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.
Doesn't this look like a yummy dinner?!

Grilled chicken over whole wheat coucous with a lemon-basil cream sauce, grilled parmesan zucchini, and salad with homemade Catalina dressing... So simple, and so good!!
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...
Where are you in your life? Not whether you are in the diapering stage, the school-age stage, or teen stage… but where are you in your heart? Are you content with where you are, or are you seeking more? Mothering can be a tough job. We face many challenges unique to mothering as we also battle through everyday life. How can we be happy or content with so much expected of us? What can we find to make us happy and able to enjoy every stage of mothering? I have been looking for a lot of things lately to satisfy my desires. The biggest thing I have been looking for, though, is a close friend. You know, the friend you can call at a moment's notice to come over and spend time with you - to laugh, to cry, to talk, or to just sit in comfortable silence. The friend who is beside you through all your triumphs and your trials. The one who accepts you for who you are. In all my searches for happiness, recently I had my hair cut shorter and styled with a little flip in all the lay...
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...
