This is perfectly timed for my life right now. I find myself quite often pursuing what I want rather than waiting for God to give me something to pursue. What He has for me will always be far better!
Can you identify with this?

Tonight was spent putting together two different lego kits for our kids. A girl’s swimming pool and a castle for our boy. What started out as family fun, ended with my husband and I each building a separate kit of 250+ pieces and our kids were off playing and eating ice cream. They gave up and ha...

If you think someone is not "messy," you just don't know them well enough. People are messy. I am messy! Thankful for God's grace everyday!

Do you find yourself striving to be perfect? A June Cleaver, your favorite Christian speaker, and Martha Stewart all rolled into one? Maybe you're OCD (or, in alphabetical order, CDO). Or maybe you simply desire to be a "well-rounded person." But have you paused to ask yourself Why?

I have a unique opportunity to meet and hear many stories from military women and wives. My husband meets with military men weekly and gets to hear their stories as well. One thing we've noticed is so many of us suffer in silence. We believe that we are alone in what we are going through or people might judge us if they really knew. Can I just challenge you? Next time you have an opportunity to share a current struggle or maybe what God has already done in your life, share it! I know it's hard.....and maybe even awkward. But just imagine, people that are open and honest....imagine how we could encourage each other. Imagine how we could lift one another up.......hold each other accountable. You are not alone and you are not a burden!!! We are made to connect with others. Depression, addiction, loneliness, anger, bitterness, p**n, unfaithfulness, discontentment.....whatever it may be.....you are not alone! Be bold and see how God can set you free!

Yesterday I had lunch at chick-fil-a with a friend. I noticed a few moms as the crowds filed in. They were in workout clothes and they looked like they work out. Thin....fit....strong.....healthy....oh, and pretty. I found myself having this conversation with myself...."I wish I looked that thin....fit...strong...healthy." I continued this hate talk with myself. "They obviously look like they CAN eat here. You, on the otherhand, should NOT!" before I could even finish my thought, my 6yr old son ran up and threw his arms around me and said, "mom, you are more beautiful than the stars." And then he ran off. I knew in that moment God was using my son to speak to me.Do you struggle with self hate talk? Psalms 136:7-9 says, "Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights—His faithful love endures forever.8 the sun to rule the day,His faithful love endures forever.9 and the moon and stars to rule the night.His faithful love endures forever."Look around....listen.....He is telling you He loves with every breath you take.
