Overcoming Procrastination

This week, I’ve seen a post circulating that says, “I had a lot of things to do today. Now I have more things to do tomorrow.” We often make jokes about procrastination like “tomorrow is anti-procrastination day” or “the meeting of procrastinators anonymous has been postponed indefinitely.” While we...

New Word for the Year

In 2022, my word focus was Gratitude. Some days, living in gratitude takes no effort. On other days, it takes every ounce of energy. When I spend the energy, I find that my battery recharges, giving me more power to do what needs to be done for the day....

As Long as Life Allows

This post has been ruminating in my head for a little over six months. On June 10, just after 10 PM, my last grandparent died. I know how blessed I have been to know four grandparents and how much more to be an adult before any of them died....

Journey through Time

For the past several years, I’ve done some form of “reading the Bible in a year.” This started with my Grandfather making a family calendar each year that included all the birthdays and anniversaries, classic family photos, and Bible reading on each day. I loved that I could read...

Mom Life Together

From the creation of the world, God’s design has been perfect. He created everything in just the right order to sustain life. Light, separation of the waters above and below the land, vegetation, seasons, fish, birds, animals, and people. Just as He created the world in the right order,...

Lessons from Disney’s Encanto

My daughter’s newest favorite movie is Encanto. We originally watched it because my sister created a Math Parody Video based on one of the songs (seriously, you should watch it. You’ll learn an obscure math fact to a catchy tune). Like many people, we enjoyed the story, the songs,...

Living Christianity

Professing Christianity is not the same as Living Christianity. Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.” By this definition, how often is Insanity also a crisis of faith, a spiritual sickness more than a mental illness? (Note: I am...

An October of Possibility

October brings vibrant colors, weather changes, and a harvest Here in West Texas, the cooler temperatures take a while to stay. On the Caprock, we start our mornings around 50 degrees but we may still reach the 90s during the day. A dryer climate often means less dramatic color...

Homeschooling 101

Comparison is the thief of Joy. When I get in a “My kids are behind” mindset, I shift my focus to the ways they exceed. My job is not to raise people who think like everyone else, regurgitating the popular answer of the day. My job is to give...

A Time to be Still

Psalm 46:10  in the Amplified Bible says, “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.” Other versions say “cease striving,” “stop fighting,” or “desist.” In context, the Psalmist is proclaiming that God is our refuge and that He is with us. There is no better place to...
