my body, His temple {day eight}

Eating healthy meals is not something that is hard for me.  I actually enjoy most foods that are considered nutritous.  However, making physical activity a priority is not something that I am good at, I’m sad to say.  But the truth is that when I do take the time to be active, I feel great!  […]

speaking to my father {day seven}

Today I’m looking at ways that I can be more intentional with prayer.  When I initially started thinking about this topic I struggled a bit.  When it comes to prayer, I quite often find myself feeling inadequate.  I feel like I stumble over my words and get embarrassed and well…..just don’t know what to say.  […]

effective time management {day six}

For busy moms, time management is an area of extreme importance.  Because either you manage your time, or it manages you…..or something to that extent.  The reality is that if you fail to manage your time and responsibilities, things just don’t get done, am I right??

a little less selfish & a little more giving {day five}

Today I am looking for ways to be intentional in helping others in my community.  Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own lives that we forget to look around at others…..or worse yet, we see the needs of others and choose to look the other way.  I will be honest with you and […]

to my littles {day two}

I feel like a complete failure as a mommy today.  With a sick Little #3, a sick Husband, and two other Littles who need my attention as well, I’m feeling a little stretched today.  The laundry isn’t done, there are dishes in the sink, my bed is still unmade (gasp!), and I’m seriously caffiene-deficient.  When […]

to my husband {day one}

I can recall very vividly sitting outside on the morning of my wedding day, bible in my lap, a cool breeze blowing, and praying to my Lord, asking Him to give me strength, wisdom, and patience (just to name a few) and to help me be the wife that my future husband needed.  In the […]

i’m still here

Life has definitely been crazy for us lately.  But in a good way….. When we originally starting considering homeschooling as an option for our family, I knew that it would take some adjustments and that we would get it figured out.  And that is exactly what we have been up to.  It took us some […]

If you’ve never read through the book of Leviticus, let me just tell you, if you’re anything like me, it’ll blow your mind. I can’t say that this is the very first time that I’ve ever come across this set of scriptures.  But I can honestly say that this is the first time that they’ve spoken […]
