simple words.

photo credit Simple words I needed to read this morning. Stop worrying, hurrying, planning, rushing, stessing. Be still. Enjoy the moments right now, even if they are not what you planned And know. Know I am here, right now when things are going unplanned. I hear you. My promises are still true. Know I will […]

I choose.

photo credit I choose joy. I choose gratitude. I choose to step over the legos, babies, star wars figures and strollers and not complain that I just cleaned up. I choose gentleness. I choose to get up in the dark to have a moment to myself. I choose to follow Him when even when I […]

just hold on.

photo credit Have you had those mornings when you wake up to what seems like a wind storm in your own home. Words, attitudes, demands, complaints are being thrown at you in every direction. Time outs are being delivered before the first sip of coffee, engine lights come on days just days before you are […]

today is a new day.

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 Today is a new day. Today I am choosing to let go of yesterday for it was not a shining moment in my career as a mom. It was a hard day. I am thankful it is behind me. I am thankful His mercies […]

livin’ life.

I just love this photo of Mase riding in the rain. It reminds me to have fun, relax, forget the rules, “the shoulds”, the “have to’s”. It say go! It says JOY! Freedom! It says let go. Forget what others may say or think. Live for the audience of the One who called me. I […]
