    Handling Hard in Friendship: Just Show Up

    January 6, 2016 /

    It starts with a phone call, a knock on the door, a doctor’s test result and out of nowhere, hard just showed up. Suddenly, life becomes divided into before/after. This week again has been a series of hard emails and phone calls. Serious, deep needs have surrounded me. And I’ve been reminded that I can just show up even if that is silent prayers and text messages. (this site uses Affiliate links-purchases support our ministry through a small referral fee that never affects your cost.) What do you do when the news isn’t yours? How do you just show up when a friend goes through HARD? Saturday, I started reading Just…

    3 Ways to be a Happier Mom

    December 8, 2015 /

    Do you want to be a happier mom? Be a Mom without complaining. Did you just laugh? Because momming is soul sucking. You have an MBA but just spent ten minutes arguing with a two-year-old that the strawberry jam in the squeeze bottle is exactly the same as the jar. Cleaning house is pointless. You want a healthy, clean house for a tiny person who leaves messes in his wake like Godzilla in Tokyo. Life is a never-ending cycle of feeding people, cleaning up after people and doing chores over and over and over. And sometimes there is poop – okay, lots of times, there is poop. So how do…

    3 Reasons Having Children Will Not Make You Happy

    November 18, 2014 /

    Thinking of having children? Are you wistful at the sight of a swaddle blanket? Hopeful while gazing at bumper guards and high chairs? Delirious for tiny dresses with delightfully adorable matching shoes? We crave these pieces of parenting, but will having children make you happy? Oh, the ache for a baby. It can be something that swallows us whole. After my hysterectomy, I sobbed at my sister’s baby shower. Her children were prayerfully conceived after miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and several rounds of fertility treatments. I certainly didn’t begrudge her having the twins, but I mourned the children I would never carry. Fast forward 4 years, and we were preparing…
