I recently read this by Beth Moore and it ministered to me in such a big way. “Life isn’t without some divine decisions that our mortal minds simply cannot comprehend. At times, we cannot imagine why God couldn’t have just given us what we asked. Sometimes our frustration lies in the fact that we know He [...]

Becoming A Little More Intentional.
As a Christ-follower and mother, my children are my most important mission field. I do my darndest to disciple them in the day to day life stuff. However, God is showing me to become more intentional with how I pray and disciple them. Right now, I am intentionally praying for John Henry to grow in [...]

For The Lack of A Clever Title, We’ll Call This One “Easter.”
The Lord knows I’m too tired to write anything coherent and too sugared up to be taken seriously. Of course, that’s never stopped me before. We made a quick trip to Georgia to spend Easter weekend with family. Upon my arrival, I was bombarded by this monster that I apparently created. He is my dad. [...]

I love to feel how small her hand is in mine.
I love bedtime with my children. For one, they are going to bed. Praise all ye heavenly hosts. And, for two, it often serves as a catalyst for some sweet exchanges. A couple of nights ago, I tucked Anna in. I read her a book of her choice. And, then we talked about what it [...]

All For Love.
When Kris asked for my hand in marriage, my dad agreed to oblige on three conditions. He told him: 1 – Don’t ever hit her. 2 – Don’t ever hurt her. 3 – And, never let her cut grass. It’s true. I’ve never cut grass. Ever. In my life. And, quite frankly, I’m okay with [...]

I Am So Weak.
Sometimes I feel that I need to put on a happy face, quote the right scriptures, and say all of the things a follower of Christ is expected to say. I feel I have to be tough – because, of who I am in Him. But, I don’t have to always be tough. You don’t [...]

At First He Was Afraid, He Was Petrified.
We have this fish tank. As of recent, it’s become so ghastly that I dare not post any photo of it. Else, you might see how we really live and judge me accordingly. Which, if you ask John Henry, he’ll tell you “the Bible says not to judge.” So there. There is one lone fish [...]

Let Them Eat Cake.
This blog is officially one year old. Okay, one year and two days, but I figured you didn’t want to celebrate the BIG BLOG BASH on your very coveted Saturday. I certainly didn’t want to give up my laundry and trip to the Red Carpet Car Wash. So, here’s the celebration, folks. Let’s party. I [...]

She Can’t “Tuch” This.
John Henry left a note for his little sister on his bedroom wall. It’s taped above his skateboard and reads, “No Anna you cannot tuch it my skatebord X.” I can only imagine that the “X” at the end means he isn’t playin’ around. These kids. They make me smile. X, Dusty
