TagSinging & Its Effects
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own great presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.
-Great is Thy Faithfulness by Thomas O. Chisholm
When you sing these words over and over again in your mind God will grant you a peace that endures. It’s amazing! If you just have these words stuck in your head..
The Sailors Ballad
Here is a little poem I wrote earlier today. I hope you enjoy it! =)
Tis said calm seas make not a sailor great,
But wind and storm, high gales and slate.
How can you exceed if not tried to your limit?
Great wisdom and potential lies beyond the summit.
Give up not on faith and hope
Hold on sailor, tie fast your rope.
Let God be your anchor through calm and storm.
He created and knew you before..
A Thirst This World Can’t Satisfy
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It’s not our home
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing..

Monotony & Drudgery
Day in day out, same old same old. Cleaning, folding, teaching, shopping, another Monday came and went, when will the monotony end? When will the drudgery of life as a mom and older sister end? We do the same things every week every day all year! What does it matter if we do it happily or sorrowfully?
IT MATTERS A LOT! Time and life will not wait. It is happening now. Your kids will look to..
Mud All Over Me…
I had mud all over me. I was laughing hysterically. In the middle of the mud fight in our creek I looked over my shoulder. I saw my handsome 7 yr old brother and my other 2 little sisters. They were jumping up and down in the creek throwing mud and laughing at each other. In that moment I paused and thought to myself: I have everything I could ever need or want right here at my home. What could..
The Weekend is Here!
The weekend is here! What will yours consist of? Will you have company over? Take a family vacation? Or will you have family time at home? Or do you have a list of chores around the house to complete? In all of your weekend activities bring glory to the King! Try to take some time alone with God and enjoy His presence…

Bringing Home the Bacon
The men bring home the bacon. We all know that. But it’s the ladies of the house that get to cook and serve it back to them! 😉
Joining in the Mess!
That moment when you walk in a room and the kids have made a disaster of everything!!! Crayon marks on the wall, toys covering every square foot of carpet, pillows and clothes are strewn everywhere. Or maybe the kids decided to try out their cooking skills in the kitchen. Flour and water are covering the counters, eggs are cracked on the ground, the towels are thrown across the room and the..
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle by William Ross Wallace
Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Infancy’s the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother’s first to guide the..
