Last week, I sat through my church’s communion service with my 3 year old on my lap and my 5 year old next to me. Throughout the service, there were prayers, songs, and Scripture readings. My attention was divided {obviously} between engaging my mind in the service and helping my children sit still. My mind began …

your greatest support system
I intended to begin my study of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John last week. But I got a little sidetracked when I got to this verse, so I had to take a detour from the study guide and park here for a little bit. My little children, I am writing these things to you so …
your heavenly Father knows
Well, friends, this is it. This is my last week of “normal” for a few weeks. Our travels begin Friday and will take us to Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. {I wrote more about that here if you have no idea what I’m talking about.} I called a dear older friend last week & we started talking …

the most important thing a mom can do
As moms, there are a lot of demands on our time. And if you have small children like I do, then you have a lot of moments when the urgent overtakes the important. And sometimes there are two {or more!} urgent things happening at the same time. As in, dinner may be burning in the oven, but if …
why what you treasure has nothing to do with how much you spend
Treasure. It can equal riches, but it doesn’t have to. I can treasure expensive things. But I can also treasure things that are free. This truth hit me full force after I bought my $6 chair. One of my happy thoughts in buying the chair was that it was only $6 – less than a combo …
