I generally assume the devil is in the details of life – quite literally. If I’m having a bad day, I assume that it is because the devil is working to drag me down to his miserable space. If someone doesn’t respond the way I expect (with sound reason) I assume the devil is testing […]
Day 10: No Place to Go
I’ve always been highly driven. Every personality test reveals the layers of ambition, drive, my quest for perfection and attention to detail. While this means that I’ve been able to do a lot that I set out to do, it also means that I do much of it with a sense of urgency and rush. […]
Day 9: He is With Me
Let’s just stop for a moment and think about God. He’s pretty incredible, huh? The more we stop and meditate on Him, the more His wonderous qualities shine to light. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, sovereign, holy, majestic, and FULL of glory. But you know what else? He is with you, and He’s with me. Let’s […]
Slow & Steady
Parenting. This is the very definition of slow and steady work. Can I get an amen momma?? Training up a child isn’t something that we can accomplish over a weekend, or while they are away at summer camp. There is no cute pin just waiting for us to be found on Pinterest that will give […]
Lessons From Our Mothers
Whether you grew up a worried little child or an independent little cuss, your mother was instilling lessons in you from the beginning. How our mother’s handled situations stuck with us, and we are more than likely a reflection of her as we navigate our own situations as moms today. Whether your mom cursed when […]
Blindsided
I’m sure we can all agree. Motherhood is a joy. Yet, I can (and I write this because I’m sure we ALL do) get blindsided by seemingly harmless lies the world tells us about motherhood. One place I see this happening all too often is when talking to other mothers – where the topic of […]
An Incomprehensible Plan
We (I should say I) often think I have all the answers. Or that if I don’t right now, I can figure it out on my own. I may not actually vocalize this to others, especially not to God – but actions show it to be how I act most of the time. There are […]
This Present Guilt
We all do it. We leave the house in the morning and head off to work. Whether work is at an office, or on your computer at a coffee shop or anywhere else. We sit down to start pouring into our work – BUT first, we think of what we left behind or dropped off […]
OUR THREE ENEMIES
We all face three enemies on a daily basis. The world. The flesh. The devil. When I have days that I want to point the enemy finger at my baby, when he’s fussy because he hasn’t napped all day and just wants to be held as I’m trying desperately to get some work around the […]
A Glowing Look
Do you ever notice that some people just radiate beauty? They just glow without even saying a word. And while their makeup might be on point, it is not just their outward look that is giving them this glow. It’s something deeper. I want that glow. I want that glow to be from spending time […]
