You Are Victorious

It’s easy to feel like a failure, like we’re not good enough. The day’s difficulties can at times be enough to send you into a state of being depressed. Yet, though hard days will come and circumstances will make us feel like we’ve failed, this is not the life we’re called to live. We are […]

My Heart…Depression, Suicide, Christianity and Grace

Today I wasn’t on the computer much, but when I was I was reminded of the many times that Robin Williams made me laugh. What the first movie I saw him in was, where I saw it and who I was with. That made me think of all the movies I have seen him in […]

Grace…I Need Grace…

Something that I’ve grown to realize is that I’m in need of one thing every day. Looking back over my life, I needed God’s grace throughout all of my bad choices and I’m thankful that it was always right there waiting for me. Without it I’m sure I wouldn’t be where I am today. Judgement […]

Being Real: Exhausted

Every mom has felt it…from the day our children are born we have dealt with being exhausted. I remember the day “Boo” was born, he cried the entire night and I was determined to have him stay with me and not go to the nursery. This is the perfect example of an exhausted mom from […]

You Are United

There are many times when we feel like we’re walking the roads of life alone. Like it’s just us against the world. While throughout my life I have had times I felt this way, I know that I’m not really alone. Christ’s death on the cross ensured that we would never be alone…for through and […]

Being Real: Lonely

I haven’t spent much of my life alone. I’ve been a mom since I was 19, and have only had my children spent 3 weeks away since then. Never being alone doesn’t mean you aren’t ever lonely though. I’ve been in crowded rooms and felt loneliness before. Being lonely often happens at moments you don’t […]

Her Purity, Her Husband…Her Future

As I came closer to having “the talks” with my daughter in regards to her purity, her husband and her future, I desired to help her see that purity is something special. That it is a prize she doesn’t want to let go of, one that she holds safe until her wedding day. I knew I wanted it […]

Preparing Her for Purity

This year God really laid on my heart that it was getting close to time to talk to my daughter about purity. While the very thought of having “the talk” and other important girl conversations terrifies me, I knew that if God was telling me to get ready I better get there. I decided that […]

Back to Homeschooling: Praying

As a homeschool mom there is one thing I need to do more of in both preparation for school and throughout the school year. Homeschooling is not an easy journey, it requires a level of commitment and persistence which you probably won’t find elsewhere. Praying truly is the most important tool for the homeschooling mom. […]

You Are Transformed

Upon receiving Christ and being saved we begin a journey through life on which we are being transformed. As Christians our lives have been made new, but the process of transformation is not complete. 1 John 3:2-3, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: […]
