Wednesday Word: From Seeds to Roots
•
Saturday night I prayed and asked God a couple of somewhat specific questions. If I’m honest, it’s kind of scary praying like that sometimes, because especially right now there’s a lot of noise in my life and I’m afraid that I’ll miss the answer when it comes. Or misinterpret. Or…

•
My 6 year old son just has a way of asking questions that make you think. Of course plenty of them can be nonsense, because who knows what’s going on in that sweet head of his. But about half the time he asks thought-provoking questions that require careful answers. One…

Wednesday Word: You Are, Even When You Don’t Feel It
•
Today I felt like a human snot rag. Mama said there’d be days like these! My poor little one has a little head cold, with copious amounts of snot accompanied by fussiness and clinging. So I held him today, snuggled him, and wiped his snot. And wiped. And wiped. Bless.…

Wednesday Word: A Stiff Neck
•
This morning, as I was moving around my house doing miscellaneous tasks, I bent over to pick something up and then raised my head to check on my baby, who was laying in the bassinet nearby. Somehow, that motion caused a muscle (or several) to seize up in my neck,…

Wednesday Word: Endings and Beginnings

Technically, my maternity leave is over. The good news is that I work for our local school system, so I’m off for the summer and don’t return to work until August 10th! That gives me another two months of snuggling my baby boy before reality sets in, another two months…
