The other day I was reading the journal I started when I was pregnant with our son, Landon, our first born.

Want to Enjoy Motherhood More?
Nobody decides to be a mother dreading it. While there are sometimes apprehensions and the fear of the unknown, there is also a magnetic pull on the inside of us toward this dream.

Remember When You Thought Motherhood Would Be So Magical? What Happened?
What if we could savor the magic of motherhood, even when our children are grown? I don’t mean “magical” in a mystical way, (some people of faith get weirded out by that word) but I mean the INEXPRESSIBLE JOY that it is TO LOVE and BE LOVED by a child. I started a journal for [...]
Becoming a Lighthouse
It’s so easy to think that because we are older than our children that we are better, wiser, or we know more of what they should be doing than they do. But is it true? Becoming an adult and accomplishing "adult" things is not always easy. Even now, as mid-life adults, we can hopefully admit [...]

Creating Desire
You may think my life must be perfect. But I will tell you that it's definitely not. There are some things I wish were different. There are things I'm believing God for. BIG THINGS. But I've learned that I cannot wait till everything is "perfect" in order for me to enjoy my life. God is [...]
Trusting God With Your Child’s Future
It’s a relief to know our children are God’s children first! According to Psalm 139 God has already seen every day of their lives and has planned out their destinies.
