Are You Living in Great Contentment?

~Whitney~ Ever since I was a kid I've always had a fascination with learning about the Great Depression. I had "Kit" the American Girl Doll who's story took place in the 1930's and I read her books more times than I can recall. There was this intrigue with having to live with the bare necessities …

New Beginnings

~Whitney~ A week and a half ago we started seeds indoors for our garden! Whoop Whoop! I'm really looking forward to our little garden growing fresh tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, and other yummy goodness for our family and others. The kiddos were eager to help as their little chubby fingers held the tiny seeds. They …

I Just Want Him.

~Willis~ I've had two events recently with Little Man that have challenged me about my walk with God. I'm only going to bring up one today. Little Man has a bible with pictures in it. While in church on Sunday nights when we turn to different passages he typically turns to different pictures that he …

The Semi-Sane Mom’s Guide to Busting Cabin Fever

It can spread itself around faster than the flu and stays much longer than anyone wants.

Stinkin’ Thinkin’ {Vs. Thankful Thinkin’}

God Sees You, Momma {Her View From Home}

It’s sometimes hard to see what you do as ‘important’. But God does. You see yourself kissing endless boo-boos. God sees you raising the future. You see yourself once again rocking the baby in the middle of the night. God sees you bringing new life into the world. You see yourself folding clothes and washing …

To Win or Not to Win

~Willis~ I am a very competitive person, so most everything I do becomes a competition. If you sit next to me in church and the preacher says, "Turn in your Bibles to Psalm 133:1," you can guarantee that I'm turning there as fast as I can then looking to see if I got there before …

I’ve Had it with “Mommy Forums” {Her View From Home}

I’d like to share with you an article I wrote for an online magazine Her View From Home. Hope it’s a challenge to you to watch what you are allowing to influence you. “Let’s just get this out in the open: I’m tired of being discouraged and defeated by other moms who are discouraged and …

The Day I Wasn’t Right {Learning Faith}

~Whitney ~ The day was Willis' birthday. The event was a date night out. The place was the Green Tree Mall parking lot. The mood was less than romantic. Here we were on what was supposed to be a nice evening out with just the two of us. A friend from church was watching the …
