I get frustrated. Mad. Sometimes yell. Parenting is hard! I am amazed at how crazy I can get when a child of mine does something absolutely stupid! (Am I supposed to use the word stupid even though my children can't?) I do things that I never thought were possible all out of shear frustration. Can you relate? If you are a mom to a ...

So Much To Tell You: Message #3
Today is the conclusion of the four day series, "So Much to Tell You." If you missed the beginning post, please go back and read Day 1. Looking back over this series, I feel like a science experiment: Day #1 - Houston, we have a problem. Day #2 - Recognize the problem, unable to find solution Day #3 - Solution is found Day #4 - ...
So Much to Tell You: Message #2
If you haven't read the beginning of this blog series, please go back so that you understand the need I had for the messages. I longed for the other side but for some reason found myself unable to obtain it. The worst part of it, I didn't know what was holding me back. Why was I so drawn to the computer, to my mommy drug, which allowed me ...
So Much to Tell You: Message #1
Yesterday I handed you the key to my journal. I gave you full access to a gross truth of my life. If you missed yesterday's post, please go back and read to understand the background for Message #1. Message #1 was found in a Facebook post and in Kevin Leman's new book It's Your Kid Not a Gerbil. Hopefully you read my review about this book and ...
So Much to Tell You
Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself. I seriously have thought how wonderful it would be to have a computer hooked to my brain so that all I had to do was think it, and it would type up the document. (Might be scary to see in writing some of the ...

What is it Going to Take?
Some of the reason why my stress level is elevated has to do with our third blessing. This precious three-year-old is absolutely adorable. (There is a reason why God made him so cute.) But Little Man is trying every patient strand that I have left. Here's some background: If you have followed this blog long, you know that Bubs (our eldest ...
Okay..I Admit It
Here goes nothing. "I am stressed." There. I said it. Now the hundreds of you who read this blog each day know that Momma C is stressed. Oh, I said it again. Would saying "I am stressed" one more time make it a charm? I spent this past weekend thinking, praying, discussing this issue with my husband. While I can feel the tension ...
But I am a Martha….
The story of Mary and Martha used to make me mad. It wasn't fair and I couldn't see how Martha did anything wrong. Seriously...up until college I questioned Jesus because Mary did not help Martha. (Is my lion personality coming out strong or what?) In college I realized that it was about the focus. What was important at that moment. Read ...
