great […]
Bible in 90 Days {Finish}
I sat on the couch at 11pm last Saturday night, reading the last of the words on page 1688… Revelation 22:17 (NIV) “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” …and the emotion welled […]
Seeing the Gifts
Perspective is everything, and seeing is only for those who are willing to look. And for a long time I didn’t really see the gifts that were from Him. In my self-centered world I focused on what wasn’t, and missed them before my very eyes…His generous gifts. Gifts from His heart to mine…the ones He […]
Ordinarily Extraordinary!
I am ordinary… I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend… An encourager, a cheerleader, a cleaner, a chauffeur, a writer, …and a dreamer among other things. I have little to credit to my name I have not written a book I have not spoken to thousands And hardly anyone knows my name I […]
Perfectionistic Tendencies
I walked in the door and was shockingly reminded of the mess I had left behind… Dust footprints now on the wood floor that was mopped just two days ago, Laundry begging to be started, A mess all over the kitchen counter…cereal bowls, crayons, toys… Nothing but peanut butter in the pantry for lunch, Toys […]
The Path of Life
Sundays are for seeing His path and for walking joyfully with Him… May you experience, this day, all the joy and pleasure that can only be found in walking the path He has for you, is my prayer… What joys have you been experiencing on your path?
Homeschooling 2011-2012 MFW-ECC {Our Classroom}
Well this is my first year homeschooling, and we have reached the end of our very first month! And although this will take some getting used to, and much learning along the way for all of us, we are having a marvelous time! I am so very blessed to be using My Father’s World Curriculum, Exploring […]
Marathons and Fears
I sit in the stillness of the midnight hour, and this house is finally still. And it is only in the wee hours when my body should be sleeping that I find it like this, me sitting here in the aftermath of another day. And I’m running a marathon that has no end. There are […]
Trading Poverty for Wealth…One Verse at a Time
The morning sun gleamed through the wood shutters as I settled myself into my regular spot on the couch, the spot I’ve grown familiar with…the place where we meet…where I read and I talk, and listen and ponder and grow. This, a daily privilege I enjoy, just me alone with Him, in this place…the place […]
