To all you single parents out there, I start off this post with saying, "You are amazing. No one in the world is tougher than you. You are the epitome of muscle, hard work, and superhero-ness all rolled up into one." I had a single mom. My parents were divorced when I was ten. Although… Continue reading Pulling on My Big Girl Panties

Worship in the Why
Let's just get real for a moment. Life is hard. I mean really hard. Staying up with a sick baby all night, hard. Having the flu and still having to pack lunches, carpool, punch in your eight hours, make dinner, and give baths, all while feeling like you were hit by a truck, hard. Getting… Continue reading Worship in the Why
Forever Six
I wasn't sure if there was a more perfect baby. I know I should never be partial, but Molly was so peaceful. Only for food would she cry, but once her tummy was full, she was perfectly satisfied. As she grew, her personality began to blossom. She always wished to copy her sister. She had… Continue reading Forever Six
Mundane Madness
There's no hiding the exhaustion of Motherhood. The lack of sleep and constant feeding of a newborn is only the tip of the iceberg. As they grow, you realize they continue to need food and sleep, but then they require other things such as discipline, education, clean clothing, guidance, nursing, carpooling, navigating, and yes, even… Continue reading Mundane Madness
This Ain’t No Slow Dance
I remember this couple. I remember their wedding. It was simple. They laughed a lot. Their smiles were permanently fixed upon their faces. They were happy. They thought they knew it all. They will always put the other first. When needed, always be willing to compromise. They will want to kiss each other everyday, every… Continue reading This Ain’t No Slow Dance
Through the Tears
Picture the scene. A woman. Sick for all her life. Tormented inside. In a constant state of chaos. Then a Healer comes along. He is able to not only cure her ailment, but bring a new life, free from ever repeating such imprisonment. This was Mary Magdalene. The accounts in the Bible talk about a… Continue reading Through the Tears
Birthday Miracles
It's no secret that a new life is simply a miracle. When you take God out of it for a moment and just look at the science of it all and all the things that must be in order for that spark to happen and a new life be conceived it's inconceivable. However, when you… Continue reading Birthday Miracles
My Mothers Day Thanks
Dear Lord, Today is Mother's Day. I thought it only appropriate to thank you for making me a mother. Eleven years ago, you brought that word "mother" into my life in a very personal way. I remember looking at that test that said positive and thinking my world was about to change. And change it… Continue reading My Mothers Day Thanks
I Am Your Worst Nightmare
Having been in the bereaved parent circle for a while now, I have come across a number of parents that seem to echo similar flaws in today's society when it comes to grieving, in particular, the grief of a parent. I, myself, have felt many of the same things these parents have. Yet, no matter… Continue reading I Am Your Worst Nightmare
Thirteen Years
I think I cried myself to sleep that night. How could I possibly imagine four long months, or perhaps even more, without the man I fell in love with. But that was what I was facing. He pulled away with his recruiter, leaving all he knew behind, to start a new adventure and establish a… Continue reading Thirteen Years
P.S. I love...
