The grass we planted in our front yard finally begin growing. It looked so lush and green as I came walking back from the mailbox. As I came closer, it begin to look thinner and splotchy. I thought to myself that my eyes have deceived me. It looked so good from afar off. It […]
I often say that I’m not good at this mothering thing because I’m not a patient person. I find myself saying this more than I should. I tell myself over and over until I really do believe it. The truth is, that’s a lie straight from Satan. There’s a saying I heard coming up […]
Each year for as long as I can remember, I have written down goals for the upcoming year. I’ve always tried to be realistic, yet not too easy on myself. I think believers share a lot of the same goals. You know, goals for growing spiritually, trying to educate ourselves more by reading books, and […]
It’s been another challenging, yet fruitful year for our family. As always, it was a year of changes and new things, joys and sadness, and birth and loss. We have been blessed and we have grown a lot. We really have nothing to complain about. I always love to reflect back on the year and […]

I’m very honored to be writing over at Tricia Goyer’s site. If you’ve not read her stuff before, you’ll be in for a treat when you do. Hop on over and be encouraged! Mom. It’s never a title I longed for. My future plans didn’t include children, three energetic boys to be exact (9, […]
A few weeks back we had a heavy downpour of rain in a short amount of time. It sounded so loud as it hit the roof and porches of our home. When I woke up the next morning, I looked off our back porch and saw a sad sight. One of our biggest tomato […]
Life brings all sorts of struggles to our days, from the really big struggles to the tiniest struggles. We all have tough seasons of life that we go through, but the struggles may look different since not everyone goes through the same struggle at the same time. More than likely we’ll all handle the […]
