“YOU KNOW YOUR MOMMA IS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH!” That was me to my fierce daughter, Ember, yesterday. I wanted to call her, but I said I know my personality gets a bit overbearing, so I resisted. Within five minutes, she was the one calling me. That’s my boo! I told her about my …

NO SHAME IN MY GAME (REPOST) Every day I run to the end of those 47 trees God had lined up for me in celebration of my 47th birthday, and I give that last tree a high five and say, ‘GOD, WE’RE TOGETHER. WE’RE TOGETHER. WE’RE TOGETHER.’ Like yesterday, that meant parking somewhere before getting …
“WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THE KINDNESS OF MY HUSBAND?” (REPOST) That was me to my hubby last night as he served the boys and me the most delicious dinner. He didn’t eat with us because he was entertaining a guest, but we enjoyed ourselves without him. Then, this morning, they woke me up …
I’M NOT ENJOYING YOU; I’M ENDURING YOU!!! That was me joking with my hubby the other day! This marriage thing is no joke! But the great news is that God Himself is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives and He has become my wonderful Relationship Counselor. And His advice has led me on …
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR AGENDA IS”
Was a comment I got today! My response was, “Very simple: to be the best wife, mom, and person possible, all for God’s glory. Nothing more, nothing less.” And let me tell ya, that right there is the secret to living a successful life. With every decision seeking to please God, He loving guides us …
EVEN WHEN I PEE PEE GOD IS WITH ME
I have these meditation books in our bathroom to encourage my hubby to have appointments with God and late last night before going to bed, I felt I needed some time alone with Him reading my Jesus Calling Morning and Evening devotional by Sarah Young. That morning, I had received a beautiful WhatsApp message from …
GOD EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS
That’s my testimony FOR SURE! Today, I had to hug and kiss my daughters, Ember and Julie, goodbye as they left on a school trip out of the country. For months we’ve been on this roller coaster with their dad as to whether they would go or not. But I’ve used it as an opportunity …
“GOD COMFORTS ME SO THAT I CAN COMFORT OTHERS”

DO I USE GOD AS A WAY OF COPING WITH MY TERRIBLE LIFE?
I share my ups, downs, disappointments, frustrations, joyful and happy times, problems and proud moments, stresses and anxieties, weak, strong, brave and courageous moments to hopefully portray the fact that I’m going through this human experience just like everyone else, where we don’t know what to expect from one moment to the next. But, I …

“GOD DOESN’T WANT ME TO MISS OUT ON WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR ME”
That was me to my friend yesterday ENJOYING a piece of birthday cake at her house. As I sat down at the table to eat alone, I said let me see what God has to say to me through a kids’ devotional there. It was the perfect message, and I shared with my friend why: …
