Anyone Else Feel Done?
Today I feel done. I am done. Done with disrespect and disobedience and difficulties. Done with trying to reason with teenagers. Done with trying to reign in kindergarteners. Done with trying to make decisions. Done with trying to get organized. Done with cleaning up the mess my ex-husband has made. Done with trying to understand…

Repeat Offender…Me
Isn’t it just the way…when you start talking a lot about something, it becomes something big in your life? Even if it already was a big thing. I’ve been really blessed to share a lot about my story lately. And a big part of my story is forgiveness. I can’t overemphasis its importance in my…

Ranting and Resting
Dear Friends, I really want to share the following blog with you all not because it is so well-written or anything, but because I believe that it’s where so many of us, particularly single parents, find ourselves sometimes. It isn’t pretty at first, but God, as usual, used my time typing on these keys to…
