The past

Have you ever thought back to a moment, maybe recently, maybe a long time ago, and grimaced at yourself. Maybe it was the attitude you had. Perhaps your words were harsh or cruel or manipulative. Maybe it was everything about the situation: bad reaction, your face was loud and obnoxious. Perhaps it just highlights theContinue reading “The past”

Sharing makes your heart strong

I’ve always had an inclination to speak to people. My first speech in 7th grade English class was 30 minutes long, only halted by the ringing of the bell signaling the end of class. It was about Mount St. Helens. I wasn’t sure I’d reached the 7 minute time limit and so I just keptContinue reading “Sharing makes your heart strong”

Mom!  An egg broke on the floor and the dogs won’t eat it!

This morning began like many mornings.  “Mommy, I’m hungry.” drawn out with emphatic emphasis by my 3 year old.  So we get his choice of cereal, pour some milk, and get his favorite spoon (toddlers do these things).  He then eats one bite and then tells me he’s not hungry.  Off to play.  It’s aContinue reading “Mom!  An egg broke on the floor and the dogs won’t eat it!”

It’s Snowing!

My boys are thrilled this morning!  It is snowing for the first time this fall.  And it came down beautifully.  There are big puffy white flakes tumbling from the sky in record numbers.  They couldn’t hardly wait to get dressed and get outside.  It was a little bit of a struggle to get them out. Continue reading “It’s Snowing!”

There is nothing new under the sun

It has been happening again. Church, off and on again, most of the time without him. It breaks my heart. This morning I felt so defeated, discouraged and grieved. I understand the purpose of assembling believers together. This morning that answer was not in any way encouraging or life giving to me. I did notContinue reading “There is nothing new under the sun”

Waiting to exhale

How was my day? So glad you asked. I subbed today. Had a math teachers classroom. The kids were great. They are in the throws of another school year upended by COVID quarantines. They still did great. Today was a little respite in an otherwise busy week. Between doctor appointments, the washing machine out andContinue reading “Waiting to exhale”

Have no other before Me

Today was a good day. Something happened this evening and I’ve been struggling ever since to regain some control over the anxiety and frustration. I thought it started with my boys interrupting supper prep every 30 seconds or so to climb a countertop, come up to the hot stove, try to take supper out ofContinue reading “Have no other before Me”

Guarantor

This was the word that flashed in my mind tonight at Bible study. We’re in a Jen Wilkins study on Hebrews. It’s called Better. I have been blown away by this study. It could not have come at a more timely place in this season. I could say lots more, but I digress. In ourContinue reading “Guarantor”

A letter to my husband on Father’s Day

My dear, Happy Father’s Day! Enjoy your new bottle of hot sauce to try. Enjoy the card I had the boys color on. I hope you feel loved and respected. I want you to know that I see you. I see all you do. I see the commitment to work and provide for us. WhileContinue reading “A letter to my husband on Father’s Day”
