Hi. I’m Becky, and before I had kids, I was… Well, I will just be honest. I was kind of awesome. We would have been friends. I was funny. Like – “Man, she’s funny!” funny. Maybe I wasn’t that funny – but at least I had time to laugh. I was very outgoing. There...

I married the wrong guy. It was the lie that played over and over in my mind for years. It was the base of every fight. It plagued our disagreements. It promised destruction. But I couldn’t make it go away, and it almost cost us everything. Long before I met my...

That’s it. I’m calling it. It is time to step over the imaginary lines that divide us. It is time to tear down the walls and the alliances and the us-vs-them banners that declare our loyalties. This is my white flag, and I’m calling for an end to all mommy-wars. When...

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....

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...

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...

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...
