My son, Mychal, has inherited my love for life. He’s a vivacious young man and brings great pride and joy to my heart. So often I hear myself telling people, “Yeah, he looks like his dad, but he acts like his mom.” I’ve watched him grow up and have always let him know how very special he is to me. I love all of my children, don’t get me wrong, but Mychal and I have a special connection – a bond. He was standing in the kitchen last night telling me how nice his friend’s mom is. He said that when he went to leave his friend’s house that his friend’s mom told him to drive careful. He told her, ... Read the Post
Ready Bride?
He shuffled his feet and wiped his sweaty palms on his jacket. His face twitched, producing a peculiar, cockeyed smile. Then, the bride began her promenade down the aisle, and the groom’s whole body radiated with delight. They were so anxious to look their best for each other. All decked out in their wedding finery: He, fit to meet the bride; she, fit to meet the bridegroom. As I sat in the chapel praying for them, the thought occurred to me: Jesus is fit and ready to meet me as His Bride, but am I fit and ready to meet Him as my Bridegroom? If Jesus died that the church, His bride, ... Read the Post
A Trial in Faith
After a church home team meeting, we picked up our son and daughter from the sitter. Hailey our daughter had started to run a fever. As a parent you’re frustrated because you don’t want you baby to be sick and you know a sleepless night is ahead. The fever started Tuesday night and continued to Friday morning. I finally decided it was time to see the Doc! She had no symptoms other than a fever; she would just lay there weak and boiling. At the doctor’s office they took many tests. Everything came back normal, which was great; but it still did not answer any questions. Friday night her ... Read the Post
The Power of Prayer
My husband and I have been going through some difficult times financially since our move. I had started down a new career path, and he was finally getting back into the swing of things with his job. Then we found out we were going to have a baby. We were so excited! Everything was going great until morning sickness or ALL DAY sickness kicked in. I was miserable and couldn’t continue to work. That has hurt us badly. We were already living paycheck to paycheck, just barely covering our bills and living on credit for other necessities. One payday, I was sitting down figuring out the bills ... Read the Post
A Home of Prayer
Although my husband and I love our first home, we finally decided that we needed to buy larger house for our family. We put our house on the market and started looking at homes right away. We were very excited when we put our first offer on a home. We thought everything would play out smoothly. Little did we know, however, that God was going to teach us a lot before our transition to a new home. We received three very low offers on our house and started getting very discouraged. On top of that we lost the contract on the house that we had put an offer on. Again, we started looking at homes ... Read the Post
A Mom Times Three
I don’t know what is worse or most exhausting: the emotional dilemmas of a teenager, the beginning stages of hormones for a tween, or the rambunctious behavior of a toddler. They are each exhausting in their own right. I’m not sure if I can keep up. And let’s not forget that each child has his/her own time zone. My teenager does not get up and start moving until noon. My tween loves to slowly wake up around 8:00 am, and my toddler…well, he is up at the crack of dawn rearing to go in Mama’s car. What makes it more fun is that by the time I’m dressed and meet the needs of my toddler (i.e. ... Read the Post
