Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. There are some weeks when it seems like every productive thing I had planned went up in smoke. I had one of those weeks this past week where nothing I planned went right. It can be frustrating when it happens for a day, but it can be disheartening when it looks like…
In my last blog post, Reading Your Bible vs. Studying Your Bible, I talked about how I let life get the better of me and stopped reading my Bible daily like I had been. One of the excuses I used was that we had just moved and I had put my study Bible in a box that I thought was…
I wouldn’t necessarily say that studying the Bible on my own and actually fully understanding it is one of my strengths. I have heard people teach an entire lesson based off of one verse and wished that I had the knowledge and wisdom of the Bible like they did. How did that read a part of the Bible and get…
Have you ever felt guilty for getting annoyed by your child? I have. And I sure hope that I’m not alone in this. Don’t get me wrong, I love my son with every fiber of my being. He is my heart. He is my world. But sometimes, he makes me want to scream. That’s actually what first inspired this post…

Moms do a lot for the family and I know first hand that it may be hard to just stop and take a few minutes for yourself. It seems like any time that I want to take a break and do something to unwind, the kid needs me & I’m right back on mom duty. My husband is more than…
I mentioned before in my post Faith Over Fear: 10 Ways to be a Stay at Home Mom that if you’re in God’s will, He’ll take care of you. Trusting that God will take care of you is easier said than done. I used to constantly check our bank account and would have little anxiety attacks if I didn’t…
