For years, I have missed out on a great blessing. But I received that blessing this morning. I have viewed my beginning of the year prayer focus as my time. I wake early, before my children, for extra time in… Continue Reading →
Have you ever been guilty of having a conversation with someone without really listening to them? Yeah, me too. As a mom, that is something I do way too often. With four children that I homeschool, constant noise and chatter… Continue Reading →
Day 12 of 21. We’re just over halfway there. Are you still with me? While driving on a road trip, the middle of the journey is typically the hardest. Anticipation and excitement fill the beginning. Somewhere in the middle, they… Continue Reading →
