Moms are amazing. I spent the last three days with about 2,000 of them at the National MOPS convention at the Gaylord in Dallas, Texas...and it was simply marvy! These ladies work diligently all year long to be supportive and provide wisdom to moms all over the world through their own MOPS groups. When I had preschoolers I attended MOPS and as they grew older I was invited to speak at several – if you have preschoolers and are not part … [Read more...]

Conversation Starters for Date Night
I am still at the MOPS convention in Dallas and am quite tired from talking to moms all day long! I am also being inspired by their heart to serve others!

Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Reader Comment = Tears
I am weeping...God truly can use the unqualified for His purposes! Jacki shared this with me tonight... Tracy, I’m typing this with one hand as I nurse my fourth child who is four weeks old.

This too shall pass!”) I got teary eyed as I heard you describe that … [Read more...]
Gratitude and MOPS Convention
I am beyond filled with gratitude to the Lord for His goodness and to so many of you for your encouraging words!

From Ugly To Holy
I was fuming. Smoke emitting from my ears. Teeth clinched. Eyes narrowed. I have confessed that I can be “ugly” – well, ugly was rearing its...ugly head. (There’s no better way to say that.)
