The Precious Things They Say (Plus A Recipe)

The beginning of this post is to share of utter doom and failure. Okay, it isn’t the end of the world but I have a confession: I lied and broke trust with my kids. No, it’s not about the tooth fairy or Santa (although, the 7 year old is still a believer). However, it is……

This Mother’s Prayer

I read somewhere on social media saying that mothers who are young write about parenting techniques and mothers who have grown children write books on prayer. This got me thinking that I don’t have any tried and true techniques myself, as a mother of five…all I know is I try to build fellowship and connection……

Looking Upon Jesus

I lay in the stillness…baby asleep and my body is aching. Co-sleeping, 2 years in. I have been doing pregnancy, baby stages and motherhood for eleven years. My oldest is ten. Pregnancy with her and all subsequent pregnancies were really “a breeze”. I had the exhaustion and hormonal changes that took me for a ride,……

Lo, I Am With You Always

Day Seven–SUNDAY In the Book of the Bible, Matthew chapter 28 verse 20, Jesus talks to his disciples giving them a mandate: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” My ultimate dream scene would be me……

Where to Refresh

“God is our refuge and strength” are penned in Psalm chapter 46 verse 1… In the International Children’s Version written for easy understanding it says: God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble. Where is a mom of five to go to renew and refresh? Shall I grab a……

Be Steadfast as He is Steadfast

Lamentations 3:22-23 22The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]    his mercies never come to an end;23 they are new every morning;    great is your faithfulness. I’ve lost count of my nights of restlessness and lack of sleep, but what I can tell you is God has been my source of joy. Waking up these last few months, we’d stare out……

Worry Not About What You Will Wear

In Matthew chapter six, you will find these words in the New International Version: 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God……

Operate Out of His Goodness

Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” My eyes squinted open, hesitant to face the morning. I had already been woken up twice in……

Running on Little Sleep

I do believe I have slept an average of six hours a night for the last two weeks with an occasional nine hour night plus a couple of days with naps. I favor 8 hours or more! Mama likes her sleep! haha. I am tired. I’m worn. Mama needs to recharge. The scence last night……

Glory in the Unglam

I ran into the room so baby boy could not catch up and come get me… No, I wasn’t playing. I was hiding and not wanting to be found. *just for a few minutes* I heard the door unlock and my stomach knots tighten, my face turns hot and my breaths shorted. My husband had……
