A place for Christian moms to call home and be called back to home…
In a day and age when families are so far apart and Sunday dinners together don’t happen like they used to because of divorce, hurts, deaths or location
If you think Mary Magdalene can’t be changed into Queen Esther, you don’t know who Jesus is. Yesterday we went to place in a town we normally don’t venture through. As soon as we got there, I saw a man from my past with whom I got pregnant from and had an abortion with. My heart stopped for a moment when I saw him, and he saw me. He was with a woman. I was with my husband and children. He smiled. I smiled. Then, I looked away. Thank God my family and I proceeded to move to another area because I really was so clouded in that instance. The whole encounter happened so fast. All of a sudden, there I was- caught in between “then” and “now”. Continue reading “Mary Magdalene Turned Queen Esther (follow-up from “My Abortion” blogpost)”
As some know, I had an abortion when I was 22-yrs-old. I was not a believer, so my decisions were based on my fleshly fear & selfish self will. Well, years later the Lord showed me that this baby was a boy. I felt impressed upon by the Lord that this baby was to be called”Jack” I often pray to God that He will open the Heavens every now & then to allow Jack to see me so that I can tell him how much I love him. Know that at the time I am writing this letter, I do believe I have received full forgiveness from Jack as well as the Lord from this grave sin against both of them as well as myself as well as the many others who would have been impacted by Jack’s life here on earth. Now I just want Jack to know that I love him, that I think of him often & that I can’t wait to see him when I get to Heaven. Continue reading “My Abortion”
Time is short. Let the Holy Spirit bring you to the place with our Lord Yahushua that goes beyond where you are at today. There are a lot of stagnant ones out there. So many are worried, depressed, living for happy hour or sports or hooking up. This confuses me because that’s how I lived when I wasn’t yet saved. Continue reading “Going Beyond Where You are In The Lord”
For anyone who doesn’t know that I’m a constant mess restrained by God’s grace- I’m here to tell you that I am! I’m constantly battling with failing, inadequacy & unworthiness. I have doubts & fears. I weary myself with striving. I feel unimportant & uncared for more often than I let on. And sometimes I go into not so good places within for protection (that would be my introverted self)!
I have something on my 
<3 this morning.
As I look over the past 10 years of my life as a married woman/engaged woman, I think upon how blessed I have been because of God’s grace & mercy through Jesus Christ & nothing less. I also think about how many struggles I had as a young, single mother those many years before this blessed matrimony came to be. And I thought upon how the fact that I got married did not nullify the fact that “in this life we will have troubles.” Continue reading “Oh How Far We’ve Come!”
After four years of us putting our own homeschool curriculum together, we finally decided on pre-packaged curriculum! YAY!!! 
It has taken hours of prayer, observing our children, reading, researching, watching, waiting & a whole bunch of trial by fire to find out what works best for each of them (individually as well as together)! To say the least, the decisions were not made lightly as the options were vast & plentiful! I can see how anyone considering homeschooling can seem overwhelmed. But trust the Lord through the process! He will lead you to what path is right! Your eyes will be opened to how your children learn, and His Spirit will instruct you how best to educate them accordingly. Continue reading “When You Need To Change Things Up, It is OKAY!”
“Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
Once he got off work, Daddy helped me take care of the children just because he knew; he just knew. I had a long, full day. (I battle with insomnia. And so I try to make it through as best I can.) It would probably be hard for just anyone to notice how tired I really am… but he knows. He just knows. Continue reading “When The Hubby Knows”
When you have such a closeness with your children, you find harmony in your home (even when one of you is “off”). This week I’ve had to tend to pressing matters making me not as available to the children as usual. But these lil duckings have been utterly amazing! They have been quiet, kind, courteous and extremely helpful when I’ve needed them to be. And while it is clear they sense mommy is not her usual self, they’ve continued to carry on as if all was just the same. Continue reading “Closeness Matters!”
My view this morning:
Water bottles from our walk earlier. School going on right now. Juicer out ready to make apple & orange juice to be put into ice trays for ice pops with toothpicks. Then, making a pitcher of juice to drink. My turmeric tea is also somewhere up on that very full counter. Strawberries cut & placed in oven for making natural twizzlers. Laundry basket waiting on clothes to be done. And Mama smiling because there’s no where else I’d rather be in the world! Continue reading “Smiling from My View”
