Rules. It seems they just get in the way, sometimes, don’t they? In parenting they can be a lifesaver, but so hard to implement it seems. We want to give our children all they want and then some. We don’t want to be the bad guy and have to set boundaries most of the time. […]
When we first met our husband, we probably started out friends for a little while before dating or courting. I was friends with my man for five years before we begin to date. I think it’s fun for us all to think back on all the things we used to do before marriage or […]
Often stay-at home Moms aren’t given the benefit of the doubt. We are looked at strangely when we answer cheerfully that we like to be at home with our children. We are scoffed at by society because we may not always keep up with the latest trends. We’re even told that there is life […]
Such a short verse, but it has so much truth to it. We are warned to keep (guard or watch) our hearts (will or mind) with diligence (observance) because the issues (source) of life come from it. Our hearts fuel our thoughts and actions. If our hearts aren’t kept in check, we will […]

Wise words from the apostle Paul right here. How content are we in this day and age with anything we want at our fingertips? I would have to admit, that at times, I’m not very content. There is so much that grabs our eyes and our attention. New cars, new clothes, new tech […]
Motherhood. It’s a powerful thing. It’s messy and beautiful. It’s challenging and rewarding. It can be so delicate, yet so strong. Raising children with a purpose is not easy. We tend to see our children through our eyes. We usually see them as needy, interruptions, or nagging. Those words are harsh, but most of […]
