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 [...]

Early Mid-Life Crisis?

Maybe not.  But I feel like I’m changing.  I don’t recognize myself lately.  I never in a million years ever considered becoming a teacher, and now I’m about to start working toward my teaching degree.  (Yes, I still want to do the librarian thing, but one step at time people.)
When I was in my early [...]

I’ve Got Nothing…

I’ve had a hard time coming up with any new posts recently.  I blame summer.  Not that I’m on vacation or anything (I wish!), but there is just something about this time of year.  I would rather go for a walk or play with Shiloh in her sandbox than blog.
I’m still preoccupied with the whole [...]

Ghost of Boyfriends Past

I think God has a sense of humor.  How else can you explain the fact that I just happen to run into my ex-boyfriend at the social security office (I was there to get mine and Shiloh’s last names changed), when there is a long wait and I can’t escape with a quick hi?  Now this [...]

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 [...]

Writer’s Workshop

I’ve decided to do the first three prompts from Writer’s Workshop this week.
1.) Share a love letter.
 
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
 
Maybe not exactly what you were expecting, but it [...]

Emotions

Don’t worry, this is not another whiny, sad post.  I’m actually trying to write this quickly.  I need to go to bed.  Problem is, the last two nights I’ve had such a desire to write (I wrote two posts last night and only published the shorter one). 
I hate that my inspiration always comes to me [...]

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 [...]
