Messy

It was messy, but it was beautiful. Isn’t life like that? Life is messy. We are messy people, full of conflicting emotions and bold dreams and dark fears. We are never going to be able to control tomorrow, predict next week, or fully prepare for next year. We are messy. And guess what, we are beautiful!

Foundations

What are we teaching our children about God? What spiritual foundation are we laying down for them? When our children are adults, will they have to tear down the faulty foundations we are laying down for them now? Or will they be able to build upon the firm foundation of faith we are laying down for them now? If we do not teach our children to follow God, the world will teach them not to.

Busy

As a little girl, I remember my grandmother telling me, “The devil cannot make you bad, but he can make you busy.” Well, these days I certainly have been busy. I have been busy supporting my husband in ministry. I have been busy homeschooling my children. I have been busy maintaining my house. I absolutely have been busy tackling the never-ending supply of dirty laundry and the never-empty sink of dirty dishes.
