Lice Nightmare
Last night I was minding my own business, happily watching The Office with my son and husband when all of the sudden I broke out into a cold sweat and my heart started racing. I think I may have even been mumbling incoherently - eyes glazed over. I was propelled back in time to a particularly stressful event as a mom, lean in close here - I am going to need to whisper, "it was that time, when my sweet little five year old girl, with the long, … [Read more...]
One Word
For the past few years I have been choosing "one word365" or "my one word" to focus on each year - if you didn't know this is a running trend. My amazing friend Melanie over at Only A Breath made me (and will make you) a button if you would like to choose your "one word" as well! I must say the interesting thing in this process has been how God will provide the word if you are prayerful... and quiet long enough to hear it. And interestingly … [Read more...]
Broken Boy Hope
(Friends, I wrote this post over CHRISTmas, but because I had made the choice not to blog over the break it has been sitting in my computer...but I feel compelled to share it as I feel someone needs the assurance of the encouragement it provides. And I really want to know the answer to the question I pose at the end!) I am sitting in a hospital recovery room, eyes affixed on my sixteen year old son who is recovering from surgery. I sit here … [Read more...]
CHRISTmas break!
Remember when you were in school and you always wished Thanksgiving Break would mark the end of the school year? Who the heck wants to go back to school and try to concentrate during the month of December when all you can think about is CHRISTmas break! I mean really...who made the school day calendar anyway. NOT ME!!! BUT I do make the BLOGDAY calendar. And mine says...spend time with your family and encourage all those other … [Read more...]
It Is Not My Fault – Big Fat Liar
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. I have heard that little mantra my whole life and have seen the cute photos of people (and monkeys) with their hands over their eyes, ears and mouth – I always thought that was a great word picture. Psalm 101 points out this truth and goes one further, reminding us to protect our hearts as well and avoid the evil of pride. So often in life we can get caught up in the “evil moment” and find our … [Read more...]
Dizzy Mom Exhaustion Phenom
For well over a year I have spent much time trying to determine direction and purpose. Honestly I think that’s something we all do on a continuum, but the tricky part is remaining true to who God has called you to be and living with contentment as you seek. I have to say it is way awesome when I can hear God above all the noise. When I am paying attention He keeps me ever humble if my thoughts and words get me into trouble as I am seeking and … [Read more...]
Heart Attack Mom?
Are there days where you suffer from heart attack? When your attitudes and actions turn to self, rather than God and others? *heavy sigh* I admit, it happens to me. A prayer I have prayed since I was a child, when compared to the condition of my heart on some days recently gave me clear understanding of right thinking vs. wrong thinking. Join me over at MomLife Today and learn more about my heart attack condition. … [Read more...]
Doldrums Slayer
There are days when I can get sort of down in the dumps. You? Sometimes it is because “the news” is draggin me down and sometimes it is because “my news” is giving me the doldrums. Discussing “the news” with you would just be exhausting and I don’t even want to go there. But discussing “my news” is something you can probably relate to if you too have some “just life” stuff that can make your days a challenge! You know, the little … [Read more...]
