You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have
As moms we want to give our kids the best. Sometimes, though, the best does not include our best. We recognize that our kids need us to care for them.

Breaking Chains
Do you ever feel trapped by life? I do. Sometimes it feels like I have no control over the things going on around me. It feels like I’m in a story that someone else is writing, and I have no say over what happens to my character in that story. I think we all wantContinue reading “Breaking Chains”
Living Water
What do you think of when you think of a well? Do you picture a fairy-tale wishing well in an idyllic setting? Do you picture a wooden bucket and a long rope dipping into cool, clean water?

Who Are You?
Who are you? If someone asked that question of you, how would you answer? Most of us would give our name or our relationship to the person with us or our occupation. Often, we answer this question with what we do, but rarely do we give this question the amount of thought that it deserves.Continue reading “Who Are You?”
