Finding The Sacred In The Fabric Softener
I've been coveting a certain poster for my laundry room for months. It's a vintage British poster that was used during World War II.
I have grand visions of hanging this over my own personal Mt. WashMe that resides next to the dryer.
But lately, I've been meditating on a verse from Colossians.
"Whatever you do, work at [...]
Smudged
Just like our home bears the marks of those who live here, I bear the fingerprints of the One who dwells in me. He is the potter and I am the clay. Daily He refines me. It's messy work. There's mud involved. Shaping, re-shaping… and fingerprints.
Our Pile of Stones
The day those two pink lines showed up on a pregnancy test, I was beside myself with joy. After months of praying for just such a thing, my husband and I were able to have our gleeful moment of celebration together. That same day, I went to Target to buy batteries but instead found myself [...]

That seemed simple enough, but when I thought about how the minutes ticked away [...]
Quiet Time With Not-So-Quiet Kids
You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart… You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house… Deuteronomy 11:18a & 19a (NASB)
The demands placed on a mom are so immediate, so in our face, that it is easy to get through an entire day and [...]
Getting To Know HIM
"If God never did another thing for you, would you still love Him?"
My husband's question crackled to me over the cell phone static. We were facing our second miscarriage in three months. We'd been so sure this pregnancy was the answer to our prayers and grief. And the situation did [...]
