Skirts or Pants?

A little over a year ago I posted that we, as a family, were making the switch to being a skirt wearing family. It wasn’t that we felt it mandated in Scripture to only wear skirts or that pants were “wrong” it was just a change that we felt God calling us to make. So, […]

Choose.

If God has gone before you to prepare your day, who are we to worry about what might happen. Each and every day we have a choice to make. Are you going to be governed by your feelings, emotions, and surroundings or are you going to claim the promises of Scrpiture and live as Christ […]

Striving for Perfection?

As I spoke with a woman this week that has just recently become a mother of 2 I was reminded how things have changed for me over the years. Maggie “helping” Samantha In my “before children” home the focus was on my likes, tastes, and all about eye appeal. And then, a short 10 months […]

Love.

Do you love your job? I do. But then why do I find myself dreading it. Trying to “escape” it with anything possible. Some days I use the computer, visits with friends, the phone, or anything else I can find. But I love my job. I love serving this family God has blessed me with. […]
