Mothers


Mothers are such a special gift. My mom came to visit me one day last week and just seeing her made me feel like it would all be okay. My mom has taught me about life, the Lord, heartache, courage, bravery, strength in the face of adversity and how to keep my head up when life gets tough. I am so thankful for a mother who loves the Lord first and foremost and then her family.

Even in the midst of a hard season in life right now, I am able to see how much the Lord has blessed me. I have a wonderful mama, grandmother and mother-in-law and grandmothers-in-law. Blessing upon blessing. All there to teach and encourage and love.

I am amazed at God's plan in providing mothers for us...they represent His love for us and give us an earthly representation of His fierce love for His children. They raise us and give us a strong place to stand. They help prepare us for life and surround us with love.

Praying we would all give our moms a special recognition for all they do for us on Mother's Day this year!

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
