This morning started off well and then my 5 year old had one grumpy moment after another until finally I had enough and I raised my voice at her. We hadn’t had a moment like that in a while…and of course this happened on the first morning of me taking them to school, just barely… Continue reading Being Made New
No matter how much I think I have things laid out and under control, nothing ever truly goes as planned.

I felt so fuchi (gross) this morning. It’s always like the last 5-10 minutes before finally exiting the house where every once in a while I just feel so overwhelmed by it all and I get the most negative thoughts swirling around in my head. I think of how damn hard parenting and all of… Continue reading Cut Loose
What sweeter words can I say to myself than “I surrender” when I feel myself needing God’s guidance and strength? I am these words and this song. I surrender There are so many feelings and emotions stirring within me. If I had the gift of a well trained dancer I would dance around the… Continue reading Down on my knees again
I tend to over think things. Especially bad moments or experiences. I tend to replay them over and over in my mind trying to figure out where things went wrong. Which is ok, but also at the same time futile. It’s ok when the thinking brings new light to a situation, but futile once… Continue reading Wouldn’t it be nice to just hit “erase”
