Reading books. Playing on the computer. Organizing more when it’s really already good enough. Picking up the house. Watching a movie. Doing laundry. Scrapbooking. Ironing. Sitting. Playing games. These are all some ways I have wasted time. It’s really all a matter of perspective. What is work for one person…

I have been mulling over the song, “Blessings”, by Laura Story for a couple of weeks now. The one line I’m still stuck on is: “What if the trials of this life are His mercies in disguise?” Of course, I had to look up the definition of mercy. Here’s what…

Why Should This Interest Me?

I remember taking reading comprehension tests in school and wondered as I was reading the stories, why should this interest me? Seriously, this story is a made up story only for the purpose of taking a test. There is no validity to any of this. Why should I care why…

Diligently Resting in God

Diligently. This word struck me funny today during my devotions, so I took a moment to look up Scripture on being diligent. The one I liked the best was Hebrews 4:11 (NASB), but let’s also include verses 9-10: “So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For…

Today I was a Mother in the truest sense of the word…I went on a field trip with my daughter! I even rode the bus. I even told other children to sit down and be quiet. I gave other children the “motherly eye” when they were doing things they shouldn’t…

The Grand Canyon. How beautiful! Our family went there when after my fourth grade year. I was in awe at its beauty, so much so that I bought a poster to put in my room when we moved to our new house. There was one tiny detail I forgot to…

I AM… So many thoughts fill my mind as these words are spoken. I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a caregiver, a taxi driver, a bargain hunter, a nurse, a psychiatrist, an organizer and so much more. Happiness and fulfillment are wrapped up in all these things. Yet, I…

To Whom Do I Report?

To Whom do I report…this thought goes through my head multiple times a day when I’m cleaning or ironing. I don’t have a boss, really, as I stay at home. But, my husband and kids notice if the laundry has not been completed if they have no clean clothes. They…

I love goals! I love lists! I love the satisfaction of knowing something is complete and there is such joy and relief when I cross that object off my list. This not only keeps me on track, but it is fulfilling to me to know I have accomplished something. The…

Routine. Sometimes the thought of that is nice. You go through the day without a care in the world. All seems normal and there is really nothing that stands out to you. This was my day today. Just another day being a mom. I did some laundry, went on a…
