I am nervously writing this post thinking that some of you will take this to heart and think I’m talking about me. I can honestly say that God is healing my ache and I am more blessed than ever seeing friendships bloom and overwhelmed by support. This is something I feel like I am supposed to write for those who have a quiet voice. I’ve been praying and thinking about a lot of things lately. Conversations with my Mom {Read More}
Tiffany of Mrs. Pate Writes is here today sharing her heart…. I never understood the 1950s images of happy housewives with sparkling kitchens and fresh pots of coffee. They were traumatizing, a sense of oppression. While rocking out to girl power music, and the freedom of our “culture” there were promises of never being barefoot in the kitchen.

He cried out. He prayed. Today is the 1st day of our stay-cation. We have a bunch of things planned. In the quiet moments I want to get back to writing {Read More}
Here’s the verse I’m memorizing for August for the Illuminate Challenge. (I work on memorizing items by playing with design - that’s what you see above.) & I’m reading through Nehemiah for the month. I hope you’ll join me and or take part in #shereadstruth as we follow short reading programs each day. The important thing is that we are reading God’s Word. Daily connecting with Him. Our days are filled with words that take the oxygen out of the {Read More}
