Write it on My Heart
I spent most of my late high school and early college years searching. I wasn’t searching for myself. I wasn’t searching for the purpose of life. I was simply desperate to find the plan of God for my life. I would often pray, “I’ll do whatever you ask me to, Lord....
I Will Always Be Your Mommy
A few nights ago, my son was upset that I wouldn't tell him one more bedtime story. As I walked down the hall to take my daughter to her room, my son shouted, "Well, I'm not going to be your little boy anymore." I knew he was upset, but his first real attempt to hurt...
Just Don’t Let Me Fall, Daddy
It rained on my wedding day. I'm not talking about a nice little shower to christen the day. I'm talking Oklahoma downpour with flash flood warnings and power outages. When the lights flickered as I was getting ready at the church, I wasn't concerned. When the lights...
“Well, When I Have Kids…”
Before I was a mommy, I was a wonderful parent. I knew exactly how children should or shouldn’t behave. Had I been given the opportunity, I could have made all those loud fussy kids in the grocery store or restaurant stop throwing fits. After all, I was sure that when...

Handsome Lives at My House
It is not even daylight. The alarm goes off, and I nudge my husband to quickly dismiss it before it wakes our sleeping toddlers. I have been up at least three times in the night with two sick little ones. As I roll over and snuggle back under warm covers, he sits up...
There is No Such Thing as “Just a Mom”
I was in a doctor’s appointment the other day answering a list of questions about our health and family. The list went on until finally the nurse asked me, “And are you employed?” I answered quickly, “Nope. I’m just a mom." Just a mom. Those words didn’t feel quite...
To My Babies Who Play on Streets of Gold
Some of the things that I write never make it to this page. I must be honest and share that I struggled as to whether or not this should stay in my journal. After quite a bit of prayer, I have decided to post it here. If you haven't read my complete story of hope...
Please Don’t Tell Me I’ll Miss This – Today That Isn’t Helping
When my daughter was little (about 9 months) we called her my little koala baby. Imagine Momma Koala going about her day climbing eucalyptus trees and munching on leaves all while Baby Koala is along for the ride. Translate that into human activities, and you have a...
Falling in Love is Not the Greatest Adventure
I met my husband at the mall. We don't have some romantic story of being high school sweethearts. We won't ever be able to say that we were introduced by mutual friends, or that we met at church camp when we were 15. There were no mysterious drinks sent from across a...
Dancing in the Difficult
"You sure have your hands full." I was busy keeping my nearly 4 year old from pulling all of the Hot Wheels cars from the display rack next to the checkout and calming my overtired two year old. "Every day, sir. Every single day." I barely glanced up at him, but it...
Letters From Miss Lynn: What We Need to Hear the Most
When I was in the first grade, I had a Sunday school teacher named Miss Lynn. Twenty years later, I wish that I remembered more about her. She was absolutely worth remembering. I have a fuzzy picture in my heart of a tall slender woman likely in her 50's or early...
