My hope is that when you visit my blog you’ll be encouraged in your walk with the Lord, maybe learn something new in homemaking or homeschooling, or just see what we’ve been up to as a family.

  • Thorns

    “Of such an one will I glory: yet of, myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth; but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to Continue reading

  • In all things

    Give thanks in everything… this is the will of God for the Christian. I love it when the Bible is clear about what pleases God. I have I love/hate relationship with rules. I have a natural rebellious streak in me, just ask my mom about my teen years. So, for me, being told what to Continue reading

  • Compromise

    My writing set-up What do you think of when you hear compromise? I don’t know about you but for me compromise seems to have more cons than pros connected to it. When I think of compromise, I think first of the common giving and taking involved in relationships. I’ve taught my children about the concept Continue reading

  • Monday Motivation

    Whether you read this on a Monday or not I hope to leave you with a dash of motivation for your day. In almost every mom group I’ve been in I’ve heard it said that waking up before the children is the only path to sanity. Women wake up at 5 or even 4 AM Continue reading

  • The importance of friends

    I know I write about friendship a lot but, man, they’re so important in life. My earliest memories involve friends. My best friend growing up was named, Erin. She and I did so much together. I confided in her, laughed with her, cried with her, fought with her. We did it all and that relationship Continue reading

  • When life gives you lemons

    ..Sometimes you just have to eat the lemon. Sometimes you can make lemonade. In both instances you can have a thankful attitude. When I hear that phrase, ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,’ I picture some hippy just throwing up the peace sign and acting like life is an ocean, and we’re all just Continue reading

  • Pondering

    In Luke 2:19 the Bible says, “But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.” This verse follows the birth of Jesus, when the shepherds had come to pay their respects and see the Savior of the world in the helpless shape of a sweet baby in the manger. As a mother, Continue reading

  • Should we celebrate?

    Reformation Day. The story goes that Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany denouncing the Catholic Church and went on to reform the church. I read through the 95 thesis and I would advise everyone to read through Luther’s objection. Luther’s main objection was against the abuse Continue reading
