Loved In Spite of Self

A mama who is loved by Jesus, her hubby, and her kids in spite of herself. My hope is that everything I share encourages, points you to Jesus, and illuminates the big love he has for you not because of who you are or what you have done but because of who He is and what He has done.

This morning I had the opportunity to ask forgiveness from every one of my family members even the dog.  Obviously our morning was not a banner one. I didn't set my alarm today.  The plan was to get up with my hubby instead of having reading and getting ready in a quiet house time.  Around … Continue reading Friend, Your sins are forgiven.

I have heard the phrase many times: "Preach the gospel at all times. When necessary use words." -St. Francis of Assisi It is from a long time ago.  St. Francis of Assisi is attributed with saying it.  It's great for our day in age when we can only tweet so many characters.  It would fit … Continue reading Living life as an Example

Mom guilt is a real thing.  Mom guilt sucks big time. Mom’s feel guilty about things that are not sin issues and sometimes mom’s have issues that are rooted in sin. We all have sin and guilt but I have never felt the weight of guilt like I have in motherhood. We feel guilty about … Continue reading Mom Guilt and Jesus

Looking for Reasons

Chris Stapelton is my favorite artist right now. Hands down.  He isn't one of those where I fall in love with one song he has. He is an artist I can have on repeat for a long time and not have to skip over 25 songs just to get to my 2 favorite. I have … Continue reading Looking for Reasons
