Keeping His Way Pure e-book review and #giveaway!

hardbackstandingstraight(4)

Tammy, the creative mind behind Unique Family Vision, has written an amazing book that any mother, but especially boy moms will want to read.  I know that I have wrestled and worried and agonized about just exactly how are we going to teach and instill in our precious sons that purity is important – – – even if [...]

Giving Thanks {Accepting My Children Edition}

DSCN0798

I have to examine my heart. Again. *sigh* This parenting book (How to Have a H.E.A.R.T For Your Kids by Rachael Carman) sure focuses an awful lot on ME rather than my kids!  I am kidding of course, but it just never ends.  Truthfully? I am grateful for the things that the Lord is revealing. [...]

january 27-001

I know that I can’t get used to this, but I had another two hour delay from school this morning, so I just whipped up my scrapbook page for my first goal. Oh wait- I am doing this all out of order.  I haven’t even made coffee yet.  (This is probably a bad idea.) It’s [...]

Before I start complaining about this whole “being accountable” thing, blah blah blah, I want to make sure you all noticed my awesome giveaway happening right now!  It is for $35 to DaySpring.  I will be picking the winner on Wednesday morning!  OH – one clarifying detail on the subscription option.  Google Friend Connect is not [...]

I have always loved getting mail.  I love giving cards and finding the perfect one for the special people in my life.  It is an art that I have lost a little bit, so when the (in)spired deal for January at DaySpring was all about greeting cards, and spreading the joy one person at a time, [...]

Top Ten Blessings in the the Middle of a Scary Trial

I am sitting in my husbands hospital room as we wait, and wait, and wait until his stress test that is scheduled for 1:30 pm.  Yesterday afternoon he called me, informing me that he was headed in to the ER for chest pain, side pain and shortness of breath, and that our family doctor had [...]

Giving Thanks {Enriching Your Marriage Edition}

familyjan22

I am reading an amazing book with a very supportive group of women. The book is How to Have a H.E.A.R.T. For Your Kids, by Rachael Carman.  The introduction and first chapter were awesome. The second chapter was equally good, but quite a bit more painful.  The chapter, Enrich Your Marriage, brought to light some [...]

How am I bringing Him glory?

  I can’t even start to describe the conviction that I feel as I read the title of my own post.  The truth is — {insert shame, pain and sadness} — I am not.  If I start cataloging my areas of weakness, I know that I will end up drowning my laptop with my tears. [...]

How Are You Bringing Him Glory?

Have you ever really stopped and savored the first six verses of Ephesians? Well, to be specific, verses 3-6. The first two verses are the standard greeting of a letter. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed is with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in [...]
