I had planned to write a post today about something God was teaching me. Instead I chose to answer some emails and comments that have come in from moms who have read my book or listened to my interviews on the radio. God is stirring in many mom hearts and that leaves me in awe of Him and His divine purposes. God is great, God is good and I thank Him. Have a blessed weekend friends. … [Read more...]
How Boys Grow into Men
What I wanted to say was, “That’s too hard, cut him some slack.” What I did say was, nothing. But MAN was it hard to bite my tongue. That’s my little boy he’s talking to. (As in 6’1” and 220 pounds…”little” but he is my little boy.) Such were my thoughts at the beginning of the summer when my husband told my sixteen year old son what was expected of him this summer. Join me at MomLifeToday to read the rest of the story... … [Read more...]
Random Observations
Time flies when you are hearing truth. A couple days with little time in front of a computer is a beautiful thing. Prayer lifted up together for others is somehow sweeter. Conversations with people you haven’t bumped into in a while brings much happiness! Cold, cold, cold water, quenching my thirst...is the best ever. My sons smile...melts my mom heart. God truly gifts some with amazing talents and witnessing their obedient and … [Read more...]
Moms Of Boys Reality
The little boy I have cuddled with, zoomed cars with and built towers tall with is no longer a little boy, he is a young man who now towers over me. His sixteen year old boyish grin is outlined by a scruffy beard, his shoulders are broad, his voice deep – yet still filled with kind compassion as he reveals snip-its of his day with me. He has always been so willing to share his thoughts. Someday he will have a wife who will be blessed by his … [Read more...]
Dizzy Kids A Real Danger
Are your kids a bit too dizzy? It happens you know. At least, it happens to my kids! When the world begins to revolve around them and their wants and needs being met. All that world spinning leads to dizzy, which leads to a real danger for your kids – and every person who will be a part of their lives, like...forever. I get it. I have done it. I know all the reasons. It’s easier to keep the peace if you just give them … [Read more...]
RandoMOM Observations
Hiking when it’s over 100 degrees is exhilarating, in a totally drenched in sweat sort of way. Dead leaves on my trees makes me sad. When my husband calls and says, “How you doin?” (in a Joey from friends sort of way) it still makes me giggle and swoon! When you invite a group of women to your home for “tea” you learn some things - like even though I am a southern lady...I really am a simple country girl...and I am … [Read more...]
Phooey on Tight Schedules
If you are an anal retentitve list keeper that must get lots accomplished to feel happy and secure - you may want to close your eyes, or click away, or be prepared to start laughing. This is not your kinda post - but then again, maybe that's exactly why you should keep reading. You see, I am guest posting over at Family Matters Blog and as a recovering Busy Mom myself - I decided to share my "take" on summer time schedules. Or should a say … [Read more...]
Faith Is More Than Believing
It isn’t easy being a follower of Christ. That seems like a negative statement, but it is far from untrue. My Grandmama consistently told me that the most important thing is to love like Jesus. Some people are hard to love. Sometimes, some people in my own family tree are hard to love. A-hem, sometimes I am hard to love. And guess what – so are you! It is our human condition to be self seeking – to see the world and those around us … [Read more...]
Widows Voice
Are you weary today? I know you have had lots of “to do’s” - that is a given for any mom. Has it been a long week of caring for the needs of your family and the endless upkeep of your home? Did you have those MOMents were you just wanted to scream and run away? The frustration, the unending needs, the having so much to do that you didn’t have time to even take a breath. I met someone today...a mom, who is alone with her children. Her … [Read more...]
Face-Plant Teaches Life Lesson
I have been told pain has memory - physical pain and emotional pain. As I have wrestled with the unexpected "bobbles" and "wrecks" while working towards a dream, I recently found myself propelled back in time to a memory of a wreck that is seared into my brain. Suddenly the world was upside down and I found myself launched head over heals, soaring over the handlebars of my bike. Confused and broken hearted as my dream was literally crashing … [Read more...]
