FROG IT, baby!

By

For the last twelve years, I’ve spent every summer either moving homes, having babies, or last summer, having knee surgery. As a family, we’ve never been able to live in the moment, enjoying the freshness of a new season and rhythm, because there has always been a pressing need that demands our attention. Boxes to pack. Rooms to rearrange. A homes to paint. Nurturing to be done. Healing to be focusing on. As far as we know, there may still be a pressing need lurking around the corner of June, but for right here, right now, all we know is…

Whatever.

By

I come from the generation of whatever. Whatever said with an attitude that sounds more like wwwwwhhhhaattevvvvvaaa. With an overtly disrespectful flip of the head and swing of the wrist to communicate, “I’m not the least bit interested nor effected by anything you have to say to me.” Whatever is the hardened girl’s defensive move to keep anything hurtful from penetrating her heart.  Not that it really works.     God has a different whatever in mind.

I had only been in high school a few weeks when it happened.  That morning I got up, got dressed and I put on my newest purchase: slick black Mary Jane pumps.  I couldn’t wait to wear them!  I was so excited to get to school that day.  Why?  It wasn’t because of a boy or because we would be getting out early that day (got to love those days!).  It was because I was feeling confident.  I actually felt beautiful for once.  I knew my outfit was cute, my hair was working with me, and I felt like I…

Keeping It Real Link Up

By

Earlier this month I wrote about how  I wanted to share life From My Heart with you, as I grow more and more passionate about keeping it real online in the same way I live in real life.  I want to give you a ‘fessing up story of my sin shaped in a God-lesson, because that is what real life is all about. I want to share an honest-to-goodness struggle in my parenting, because I am not a perfect parent even though I teach about parenting with grace. I want to share moments in which the Lord revealed His Word-come-to-life…
