The War In My Heart

Parenting

I was down on my knees in the flooded bathroom. I felt like I was drowning in discontentment. I wanted my son to be different. I felt angry that he was making things so difficult for me.

In that same bathroom, the day before, I couldn't take the toothpaste eating and spitting in my face anymore. I yelled and screamed. I showed my son how ugly the anger was that boiled in my heart. I felt the war against flesh and spirit. I let anger win as it shot out of my mouth. I failed my son and left him in tears.

The Two-Word Lie You're Probably Believing

Jessica Smartt

I want you to stop for a second. Stop what you're doing, and think. What is THE HARD THING in your life right now?

You know the thing. The problem. The issue. The thing you're trying to fix, or solve, or ignore, or "get through," or endure. Got it? Got the thing?

Now. If you're like me, there is a teensy-weensy, creeping, sneaky two-word lie you may find yourself believing.

Even In the Fear, Trust God

Even In the Fear, Trust God

I sit across from my friend, aching for the hurt she’s experiencing, wondering with her just how the story will end.

And I know she fears the worst...

The Gift of a Child's Name

He's four and he just learned how to spell and write his name recently. He is so proud (and so am I!). It's nothing to consider ordinary, even though most children in America learn how to spell and write their own name. 

But there is a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when they see their name in writing and recognize it as themselves. To me, names are so important and we didn't chose any of our children's names lightly. 

Why Moms Should Have Fun

Christin

I will be the first to admit, I didn't always have this mentality, but for the sake of my mental health, I've learned how beneficial it is for a mom to get out of the house (literally) and do something fun, challenging, and maybe even a little out of your comfort zone. 

Raising seven children is no easy feat (neither is raising one). The simple fact is, children require a lot from us and the needs of seven children compound and get very overwhelming. I need space to breathe and refresh in order to continue to meet those needs well.
