Reflections of a Work-in-Progress Mom
I’m not sure I have ever owned an actual study Bible. I have had various devotional Bibles, just-plain text Bibles (not sure if there’s a specific term for these :p ), and a journaling Bible, but never a study Bible. I’m looking forward to using this for our next Hello Mornings Bible study, but for Read More …
Have you ever received advice and tips from someone before? Have you ever received unsolicited advice? How about advice on a topic that the advice-giver is not even an expert on? How about advice on situations a person has no information about? Okay, since you see the title of the blog post and the pic Read More …
Anxiety. Fear. Depression. I’m not surprised that these are the common themes in some of today’s recent book releases. Through many conversations with friends and strangers, many people are feeling crushed by the weight of worry, and really sometimes, the weight of the world.

You’ve probably heard me talk about rest more than once and I’ll probably talk about it some more. Why? Because it’s important. Jesus taught it and He also modeled it for us. I think our society needs to rethink what rest looks like. Rest doesn’t equate to laziness. I’m hearing this conversation more and more Read More …
When you were younger, were you asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” If you were, what was your answer? (Here’s Melody’s response in My Shifting Dreams.) Was it something that was glamorous or did it require lots of challenges? Did you want to do something where you were comfy pursuing Read More …
There are quite a few lessons I have learned since starting our “clutter free” journey. Here are two recent ones: When you have less stuff… There are fewer things to clean.
