Learning to Embrace Every Season of Motherhood…One Day at a Time
My legs were so stiff from trying my new exercise video,, but I knew that this walk at the park in the morning hours would help stretch the muscles that seemed so tightly bound. Three laps I promised myself. As my usual self – my pace was fast and I was determined to make the [...]
Almost all of my God moments – are when I am fumbling and floundering. It is not a pretty sight. In many ways. I have been parenting for 21 years, and I am so far from getting it right. But, this month has taught me something I have never quite discovered in motherhood before. Maybe [...]

Walking a path into the carpeted floor at night with our beutiful newborns – as they require and sometimes demand our attention. Running for potty breaks in the middle of errands, dinner, and during the night. I need a drink mommy. Can we make cookies mommy? Can I have a friend over Mommy? I need [...]

Hi, I'm September and Welcome to a Day in my life! I am a child of the Most High King! He reigns first in my heart.
