Home Sweet Home

I’m back. I had a good weekend. It was nice to get away for a few days. Shiloh was wonderful. I had no trouble out of her at all, and I don’t think she was an annoyance to other women either. I did my best to make sure the other women didn’t feel like they had [...]

Trust

Tonight it crossed my mind how dependent children are on us. And how trusting. It’s almost scary.
Shiloh was sleeping in her room and I was doing homework in the living room. She woke up and started crying, and I could tell it was her scared cry. As soon as I picked her up, she was [...]

the REAL me

Can I be honest for a minute?  It’s so easy to slip into that role of making yourself sound good on a blog.  I can sound like the best mom ever.  Or the super Christian.  But I’m not.
I feel like I’ve been neglecting my relationship with Jesus recently.  I haven’t turned my back on Him [...]

Conversation With God (Seriously)

So I should be in bed right now.  (What’s new, right?)  But I had to write this down before the moment passed. 
Tonight I was getting ready for bed, brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc.  I was thinking about a blog post that I want to write on humorous things about being single.  As I was [...]

Cynicism

I’ve been asking God to show me anything in my life that needs to be removed.  Any sins or attitudes or whatever.  He’s been showing me slowly, but it isn’t fun.  I don’t like what I see sometimes, but I need to see.  I need to see so I can allow Him to remove those [...]

On Skepticism & Apathy

Isn’t it crazy how you can get something from a sermon other than what it was about?  I love how God works.  Church was good today and the sermon was relevant to me, but not life changing or anything.  It was about not trying to be a Christian, but just being one.  In other words, letting God work on your heart and [...]

Compassion

Something else that  I love about Shiloh.  She is rough and tumble or silly and giggly, but when someone is hurting, she is so compassionate.  I love that.
Tonight we were having dinner with some people from church and one of the little boys had to have a breathing treatment.  He’s about five years older than [...]

Wordless Wednesday

Shiloh praying before dinner.  I think it’s so sweet.  I have to admit, meals at our house are so crazy and hectic that I got out of the habit of praying for my food before Shiloh was born.  The daycare must have taught her because she’s been reminding me.  Of course, now I make sure [...]

Finding God’s Will

Why is it that I come up with so many great blog ideas when I can’t blog, but when I have the time, I don’t remember any of them?  Even if I write my ideas down, the thoughts are gone and I sit there wondering why I wanted to write on that subject.  I was [...]

Daddy God

We’ve all been told that God is our Heavenly Father, and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve been guilty of just accepting that title without giving it much thought.  Obviously it’s true, He is our Father, but I never stopped to think about what that meant.  As a parent, I’ve started to [...]
