When A Friend Does Your Dishes

She asked to wash my dishes. I threw my head back and laughed. “Oh, absolutely not! I cannot let you wash my dishes!” “No, really! I love to do dishes, and I’ll feel so much better about inviting myself over if I scrub up your dishes so you can just sit and chat,” and then […]

In Every Season of Raising Littles

**With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, this is fun glimpse back at my heart as a mommy just two years ago.  I’m still learning and growing.  Praise God for His work in our hearts.  God is sanctifying us all, reshaping us, and teaching us every day to be more like Him.  This is the good […]

How We Stop Fearing Our Own Imperfect Humanity

She joined us today carrying a platter of berry pastries, made in her very own kitchen.  She is free today in ways that she wasn’t free a year ago.  I could see it: the gifts of spiritual and emotional growth on a platter.  Her deliciously simple act of service was evidence of her health. She […]

The Real Secret of Motherhood

   There are times.  There are times when you are raising small children and nothing is quite as “together” as you always dreamed it would be.   You had some major plans for your nest to resemble those homes in magazines and for your children to be walking GAP models.
