Support Local

During this time at home we have been working hard to support local businesses. Every weekend we have ordered from at least one local restaurant. This has included a chinese restaurant owned by a family for our public school system. Local pizza establishments (not big chains found everywhere). The local bakery, bagel place and bbq

God’s Kingdom Economics

“When the members of God’s Kingdom begin wisely valuing the things God values, it improves the condition of everyone involved in the system.” This was from the devotional in my Bible App this morning. God values people, no matter their social, financial, or racial circumstance. Within God’s kingdom we are called to view people in

Faith Over Fear

My trust is fully in him.  I have been hurt in the last few months when people post things or comment things about me living in fear.  Not usually me specifically, but people who are currently doing the same as me. I mean, my heart genuinely aches when someone says that if we believe in

Friends for Life

I often take my inspiration for writing from my morning bible lesson. Out of the 3 lessons that I am currently working through, friends was the theme in all of them. Isn’t it crazy when that happens? Reading from 3 different lessons, 3 different parts of the bible and they all have a similar focus.

Everything in this world is crazy right now. It is confusing, surreal and everyone tries to pretend that they know exactly what the right choice is. Well, I don’t! I do not know what the right choice is. I have been making what I believe are the best decisions for my children and my family,

Yesterday Pt 2

A couple of years ago I wrote this post… Yesterday Well this is the same story, only it happened again.  My husband says that it isn’t the same.  Tell that to my heart because it sure feels the same. 8 weeks ago we picked up a foster pup from a shelter.  We didn’t know anything

96 days until #40in2020

Mother’s Day was just a few days ago.  I suppose most of us are aware of that.  This year for Mother’s Day I received a couple of gifts that were inspired by Bible verses! The featured image of this post is actually the picture of the back of my t-shirt.  My husband and I my
