A journey in trying to live life healthily (not always succeding) while serving our Almighty God, being a helpmate to my husband, homeschooling three children, cooking from scratch (most of the time), and being transparent with my friends whom I dearly love.

Most of my friends know how much ministry to moms has meant to me and my family. After seven years of participating and leading in my local group of a mom's ministry I became a field leader (volunteer staff). I recently retired from the ministry, where I served in a volunteer position representing the organization for six and half years - the final four as the leader over Kentucky and Tennessee. Through this organization my life has changed - my family has changed. We have grown. I have grown as a mom, wife, and leader. But more importantly, I grew closer to our Lord. Many of you know that God has called me to serve in other places - first in my home, secondly in my homeschool community. However, there was a bigger reason for my retiring before the end of the ministry year… a theological reason. This year the organization's leadership training incorporates teaching that I have concluded is in direct conflict with Scripture. I do not make su...
A couple of years ago I came to a mountain on my path. I asked God to move the mountain; He had me camp beside it. Earlier this year He led me around the mountain and I came upon a river. By this time after getting used to the mountain, I wanted to walk through these waters to pass through, continuing on my path. But God did not part the waters to allow me through. He said wait. I waited beside those waters until this recently. I got up expecting God to turn me to a different direction without looking back. I knew months ago I would not be crossing those waters. In February I received confirmation of that through a good friend, our pastor’s sermon, and words of friends from church. On the way home from church one day I prayed about what I was supposed to do - how and when I was to turn from these waters and take a different path. After years on the same path, I knew it was going to be bittersweet and strange - not just for me, but for my family - to...
If I were given a pop quiz on car maintenance, I think I would get most of the answers right. Especially on true or false questions like the following. True/False: It is important to check the oil before driving. Yes, I think i would pass the quiz. However, my problem comes in the practical application. Did you know if you run out of oil that your car will overheat and after getting your car to the parking lot behind McDonald's you will be stranded with three children with nothing to do but to walk to McD's let them play in playhouse? Yes… It's true. And of course you will have to call a friend to get the food out of your car because it is your turn to provide the main dish for a ministry in which you are involved. Well, what could I do? I could gripe and complain and be all down about it. Or I could take the time in McD's to rest and read a good book that just happened to be in my purse (I had to take a child to a doc...
