Well, we finally told our families over the holiday weekend so now I’m free to share the good news…. Another sweet little baby bundle of happiness will be joining our family sometime next February! I kind of feel like going from a family with 4 children to 5 children all of a sudden qualifies us for [...]

Hearing God’s Voice
Posted 27 June 2011 by adminTagged As: faith | Categories: Faith | Leave a Comment
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve been walking around with a blindfold on aimlessly trying to get to where I want to go. I don’t know where I’m wanting to go or what I think I’m going to get when I get there, but I know there’s something at the finish line. As I was [...]
A Best Friend
Posted 23 June 2011 by adminTagged As: Friendship | Categories: Friendship | Leave a Comment
A best friend is someone who is there for you through thick and thin. They tell you like it is, always in love, and they pray for you and with you. They call you just to say “hi” and they check up on you when they know you’re struggling. They share in your happiness and cry in [...]
Experienced A Few of God’s Blessings Last Weekend
Posted 20 June 2011 by adminTagged As: Life | Categories: Life | Leave a Comment
Well, I’m feeling a million times better than I did last week. My dad (who lives about 3 hours away) stayed at our house for the weekend and ended up taking my boys with him to a softball tournament all day on Saturday. They were literally gone all day from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. [...]
An Easy Way to Forget About Your Problems
Posted 16 June 2011 by adminTagged As: | Categories: Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Do you want an easy way to forget about all your problems? Yesterday I experienced the perfect distraction from all of mine. It wasn’t alcohol. It wasn’t sitting mindlessly in front of the t.v. It wasn’t finding comfort in food that I don’t need. It was the simple act of serving someone else. I’m not [...]

If you’ve read my recent post “Breath In…breath out” then you’re already familiar with my recent little meltdown. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to do so. In my post I mentioned that I had called my mom to vent out all my frustrations and in doing so, she offered me some great [...]
Breathe in…breathe out.
Posted 13 June 2011 by adminTagged As: | Categories: Faith | 2 Comments
Breathe in…breathe out…breathe in…nope, it’s not working. The tears start falling like raindrops. The big, giant raindrops that drench the ground with moisture. For the most part, I’ve tried to remain relatively distant in my writing on this blog. I’ve tried to stick with the typical tips and tidbits on what I’ve learned (mostly the [...]
Giving My All

As we’re nearing the last stretch of our homeschooling year, I’m already planning out what we’ll be doing in the fall. And as I sat at my kitchen table pondering which language we should study first, which keyboarding curriculum will be the best, and which Bible study will provide the most nourishment to these little [...]
Time To Work On Being Virtuous
Posted 25 May 2011 by adminTagged As: | Categories: Faith | 2 Comments
If patience is a virtue then I’m not very virtuous today. I’m having one of those days where every little thing seems to be grating on my nerves. Maybe it’s due to staying up too late. Or maybe it’s my diet restrictions I’ve put myself on (although my scale number this morning should put me [...]
Humble Yourself
Posted 24 May 2011 by adminTagged As: | Categories: Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
From the time I was pregnant with my first child, I’ve regularly invited my parents to step in and intervene at any point when they see behaviour with my children that needs to be corrected. It takes a lot of humbling to allow someone to come in and point out your weaknesses, that’s for sure. [...]
