Why we don’t come near to God.
I thought I would share my latest Sunday Sip post from my Mothering-Matters.com blog with you all today. It was not specifically geared towards just moms – and I felt like there was someone here that needed to hear this. If that’s you – please let me know! It always encourages me to hear that what I’m pouring out is actually quenching the needs and thirst of others – watering them to bring refreshment, growth, and more! Enjoy!

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! On Friday (Good Friday) I talked about how thankful I was for what Jesus did for me. But that was only HALF the story . . . Today is an even MORE joyful day!! Why? No . . . it’s not because the Easter Bunny is going to bring me chocolate eggs and candy. No . . . it’s not because we got to buy new outfits for church today. No . . . it’s not even because we … Read entire article »

Happy Good Friday!
I have this picture on my dining room wall. Several years ago, my husband and I went out for coffee at a Christian coffee shop, and this picture was hanging in their little gift shop. I could not take my eyes off it all night! I mentioned it to my husband, and he surprised me at Christmas with it a few months later. Why couldn’t I keep my eyes off it? I grew up in church … Read entire article »

Happy Valentine’s Day! You are LOVED!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I had wanted to say Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you earlier today, but I ended spending the day preparing to surprise my kids and hubby with a turkey dinner, “fancy” decorations for the table (including the “good” plates and glasses), homemade Valentine’s cards for the kids (that started off going to be just a simple cut out heart – but I got carried away cutting hearts!), Fundamiddles cupcakes and more! Currently my 9 year old just taught me how to play Texas Hold’em with him and his 7 year old sister (probably good ages for me to play against – as I don’t have a clue what I’m doing!). Then later we are using our FREE Redbox code we got on Facebook for Valentine’s to watch … Read entire article »

You are (already) LOVED!!
“She’ll kill herself trying to earn my love – when it’s hers already.” – Michael Hosea from the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers You are LOVED! The quote above hit me this morning as I was listening to this book on CD. You truly are loved . . . . already! There is nothing that you (as a mom, wife, friend, worker, nurse, teacher, doctor, etc) have to do, have done, need to do, or will do that will … Read entire article »

Married . . . but in love with another Man
I am in love with another man. It’s true. My husband knows all about it. And he approves. How about you? Who are the loves of your life? I have several – but there is one that tops them all. That’s right . . . It’s God! You know about Him . . . but do you know Him? When I went to college, my roommates started talking about these guys who worked at the campus radio station that they had met. My one roommate … Read entire article »

Love, for the Day is near
I know I talk about Love. I can’t help it! It’s in me, around me, coming out of me, and is who I am called to be (and to do). I hope you don’t get tired of hearing about Love – because He doesn’t get tired of you! 🙂 I just wanted to encourage you all today with what I was reading in my devotions this morning. Romans 13:8-14 “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt … Read entire article »
