Placing our Treasures in God’s Mighty Hands
I am being nostalgic as my youngest grandchild, Bryson, is embarking on his last year of high school. I wrote this text message to my son and daughter: “Good morning my loves. Sweet mama, I can imagine how you’re feeling as your last child and my last grandchild is heading out to his last high…
You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!
If you’re saying that to me — you hit the nail on the head! Yes! I have — from that intimidated, shy, fearful, and low self-esteem young girl to this out there in attitude, brave and confident “mature” woman. I am a better version of myself because I determined to get out of that shell…
No Matter What — God’s Got This School Year
In spite of the face masks, rules of hygiene, social distancing, on-line or in-person school – I’m asking God for His favor on this year with so many blessings and great accomplishments for our children AND even for you moms and dads. What a breath of fresh air it has been to see such optimism…
#TBT – Grateful for Praying Matriarchs
I don’t see as many Throwback Thursday photos as I once did, so I’m reviving it today. Just a few days before celebrating Mother’s Day, I wanted to pay tribute to my praying matriarchs: on the left, my mother-in-law, Lydia Wuerch (still with us and doing so well at 96) and on the right, my…
Amping Up Back-To-School Prayers for Our Kids AND Us
I see and hear you mamas who are taking those kiddos to school and college. Some of you are elated to get them back-to-school after a long summer. But others, like my niece who took her daughter to college, said: “I’m not gonna lie, I teared up the moment we pulled onto the campus, again…
Mary, Did You Know?
My claim to fame….if it weren’t for me — my children wouldn’t be. And God needed a vessel — one He favored above ALL women — to be the Mother of Jesus. He chose Mary to BE the First Lady of our Faith. She was found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the…
You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!
Have you thought about how far you’ve come in life? You’ve acquired abilities you never thought possible. You dreamed of driving a car and the day came when you earned your driver’s license and now you’ve been driving for years. You dreamed of one day getting married and having children. That day came and now…
Time to Register for Cross Training
On New Year’s Day, I heard this said:: “This is going to be your best year ever, but keep in mind, though you may be going in with a clean slate, you’re still taking some of the “old” in with you. You still take YOU!” That’s a wake-up call, isn’t it? It’s awe-inspiring to think…
An Angel on Assignment
Day 358 of Photo Inspirations — An Angel on Assignment We hear a lot about angels at this time of the year — the angel Gabriel’s announcement to old Zechariah announcing that he and his old, barren wife, Elizabeth, were going to have a baby, then Gabriel appears to the virgin Mary and Joseph to…
Mary, Did You Know?
Day 345 of Photo Inspirations — Mary, Did You Know? This photo inspiration and this song bring Mary right to where we are. It helps us to know she was one of us. She was a woman with real emotions, real challenges, and real love for her baby boy. In 1984 Mark Lowery wrote…
