Give Prayer a Try
It’s easy to think about it. It’s rolls off the tongue when we talk about it. It completely consumes us when we worry about it. But the question is – are we PRAYING about it? Sometimes life’s volume button appears to get stuck. Situations seem louder than the gentle whispers of our sweet Savior. It’s…

Kiss Those Strongholds Goodbye! – Motivation Monday
Strongholds. A place that is generally constructed and fortified to protect someone or something against an attack. Something that can be of great benefit. A safe place. But many times the enemy likes to use our places we have created for safety – against us. He quickly shifts the feeling of safety to a place…

Fill Up, Babe.
It is so amazing to me how God unveils life’s greatest wisdom through gentle whispers, if we will only make time to listen. We may need to clean a little wax from our stubborn ears in order to clearly hear His voice. Maybe wipe the dust from the bible on the night stand that has…

We Were Made to Thrive – #MotivationMonday
An ant can lift 50x it’s own body weight. 50. Times. Woah! Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Sometimes what lies before us seems impossible to the human eye. A grim doctor’s report. A wayward child. A hopeless marriage. The job that keeps you away from your family. A mound of debt with less than enough to…

First Day Jittters
Change isn’t easy. Sometimes we go kicking and screaming. Other times we’re wrapped up so tight in bondage by our our fears of uncertainty. As much as fear can grip us as adults, it’s magnified far greater in our children. Things that may seem trivial to us are Mount Everest mountain peaks to our babies.…

More Than Enough.
Another day of endless sibling squabbles. More than enough. “Give me that! I had it first! That’s mine! Stop it! He’s pushing me! She did it!” The oh so familiar repetitive routine will wear down even the strongest ones. Some days are so completely exhausting. *insert long dramatic sigh here* And when those days become…

One Degree
Is it just me or does it feel like the room can go from Sahara Desert to Penguin Palace the moment you touch the AC? It felt so stuffy when I was unpacking one of a million boxes so I simply shifted the temperature down from 74 to 73. One degree. One degree difference and…

New Beginnings! <3
What a fabulous Monday it has been here in Clearwater, Florida! Wow, hard to believe that’s the last time I’ll be saying that. Oh no, this picture isn’t today. I wish. It’s been pouring rain and this mama has spent the day cuddled up with a sick little guy who is pretty adamant about wearing…
