To the desiring woman still waiting to be Mom, It's hard, isn't it? Still waiting. Hoping that this would be the Mother's Day you celebrate as a Mother with a child in her arms. While you're still hanging on to hope and know God has a plan there's still a deep ache inside your heart. And you wonder if you can make it to Sunday morning service where all the Mother's are ...

When the healing doesn’t come
I'm in a small group Bible Study and we're working through Jennifer Rothschild's study called "Missing Pieces" and it's so very good. Jennifer is blind and she shares openly of her years of praying for God to heal her.

Wondering why God did things a certain way when He had all the power and control to do things differently - things that make more sense to him.

Things I learned in March – Looking Back
Bible Journaling really does help me "linger longer" and Illustrated Faith has cool stuff. These Bible Study Resources have proven to be really awesome the last few weeks at our church: Brave Girl by Jen Hatmaker. A study for tween/teen girls. Our teen girls and their Moms are doing this study in two different classes of course because how not cool to have Mom attend ... Read More »
