Hi friend! I am so glad you have stopped by the site. We have such a wonderful community of moms here and we would LOVE for you to join us as we share life and learn together!
I heard these words ever so softly one evening while reading my Bible, "Are you willing to lay it all down?" The sweet, gentle voice was one I recognized instantly. It was the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking directly to my heart - and my heart felt every word as if it went through my very soul.
It happened when I was reading these scriptures in Matthew 9:
Being a good parent can start with changing a few habits. Don't believe me? Try one of these simple habits every day throughout the next five days, and watch how it transforms your family and your home!
Well here we are in April....the time when flowers bloom, temps get warmer, and we all get re-inspired to focus on our health! I live in NE Ohio, so to say that my health has been in some sort of "hibernation" is no lie! Some of you may live in milder climates and not have the same extremes that I do, but it's always good to renew and refresh some of your habits!
These days I struggle to bend over the babe that grows inside of me. picking up clothes, toys, and unwanted food from under the table.
My senses are heightened with screams that could break glass. Whining that seams unbearable.
All day I can feel the pressing down. Laying down. It's my life for theirs.
When my grandmother was little, they ate hard-boiled eggs and cold, day-old sweet potatoes on Sundays. Nothing else to eat; anything else would require work. They fed the horses at the farm, but no other work at all. Period. My mom says after church, the parents took a long nap while the kids played "pretend church" for most of the afternoon, singing songs out of the old hymnal.
Recently I read "Little House In the Big Woods" to my kids, and their Sunday routine was equally shocking to me.
