Here in our house, we like to decorate the walls with Scripture. It’s a great reminder throughout the day of God’s truths and promises. I recently found a frame by the side of the road and saw real crafty potential. “A coat of coral paint could really transform this!” I mused. The frame is still…
A Lesson in Self Worth // Mommy-Brain Mixer
Ladies, I don’t know about you, but this video really struck a chord with me. How is it that we, preciously made children in whom God delights (Isaiah 62:4,) should have such negative opinions of ourselves? Check out the video and catch a glimpse of how women often unconsciously portray themselves. Then take a look…
Jumping First
Last month, I shared about our first steps into potty training. We went in pretty blind, with only the information I’d found online. If I had it to do over again, I would’ve stopped and prayed first. In all things we do in life, God gives us wisdom and guidance if we take the time…

Welcome to {Monday Mom Musings} link-up! I’m so excited you came to join the fun. Moms supporting moms is what Monday Mom Musings is all about.

How to Set & Achieve Spiritual Growth Goals in 6 Easy Steps
How many times have you halfheartedly sought to change something about yourself, your life, your situation?

My Take on Biblical Living
We know that Jesus called us make disciples of all nations in Matthew 28:19, but are we ourselves living as His disciples? Think about it; in the Old Testament times and even into Jesus’ day, Rabbis were followed around by young scholars, rabbis-in-the-making, if you will…disciples. These boys wanted what the Rabbi had. They wanted…
Do you have an appetite for Jesus?
How’s your appetite? A hearty appetite is a great indicator of good health. *Speaking of appetite, I’m guest posting a recipe for Coffee Nutella Swirl Ice Cream with Little Becky Homecky today! The healthier we are, the better and more consistent our appetite. The same goes for our spiritual health. Someone who isn’t feeding themselves…
Creation Reveals His Glory
This afternoon I sat outside on the porch swing with my sweet babygirl in my lap as the rain came down. Peering out into the gorgeous green garden, I couldn’t help but think of this inspiring verse that I personally find to be overwhelmingly, heart-meltingly true. I heart nature. Yeah, so it’s not raining in…
Can’t Touch This Joy
Lately, I’ve struggled a lot with being joyful. Every night as I wind down for bed I remember a little too late that I’ve chosen “joy” as my word of the month. As I recount my daily activities, it seems that the joy I mean to exude hasn’t been exuded or sometimes even leaked out…
The True Cornerstone
Each of us builds our life around something. Some choose family, others money, still others may yearn for high-ranking positions and recognition.
