Hey Mama Monday: No One Will Remember The Occasional Mess

  Hey, Mama, I heard it through the grapevine that….well…that your house is a mess. A hurricane is more like it. Sure, your kids are clean and they eat really well (I’ve heard about your cooking), and right, so you spend a lot of time with them reading aloud and talking eye to eye, heart

Hey Mama Monday: The Memories You Create When You Cook

  Hey Mama, Do you have a child who loves your cooking? Is there a particular dish he or she loves? You probably have no idea right now the memories you’re creating. Strong, strong ones. Fast forward 40 years from now. Maybe you’re gone. Or perhaps you live with your daughter and her family. The

The PEARL: Part 5 – Love

  I don’t like my neighbors. In fact, we’re thinking of moving because they’re terrible people. Will you pray for me? A young mother approached me with these words after I taught a breakout session on “Reinventing the Backyard Bible Club.” I hugged her and responded, “Yes, I will pray for you, but I want

Whispers Along the Water’s Edge

  “The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home.” With these word, we enter a very special world called the Riverbank, created by Kenneth Grahame. We are introduced to Mole, a tender-hearted optimist, whose big heart often gets the better of him; Ratty, a good-hearted and sensible water-rat, who

Hey Mama Monday: He Will Never Leave You nor Forsake You

  Hey Mama, Difficult trials. You’re no stranger to them. I know it is TIRING, Mama, and it can get monotonous and very dark at times. Will this ever end? Where is justice, where is light? I too have gone through some dark times. And when my heart and spirit are low, I can only

God’s Confirmation Gives Confidence

  As a homeschool mother I occasionally wonder if my children are truly receiving the best education. Not because I find myself inadequate or because I lack teaching confidence. I honestly think that it’s just normal to wonder sometimes. That’s why I’m so grateful that God hears my silent wonders and always provides confirmation. During

Start, Finish, Repeat – A Lesson In Planning

  Ahh mornings. Sometimes the way I get up you’d think my alarm signaled the start of a 5k race. I’m writing mental to-do lists as I shower. A brief tour of my living room on my way to the kitchen expands that list. Then my kids start adding requests for the day, then I

The PEARL: Part 3 – Ask

  I’m a talker. If there’s another person in the room, chances are I’m the one talking. I have a good friend who is a listener. We do well together. However, my listening friend and I both struggle when it comes to engaging with our neighbors. My problem is talking too much, hers is not

Why Mother’s Day Matters

  Dear Mom, back on the 13th of this month the US celebrated Mother’s Day. Maybe you woke up to a breakfast of peanut butter toast and orange juice prepared by your child. Or maybe you received a hand-made card with scribbles on it from your toddler. Maybe, just maybe, you were a little disappointed

Happy Mother’s Day

  This was a day in my life near Mother’s Day just a few years back: I have a splitting headache yet I have three sick children to care for. I have a child who is not cooperating that I have to deal with. I have a toddler who wants me to play baseball and
