Yesterday, I invited you into my world of creating my own New Year Resolutions...I mean goals. I was excited to find an article by Joan Esherick entitled "Resolution Solutions: 6 Great Ways to Make Your Goals Stick". In the article she lists six suggestions to turn impossible into possible. Be specific Be ...

Turning Impossible Into Possible, Part 1
With the New Year here, I - like most everyone - think about the past and the future. What did I like about 2010? What do I want to change to make 2011 better. I started making a mental list of resolutions for this year. At #10, I knew that it wasn't going to happen. Great resolutions but totally ...
A Friend
I have blogged several times about the importance of having godly women in your life. God made us relational for a reason. To be able to grow and stay strong as a mom, we need the support and love a friend can give. I found this poem several years ago and wanted to share. A friend is one who STRENGHTENS you with prayers, BLESSES you with love, ...
Keep the Most Important Thing, the Most Important Thing
Our pastor made this the opening quote of his message. Ponder it with me... "The most important thing about you is what you think about when you think about God." Taken from A.W. Tozer's book The Pursuit of God. ...
It’s No Secret…
It's no secret that this Momma doesn't enjoy being pregnant. Probably because I have so few days that I feel good. Between kidney stones, ribs out of place, morning sickness...don't forget the fatigue and my mind being gone...what a mess. Now I find myself at the end of this long journey with just a few days to go. I can't sleep. I look in the ...
God’s Rainbow
Today has been an emotional day. Nothing has happened really out of the ordinary. Just filled with various emotions. As I have blogged before, this has not been an easy pregnancy. But as I come to the end, the fatigue, questions, and unknown can really get to a person. While studying Isaiah, I realize that the fears that I have are not from ...
Sin is Not Cute
I looked out my kitchen window the other day to see Little Man doing something that he isn't supposed to do. I stepped outside and told him to come here, which he disobeyed. Daddy took over for me at that point. From the kitchen window again, I saw a crying little 2-year-old trying to reason with his Daddy about why he shouldn't be in trouble. ...
It is Not….
This week, I am focusing on the "home" aspect of being a wife and mom. The struggle to get it all done while still focusing on those that are important. Here are two quotes that I recently heard: It is not how much we do but how much love we put into it. M. S. It is not how much we give but how much love we put into what we ...
God’s Concerns
This week, I am focusing on the "home" aspect of being a wife and mom. The struggle to get it all done while still focusing on those that are important. I cut this out from an unknown source while I was in college. I have tweaked it for moms. God is not concerned with how clean my floor is, how many dishes are on the ...
Go to the Source
After a rough night of pregnancy, I woke up pretty discouraged and worn down. Although I am thankful for the process and feel very blessed, I don't enjoy the nine months that precede holding our brand new baby in my arms. For some reason God chose for our children to be born half grown which causes for a very large momma (what I call a ...
