patience is a virtue {day eighteen}

 The Lord speaks in Galatians 5:22 of several fruits of the spirit.  We’ve discussed a few of them so far.  But the fruit that we are talking of today is the one that I struggle with exhibiting more than any of the others. I’m a go go go kind of girl.  I like things to be […]

looking for peace {day seventeen}

“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”  Psalm 29:11 As a mother I find that one of the things I’m constantly praying for is peace.  And strength is definitely a close second.  Being a parent is tough.  Anyone who disagrees with me, obviously hasn’t tried it. But as […]

molding young minds {day sixteen}

In May of this year, Husby and I made a decision that we both knew would greatly affect our family.  We had both become increasingly frustrated with the public school system and what our children were being exposed to.  So, we prayed and researched and finally made the decision to join the ranks of homeschoolers.  […]

finding joy {day fifteen}

When we have the Holy Spirit living within us, we are able to experience TRUE joy.  True joy is the kind of happiness that radiates from within your soul.  People look at you and can see the light of the Lord shining through you.  This is the kind of joy that I long for. The […]

let’s recap {day fourteen}

This month has not been an easy one for me. I’ll admit it. There are days when it has been downright difficult to be the best version of “me”. I’ve been cranky and irritable and hard to get along with at times. And I believe that the reason is quite simple.  Satan knows that, by […]

saving money on food {day twelve}

In today’s tough economic times, it can often seem like our paychecks fly out of our checking account almost as soon as they reach them.  For anyone that this situation applies to, financial stress can play a big part in your everyday life.  So, today I am looking at ways to be more intentional with […]

organize my space {day eleven}

I would say that I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to organizing.  Most people, although they love the look and feel of an organized space, just simply don’t feel confident when it comes to creating that space.  I, on the other hand, LOVE organizing!!!  I’ve loved organizing since I was a little girl […]

what God thinks of boobies {day ten}

Did that title catch your attention??  Good….it was meant to!  What is it about boobs that makes people have to look??  Hmmmm…..a thought to ponder. In my early twenties, it would not have been a shock for any of my friends or family members to see me wearing tiny little shorts and a midriff-baring halter […]

our furry family members {day nine}

Today’s post might seem a little silly to some.  But it’s an area where I feel that I need to be more intentional, so that makes it important to me.  Strangely enough, I had this post scheduled for a later date, but last night’s events prompted me to go ahead with this one. Almost 2 […]
