"It's Amazing What a Prayer Can Do." This is a line from one of my favorite songs and a truth I have witnessed over and over again. Another lyric from a different song says, "When I can see no way, He makes a way." These thoughts reflect my heart full of praise for a recent … Continue reading Amazing

Longsuffering
II Peter 3:9 Sunday was Little Bit's Birthday!! We didn't have a huge party this year, but it was still a very exciting and exhausting day for a seven-year-old: two church services, all the presents, all the cake, all the playing... So, Monday morning was not so exciting. The tired Birthday Princess definitely woke up … Continue reading Longsuffering
Decisions
"...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." from Joshua 24:15 Sometimes I suffer from decision overload (it's a real thing...). Mama life is so full of decisions on top of the ones I've always had to make for myself anyway, that I have moments when I cannot make another rational … Continue reading Decisions
Rest For My Soul
Some people can sleep just a few hours per night and wake up fresh as a daisy, ready to face the day. I am not one of those people. At all. I've tried to be. I want to be able to stay up late, get up early, and get a lot done, but it backfires … Continue reading Rest For My Soul

Blessed Beyond Measure

I don't know if the problem is more with my expectations, the selections available, or my refusal to pay ridiculous prices … Continue reading Blessed Beyond Measure
Backseat Driver
True Story: I am a horrible passenger. I donât mean to be, but I seriously do not feel safe sitting close to the white line! I donât know if itâs an anxiety thing or something with my perception, but I feel like Iâm about to land in the ditch most of the time (Surely itâs … Continue reading Backseat Driver
Intention
I've been pondering on the phrase, "living intentionally." I've heard it in passing, from various sources, and have taken it to just mean thinking about what you're doing and having a reason for doing it. And that totally makes sense, but I don't recall hearing the phrase mentioned in relation to living for the Lord. … Continue reading Intention
Christmas in July (or August)
Little Bit is not the most patient little girl (I guess thatâs just part of being a kid). If weâre in the car for ten minutes, itâs the classic, âAre we there yet?â or her refrain, âItâs a long way!â Both said in the most pitiful, whining voice imaginable. And forget about taking the opportunity … Continue reading Christmas in July (or August)
Peace
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:7 I struggled with writing this post because I didnât really want to talk about sad things, but I need to add a little bit to what I shared last time. I briefly mentioned tragedies in general, … Continue reading Peace
