I am a 40-something, homeschooling, married mom of two in Northern California who loves Jesus and has a strong desire to reach women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and alone.
I haven’t always walked well with God. I grew up in a wonderful Christian home, but then spent a good 15 years going my own way. In 2015 He brought me back to my knees in surrender before Him, and I’ve been steadily growing in His love and grace ever since.
I have been lucky enough to experience many of the great extremes in life. My twenties were spent as an independent, career focused, single woman; and then as a married woman struggling with infertility followed by a high-risk pregnancy. My thirties were spent raising my kiddos through their early years while balancing life as a successful full-time working mom. And now in my forties, I’ve been called out of the workplace and into my next great challenge: homeschooling!
Through every stage in my life, I’ve been hit with one great enormous truth – its all so draining!!! But over and over, my Father brings me back to the comfort of His promise.
“He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.”
Psalm 23:2-3
Marriage can work, if we make the choice to honor the commitment made and to learn and grow together. This is what we have learned so far in our happy marriage. My hope is that you can learn from our mistakes, and maybe recreate our wins.
I don’t care who you are, or what your current life stage is, you know what it means to be too busy. When we crowd so many activities, people, and responsibilities into our lives, there is little time or energy left for any sort of joy. Even those things that started out as fun, can choke the enjoyment out of life if we allow them. How can I stop being so busy in life?
God’s love is one of those topics that has been over taught. The verses that have been used to describe it have been over quoted. Not that they shouldn’t be, don’t get me wrong. But for many of us, we’ve grown numb to the information, not fully grasping it’s meaning within our hearts.
