Learning to Embrace Every Season of Motherhood…One Day at a Time
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 [...]
You know when you meet someone that God just could not wait to “introduce” you to, and then the meeting happens – and it is like a moment where you just stand frozen in time at the beauty in the person He created? This woman – this writer – this momma – is the very [...]
I hide my gray hairs behind my ears as I peek in the mirror quickly on the way out the door. It certainly feels like I have been a grown-up for a long time, and have big girl responsibilities. Having all of these children and not being the “young chica” that I used to [...]
I can’t. How many times have you heard this as a mom? It could be from eating their vegetables, to saying hello to a new person, completing a chore, or schoolwork. Can’t – the universal code for kids to display their lack of perseverance and effort. A pivotal point in a parents conscience – to [...]
I remember when I had one child, and the days seemed to be over much too quickly. When I was more youthful and had more energy to raise my little one and still stay up past his bed time – like an adult. I remember when I had three children. I began reading books, and [...]
“There are hundreds of ways that pain can rip through our lives.” How are we to face it? How do we keep from crumbling under the weight? And this is what drew me in. Reading Natasha’s book was like walking the road with her through pain and redemption. I was pulled in by her words, her [...]
Her eyes would not connect with mine, and I knew it was serious. This place of struggle was not foreign to me. Life’s demands had caused me to sacrifice my testimony and justify my attitudes of frustration and anger at many moments in my life…more so as [...]
“I will look at people when they speak to me.” “I will ask questions that I don’t understand.” “I will sit or stand up straight.” “I will not draw attention to myself” “I will keep my eyes, ears, hands, feet and mouth free from distractions.” [...]
Those not so stellar days that I would rather put onto a shelf and not file away in my memory – Yep, you know the very days I am speaking to. Not my finest moments. Still brain bending about what could have made the day better, or how I could have used each opportunity differently. [...]
My shirt was inside out through the entire visit with the ballet moms on the waiting bench. While on a Target run after ballet, and through a speedy – in- store chat with someone who recognized me, and then while zipping through the check-out. It wasn’t until my weary body could stand not one minute [...]
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. I have been married for 23 years to the man that protects my heart, and seek guidance daily as I raise 10 children for my Lord. I homeschool, plant seeds daily, memorize His promises and push aside my mistakes, letting go and letting God.
