Many of my blogging friends (or should I say friends that blog?) are participating in 31 days of… the brain child of popular blogger, Nester Smith. I had every intention of participating via In Be’Tween Moms, even had a cute little graphic made. But real life happened. My husband and I went on a 10… Continue Reading

A reminder to Be Still
Life can rush by at a crazy pace, especially if we take our eyes off eternity. Lisa Chan, wife of one of my favorite authors, Frances Chan, has just released a short inspirational film aptly entitled, Be Still. Sometimes, when I allow myself to get caught up in the busyness of life- the Mom taxi,… Continue Reading
Dear Sweet Pea
You were unexpected. The best kind of surprise. I remember the first day I met your mommy. I was visiting teen moms at a local high school and she shyly showed me her ultrasound picture. Her belly was barely swollen and she was already in love with you. Little did I know that 3 months… Continue Reading
God’s best laid plans
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. ~Revelation 12:11 Shayla shared part of her story with our local newspaper for an article about the teen mom ministry I volunteer with {and that… Continue Reading
Hitting the books
I have a special prayer request! Tomorrow, Shayla starts her first day of college classes!! She is excited but nervous, especially about juggling motherhood, work and school {not to mention a wedding at the end of next month}. Will you pray for an extra measure of grace for her? God has moved so incredibly in… Continue Reading
Running on empty
As I mentioned in my last post, life is running at a hectic pace right now. It would be {and at times has been} easy to put time with God on the back burner or think there is always tomorrow. But, I don’t want to just get through the next few months. I don’t want… Continue Reading
Strollers and highchairs and camp, oh my!
If you have been reading here for long at all, you know that being a teen mom is a major part of my testimony and serving teen moms is a personal passion the Lord has laid on my heart. Today, 20+ teen mama’s that I love are headed to have the time of their lives… Continue Reading
What a week {in pictures}
I don’t know about you but this week has just plain wore this mama out. Sometimes I get so riled up about things that don’t really matter {am I the only one that does that?} I try to live my life through the lens of eternal significance but get so easily tripped up by the… Continue Reading
When manna isn’t a miracle anymore
Discontent can eat a hole in your soul. For me, it started with a strong desire to replace our couch. Now, in my defense, our couch is twelve years old and a hand-me-down. {and for the record I don’t think there is anything wrong with buying new furniture}. Lately, its age and the wear and… Continue Reading
Favorite Bible Promises
I am busy with a new writing project {never has God laid something on my heart as clear as what I am working on right now and I can’t wait to share it with y’all! Pray for me, please}. When I am working on a specific project, I go through my old journals and prayer… Continue Reading
