Simple Strategies for Teaching Children to Manage Anger

- February 28, 2021

Can we talk for just a moment about anger... It's on my heart and I'd like to have a real discussion about it. Not just anger in us as parents, but anger in our children. You see, I've come to realize that many adults are not aware of how to manage their anger, simply because they were never really taught how to when they were younger. And so we have to vicious cycle of under managed and or mismanaged angry behaviors that just continue to repeat in us as adults and we pass it on to our children, and they pass it to their children and so on and so on. Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But many kids struggle to understand the difference between angry feelings and aggressive behavior. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Often times when children are younger and they express a feeling of anger, we as the parent get upset ourselves at the little child and

7 Scriptures to Encourage the Weary Mom

- February 04, 2021

Are you a weary mom? I've been a weary mom before myself. Moms can and do grow weary sometimes. Weary when your little ones don't sleep through the night. Weary when the children don't obey. Weary when there are more tears and screaming cries than there is patience. Weary when your teenagers think they know EVERYTHING! Weary when the dishes are piling and the dinner still needs to be cooked ( the dinner no one wants to eat) Weary when you feel like you've lost the woman you once aspired to be. Just weary... Yes, weariness stinks, and in the midst of those moments it feels like everyone else has everything all together, and everyone else’s baby sleeps through the night… and everyone else’s teen listens respectfully, and so on and so on... Precious mom, I am here to tell you that 1) you are not alone, and 2) others are or have experienced your same struggles. Do not be deceived nor discouraged. Normal isn’t normally shared these days. But, I want YOU pr

Worried About Raising Children in THIS World?

- January 09, 2021

With everything happening in the world these days it's easy to find yourself being worried about raising your children and them growing up in a world filled with so much hatred, violence and an evident lack of genuine love. The way we view the world now, as mothers, is probably much different than we have ever viewed the world around us. Did anyone else view the world and things differently after becoming a mother? Now, instead of just you to think about you have a whole other life form (or in some cases multiple ones) to think about! I mean that's a tall order, you are responsible for another life! As if being responsible for your own wasn't difficult enough. You now have a new generation of other people to think about and that's deep. Then add on everything we have seen and experienced in the last year and the last few days going into the new year and well, my heart just crushes a bit thinking about the future for our little ones. BUT.... When I cast my human flesh

Suffering In Darkness as a Child of Light

- December 30, 2020

As believers we have been brought out of darkness into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ. How is it then that some of us are yet suffering in silent darkness. Are you a woman who is suffering in darkness today? Do you find yourself overcome with feelings of sadness that no one around you knows about? Do you hide away in a quiet room some days to cry? Are you suffering through life and motherhood with no joy? Do you feel lost and alone? Well you don't have to suffer alone. You don't HAVE to suffer in motherhood at all. Today, we call you OUT of darkness and depression. There is an answer to your trouble and his name is JESUS! As believers in Christ, saved from sin by the blood of the lamb, we are called to be children of light in the earth. We should not be as others who know not Christ. We are to know him, and in such a way shine like him in the earth. The bible tells us that we were once in darkness (before we came to follow Jesus and know his truth) but are now c

Weary Mom, Don't Give Up

- December 07, 2020

This one is to all the weary moms who are secretly hurting because she's afraid to tell anyone in her life, thinking they simply won't understand or make any difference anyway. Or perhaps thinking she has to be strong so no one sees her pain and thinks of her as any less of a mother than she already feels about herself. Weary mom, I know that you are exhausted beyond explanation and just want to throw in the towel. I know you lay in the corner of your bed soaking your pillow as you cry silently beside your spouse hoping no one hears you. Weary mom I know that each night as you shower, just as easy as the water falls from the top of the shower head tears fall from you eyes. I see you standing there at the kitchen sink trying your BEST to hold it in and hold it together for the sake of your kids. No mother wants her children to see her cry. "Mom is OK" you tell them. Weary mom, I see you taking that MUCH needed 5 minute break on your bedroom floor, to just cry becaus
