Make the Most of Every Opportunity

I was reading an interesting article the other day from Joyce Meyer, and there are a few points that really hit home with me.  She asked three questions, and I want to share those with you today: ​​     1.  Have you ever said, “There just aren’t enough hours in the day?”      […]

Permission to Be You

Keeping our focus on being a godly woman can be quite challenging at times. However, being REAL, produces an internal freedom that surpasses discontentment in today’s society. To me, a godly woman doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone. She’s strong, yet she doesn’t use strength to control people. She doesn’t depend on recognition from […]

Parent – Child Connection

This world leaves very little space for “me” time, which is another reminder of how intentional I need to be in my daily pursuits.  If I am going to truly make every moment count, then I need to organize my priorities appropriately.   This really got me thinking to what kind of example am I […]

Mothering Myths

    Perfectionism – what an indecent word!  One that plagues mothers with a gamut of feelings.  I thought of a few “Mothering Myths” that make us believe this word to the point of never feeling good enough:      1.  A mom is responsible for her children’s happiness.      2.  A mom is […]

What Lies in Your Heart?

I am being reminded of what great responsibility we have in raising the next generation.  Whether we embrace it or not, we are living and breathing examples of what truly lies in our hearts.  Luke 6:45 tells us, “For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”  We can put the mask on, and […]
