Momming On The Go

My girls both had whooping cough in the summer of 2016. It took a full year for their lungs to heal completely and that year taught me to respect those respiratory illnesses, no matter how minor they might be. This last year Covid-19 got me thinking back to whooping cough. God used those memories to remind me of His breath of Life and the work and fruit of the Holy Spirit in my life now.

I created my own advent to do with my kids this year, 12 Days of Christmas style. The theme of my advent is God's redemptive plan for us from the very beginning. God's plan for us has always been life forevermore!

Specific Scripture Reference: 
John 3:16

Let me know if you want a copy of my advent!

Yesterday I felt sick all day. I realized that even the littlest things make the biggest impact on my day. I also realized I can't do life on my own which made me really appreciate my husband. My big take away from yesterday though was that it doesn't take much to brighten up the day of the people around me --  a smile, genuine interest in their life, acknowledging they are human... What better way to approach Christmas than with a happy heart, contagious with the love of Jesus?

Oren talked to Jesus on the phone last night. He was excited, yet reverent. It was special for him to talk to Jesus, and he did not stop his conversation with only words. He went around the room showing Jesus things that were special to him. I was reminded of the importance of treating God with that reverence, and also including Him in all of the parts of my life.

This is Part 2!

This week we get to learn from someone I have known for about 19 years: Megan White! She has been a pastor’s wife for as long as I have known her and she shares with me a little what it is like to be a pastor’s wife with younger kids, how to love pastor’s wives well, and encouragement for moms with younger kids in general. I am so thankful for who she has been in my life and how she helped guide me when I was in high school in the right direction of loving God and living well.

Thank you so much, Megan!

I have been battling fear this month. When I called to schedule something the Office Manager I talked to heard those fears and encouraged me to remember God's promises. When I remember those promises and to be thankful to God the more I remember how big God is and can walk forward in God's joy and strength.

A Big Thank you to my family and friends who contributed to sharing what they are thankful for!
Things the younger people were thankful for: "tractors," "my house," "my self," "newspapers," "back hoes," "green tractor," "seals."

My husband brought someone I didn't really know home for lunch last week. As we got to know him I realized anew how important it is to welcome people into our lives and be normal and real with them, letting them get to know us, and getting to know them. Everyone needs to know they are loved and cared for, and when we love the people around us, we all thrive.

My daughter asked me yesterday if God changed His mind. She is asking God for something specific and was asking me, without asking me, if she could trust God.  Can we trust God? Yes. We talked about a few of the verses and Bible stories that show us that God does what He says He is going to do.

Are you stressed because of the future? Last week we were almost hit by a car and I was reminded tangibly of how God sees what is happening and how He protects us in what is going on. No matter what happens, He is still God and He is my hope, peace, and joy.
