It’s been a while since I have actively participated in Tackle It Tuesday, but I think I figure that I have too many tackles each day and week to list just one! Plus they always seem to be the same which ends up being boring for my lovely readers. This week though we tackled the apple tree. Well, not the…

Power of a Praying Parent Study – Chapter 6
I found myself crying as I prayed the prayer written at the end of this chapter. It gave me hope, it gave me a strategy, it gave me a prayer and it spoke to my heart! “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother; for they will be graceful ornaments on…

Power of a Praying Parent Study – Chapter 5
I am always praying for my sons’ futures. I pray for wisdom to guide them each day in the hopes that as adults they will experience freedom in Christ.

Monday Memories – Lisa
I mentioned on Friday that I was out of town for a Funeral and thought today would be a perfect day to tell you a little bit about my cousin Lisa. She lived her entire life knowing that each day that came could be her last. She didn’t have a sudden illness, cancer or many of the other challenges that…

Who Knew?
Who knew that I would have to take off the buttons from my heaters and use them as a key to keep twinny hands from messing with them? Who knew that a 16 month old could scale a 5 shelf bookcase in 10 seconds flat? Who knew that a four year old could actually serve as an extra hand for…

Power of a Praying Parent Study – Chapters 2 & 3
Chapter 2 really challenged me this week! “Releasing My Child Into God’s Hands” has been a continual goal through the years, but I’m always amazed at my human nature trying to take over. I find myself daily having to give my children back into His hands! We dedicated them to Him as infants and pledged our commitment as parents to…
