We move through our days doing and going and playing and wiping. Loving and supporting and praying and help-mating. We strive and we toil and we drink a lot of coffee. Then we lay down in our beds and wonder if we did enough. If we are enough to the people who truly matter most
How to Make Your House More Homey
I know…you thought I’d never get to this, right? Well get to it I have but I’m not promising anything life changing! 1. It’s not about perfection. Truth is I’ve been in some seriously gorgeous homes that have no warmth to them whatsoever. They were spectacular to look at but didn’t beckon me to come
Overloaded!
Well, folks, I’m overloaded. Again. I have a sickness. It’s official. But God is teaching me so much through Experiencing God! And I want to tell you all about it. But for now I will just have to share a journal entry. I give you the exact words of a barely awake Mama… You will
