Whether it’s Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday…“because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 Have a GREAT Saturday, moms….may you experience God’s faithfulness in the areas of your […]
Looking with Our Own Eyes
“Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan.” Deut 3:27 We can often look at ourselves or our children through the lenses of others. I’ve got them. You’ve got them. We’ve all got them….people in our lives who have something to […]
God’s Best or Mine? The Price of Being a Wanderer
Do your children ever wander? Maybe at Target or in the grocery store? Have you had a moment when you couldn’t see them or a moment when you could and you could plain as day tell that they were heading in the wrong direction?! Maybe your kids are older and are wandering down a path that has you concerned. We all WANDER…sometimes with good intention, other times out of ignorance or simply because WE WANT WHAT WE WANT.

I know some of you moms are needing help in some specific ways today. Will you remember this promise? “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” (Is 41:13) Sometimes the help God provides looks different from how we would provide it and we often pray that God would solve our problems according to our desires. How many times have we asked God to work His power into what we feel is best and how we want things to go? Guilty!
Because I am a Mom
When I am tired and longing to end the day by dropping my head onto the pillow, I have to remember to thank God for the gift of motherhood He has bestowed onto me…it’s now an integral part of who I am. Motherhood doesn’t completely define my identity but brings definition to how I spend my time and prioritize responsibilities. And I have responsibilities that I didn’t have before…because I am a mom.
