I don't know about you, but I am always wanting to do something "great" for Christ. You know, something so amazing and life changing - the kind of thing that will leave a lasting legacy. I often forget that I can change the world for Christ in small ways: kindness towards neighbors, sharing great Christian content on this blog, and volunteering in the community. I can also have a big impact on my largest mission field at this time: my own family. But still, I find myself losing myself in … [Read more...]

Mother Daughter Movie Night on Netflix
Mother's Day is coming up. Very soon. I'm going to keep saying this --> where is 2015 going? It is just flying by. I like to have breakfast with the kids on Mother's Day but then I usually like to relax. Honestly, I spend most of my days with my kids. Like 24/7 kind of time.
