Advancing God's Kingdom
Some of us lash out in anger, internalize negative emotions, or become bitter when dealing with an offense. All of these coping methods or reactions to offense are damaging, and they can cause a myriad of issues that have lasting effects on our life. Our kids are constantly learning from how we face challenges, lead, persevere, […]
Whether we realize it or not, most families have been touched by abortion. It is … Modern Day Well: the Coffee shop
God is amazing! He provides us with glimpses of His character through our friends and relationships. We can see His nature reflected in the eyes of those who come in and out of our lives. A few nights ago, I explained to my daughter, “there are friends that stick closer than a brother or sister, […]

I am thankful for the opportunity to homeschool my preschooler. Homeschooling is one of the privileges of living and parenting in the United States. If you are considering homeschooling, take a moment to read this resourceful post by Brittany. She is amazing! Her spouse is a physicist and he is involved in the homeschooling process […]
Our ultimate objective as Christian mothers is to see our children walk in their God-given destiny, not to make them happy. A variety of things make our children happy. No boundaries and late nights watching television make kids happy, as does a pile of sweets and loads of soda, as does letting them run wild […]
Peanut butter and Jelly are comfort food to me like friends who comfort. There are sweet jelly times and sticky, gooey, salty moments with a few crushed nuts added. A tall glass of milk or your favorite refreshing beverage helps the sandwich bites to go down. I have been blessed with older women who mentor, […]
Grace is undeserved kindness. Loving the unlovable is a form of grace that is rare in our society. Grace is not saying the other person is right or letting the other person off the hook. Grace is giving them the benefit of the doubt. We should seek to understand before acting negatively and punishing the […]
What do you do when your adult children do not make the decisions you would like them to make? My friend told me about her daughter, who has moved in with her boyfriend and is behaving strangely. I could sympathize with her as I listened to her story. We are both moms of grown children, […]
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. […]

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58 (kJV) “Before you were, I was” is fast becoming a frequent statement in my house. The little one occasionally believes he knows better than anyone else. Sometimes, reasoning and reflecting with him yield positive results. When he doesn’t […]
Recently, my 5 year old son asked me ,“When is God going to talk to me?”I answered, “Well, He talks to us every time we read the Bible, bud.”Apparently, that wasn’t exactly what the answer he wanted.He further explained himself, “Mama, I mean, when will He use His BIG VOICE? …. Like with Noah!” While […]
Except one lives in a hole in the United States, it is impossible not to come across the LGBTQ flag or colors, particularly in June. While LGBTQ issues may be uncomfortable for many Christians to discuss, we must address it because Jesus was willing to address uncomfortable issues, and He modeled how we can respond […]
For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Psalm 149:4 NIV Did you know that God delights in you?When your Creator looks on you he feels delighted. For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior.He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your […]
“You’ll be in my Heart” by Phil Collins holds a wonderful memory for our family. Tarzan, the 1999 hit Disney movie tells the story of a young boy orphaned after a shipwreck. His parents end up dying, and a gorilla mom and her family raise him in the jungle. At first glance, it may not […]
We are all born unique in the Image of God. We may have brown, black, blonde, red hair, or a variation? We may have brown, black, blue, green, hazel, or any combination of eye color. We have skin color from pale white, yellow, every tan or brown, mahogany to gorgeous black. We are a beautiful […]
In Luke 5:10 Jesus said “Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men”. In Luke 5: 11, Simon Peter and his fishing partners FORSOOK ALL, and followed Jesus. Those scriptures came alive while studying the Bible, today. So, it was impressed upon my heart to reblog this post and remind all moms here to be […]
I was 23 when I got married and 16 years later I am happy and in love more than I was on day one. This is not because everything has been perfect all 16 years. It is because the trials my spouse and I have gone through together have made me grow to love God […]
The story of Noah is perhaps one of the little one’s favorite Bible stories. If you ask him, “Can you tell me about the rainbow?” He would say, “It rained for forty days and forty nights. There was a storm. The boat on top of a mountain. A rainbow appeared in the sky. It was […]
If fathers were not uniquely important in the lives of children, we would not need them for procreation. However, there is more to fatherhood than procreation. Fathers uniquely discipline and comfort their children. 2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV) says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and […]

The connection of two mothers through adoption is multifaceted, amazing, and full of many emotions. I have experienced open adoption. For those who don’t know, open adoption can initially start as shared photos and letters through an intermediary and sometimes leads to shared identifying information and intertwined lives. It is not a legal contract; it […]
