A Sibling Prayer
I can remember when two of my boys struggled to like each other. I gave consequences. I gave talks. And one day I even tried to “facilitate” a positive discussion. I brought them together and said “Tell me one thing you like about each other”. Well, that totally backfired because one popped off “nothing”. But I kept praying for them. Prayer can change hearts. Would you believe those two boys are actually very close these days? I’m so thankful. Read More
Loving The Lonely
I want to love as Christ loves. I want to be aware of the needs of those around me. Loving others and being aware of their needs will take me being sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting by abiding with Christ. (John 15:5). Lord, help me, strengthen me and be mighty through me, so I notice other’s needs more than my own. Read More
Our #1 Priority
We all have a deep need to connect with our Heavenly Father. And we have a responsibility to make Him our #1 priority in life. However, if you are like me, oftentimes I don’t do the very thing I know is best for me and that I need to do. Read More
Praying For Kindness
Last night, I sent a text to my kid who was upstairs that said “Sorry for being irritable today”. (Does anybody else text their kids in the house?!? Ha!) Read More
Disappointments

Intentional Family Time
I love getting a little quiet in before the craziness of the day begins. I love drinking my two cups of coffee and connecting with the Lord. Even though I have a quiet space most mornings, I’m struggling as I attempt to connect with the Lord. My mind is distracted and wandering. Read More

Many of us want to create a haven for our people. But for now, life inside of our homes, can be somewhat busy and chaotic. Some of us are trying to keep littles entertained, some of us are coming alongside of our kiddos with online learning, some of us are juggling work from home and some of us are dealing with challenging job stressors.

"Building" our Homes
I think all of us want to be women who "build" our homes. We will all fall short at times and lose our way. Praying and hiding God's Word in our heart can help us to be more like the wise woman. One question we can ask ourselves is "Who am I consistently".

Praying Over Yourself
This is a prayer that I whisper often. In other words, I keep it on repeat throughout the day; when I wake in the morning, before I pick the boys up from school, and in the midst of crazy homework.
My days are full and sometimes hectic and if I am not careful I can get a little grouchy or irritable with my people. And there are times when I can react more than I would like. This prayer helps me to stay in responder mode.
