None of us is perfect. We all have something to work on. Areas to improve in. It can be easy to judge and pass blame. Especially when we don’t understand why others do the things they do. Pride can settle in and harden your heart. This is why it’s so important to humble yourself before […]

Reese came out smaller than I imagined him to be. My first baby, I really didn’t know what he was going to look like. He had long, skinny legs and I had to go out and get him some newborn pants that fit him. Barely any of the stuff I had for him fit. When […]

When I was growing up in a very strict church, I thought that I was missing out on everything that normal kids were allowed to do. No pants, no makeup, no hair dye or hair cuts. No open toe shoes, no dancing, no jewelry, no movie theaters. I wasn’t allowed to do any of these […]

“I am a new creation In Christ.” This is just one of the scriptures I used to quote when I first became a Christian. For a long time, It just sounded good. I believed it, but it wasn’t something that felt like it was apart of me. Having a true encounter with Christ that led […]

“Don’t take it personally. It’s not about you.” That’s what I’m trying to tell myself now. But it’s not that easy. When my step daughters don’t listen to me, I take it more personally than when my bio kids don’t listen. In my head, it’s because they just don’t care, rather than it being a […]
