Aug 16 The Oldest is the "Practice Child" and This is What I've Learned

Motherhood, Life, Faith

I wish I could say I’m the perfect mother. But…I’m not. Not even close. Day after day I mess up in a million ways, and I'm still the right mom for the job.

In tiny glimpses, it ALL feels like enough. My life. This hard, broken world. My family. Me, even.

I don’t think He’s keeping track, and I just don’t think He’s keeping score.

Motherhood, Faith

Mar 28 Life Happens In the Ordinary

Motherhood, Life, Faith
