Every month, Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a Twitterature Link-up as, “a place to share short, casual reviews of books…” There are always plenty of awesome recommendations and reviews, so if you’re looking for suggestions, head on over and hop around! Oddly enough, this month I am committed to reading 30 minutes before bed as part of my Change 3 Challenge, and…
I wrote this a while ago; oddly enough, it was an especially challenging start to the week and in preparation for my bible study this week, I remembered these thoughts and was convicted. There was a general clamoring, clawing, and crying for understanding this week, but I think again on this… Consuming, gut-wrenching passion coupled…
We were blessed to celebrate Calvin’s dedication this past Saturday. We’ve dedicated him to the Lord on our own (and daily), but this was our formal act and announcement that we are committed to raising our child in Christ – teaching him these truths and training him up in righteousness! Our families gathered around for the brief service and…
As you know, I am teaming up with Adventures in Mindful Cooking and taking the Change 3 Challenge (if you’re a blogger taking the challenge click on through to link-up your update)! Also, its not too late for anyone to join in; just assess some changes you’d like to make, and challenge yourself little by little to…
This past weekend, I was at the Women of Faith Conference. There was an unbelievable line-up. Seriously, any ONE of these people could have headlined and keynoted the entire conference and yet they each had just a short time to pack a punch! I had a great time with my sister and cousin, an awesome…
Last week Deuteronomy 31 gave me an incredible peace in Praying against Fear in Adoption. If you are struggling with any number of circumstances, I encourage you to meditate on this passage a while, or maybe read what it has offered me to get you started: Moses is telling the people of Israel that he…
I have to be honest. I am overjoyed and cannot wait for our adoption. But, I am also a little nervous. I usually rush through a flurry of competing emotions faster than I know how to process them. Last week, I was fearful. But, Fear is not from God. (2 Timothy 1:7) In fact, Perfect…
The other night, praying with Max before bed I said, “Lord change and mold our hearts of stone…” Max shot his head up, with what I perceived as a look of you’re crazy mom. “Mom, mold our hearts?” “Yes, because we all are imperfect and have sinful hearts. Sin hardens our heart toward God and…
We are expecting baby #3! We’re just not sure when. The due date is questionable, as I am not carrying this child… We are adopting! (Photos courtesy of Laura Frazier, Owner of Raspberry Lane Photography who was gracious enough to support our Adoption by offering us a complimentary Adoption “Maternity” Session!) Almost two years ago,…
My first born opted out of afternoon naps, but was very obedient to stay in his room and play for a while before coming downstairs, only to approach me whispering, “Don’t worry, Mom, I will play very quietly by myself (note: dramatic hand motions), so that you don’t have to put me back upstairs. Okay?”…
