DIY Mini Valentine Cards & free printable

Happy February! I know, the first was yesterday, but I had important things to say yesterday. I wanted to share something fun in time for Valentine’s today.

BUT, I love you so much that I wanted to make sure you had something cute to use in case you have class parties coming up or celebrate Galentinte’s…

Celebrating someone's success in the midst of your struggles

Celebrating someone’s success in the midst of your struggles

the Book of Job Study Club | I N T R O |

Have you experienced loss in your life? Job? Home? Family? Car? Etc… My little family sure has been racking up a list for the last seven years. We haven’t had anything devastating happen, we have bounced back well, but after recently losing our car, I began to contemplate the book of Job. (more…)

Loving your kids when you are completely exhausted

Loving your kids when you are completely exhausted

Her vision was blurry, her breaths were coming in short bursts, threatening to stop all together…She felt about ready to pass out, could feel the weariness EVERYWHERE, it was almost as if it was an extension of her body. And there they were, demanding her attention, clinging to her even though she could barely carry herself from one room to the next. Asking for this, complaining about one…

Talking about prayer in the blog today...with Pray being my #olw I haven't done much with it yet this year.

When your faith is small, but God is still big

When your faith is small, but God is still big

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” (more…)
