Encouraging moms they can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens them!
Last week we got some much needed rain. The garden was so dry! The problem is, we got just enough to make the weeds start growing too! Pesky weeds.

Literally because we have had some massive storms role through here and figuratively because I have been very, very sick. The good news? I saw through my storms, saw God and praised Him with all […]

He has risen! […]

Last week I received an email from Proverbs 31 Ministries with a list of Online Bible Studies being offered in the month of March. This came at the perfect timing since the Ladies Bible Study I was doing at church ended the week before.

It was a gorgeous day outside today here in the Carolinas. With temperatures in the 80’s (in March- crazy!!) it was a great day to play in the back yard. My daughter is now 21 months old and loves to swing, slide, ride her car, chase the dog and play with bubbles. We played with bubbles for almost an hour this […]

I just can’t take another sleepless night, I can’t take another missed nap time, I can’t make another dinner or wash another dirty dish. I can’t do another load of laundry or send another email. I can’t think about another day at work or another missed day at […]
