Marathoners? Ironmen? How about MOMS?

May 23, 2011

Do you ever feel like you are running the BIGGEST race of all every day just trying to keep up w/your crew? This whole mom-thing can be exhausting, girls. (Can I get an “amen”?) A friend sent this blog to me and I loved it…it’s written by a mom of 3 who is an author, [...]

Push ‘em back, push ‘em back. WAY BACK.

February 14, 2011

So, our FIRST MIC Bible study started this week, girls. So far I’ve learned: I’m not the only one who struggles with my priorities and making time for God. I’m not the only one who leaves laundry, etc piled on the dining room table. I’m not the only one who wants to take God off [...]
