    When Life Leads to Tears

    I haven’t written here about all that’s going on with my life right now. There are many reasons why I haven’t written, yet there were many times I wanted to open my heart and share with you. If you haven’t noticed I haven’t been online much lately. Some posts have gone out which were pre-scheduled. Some were works in progress that I hastily finished up to keep the blog looking fresh. And many of my social media posts were pre-scheduled as well. But, personally, I’ve been away.  I’ve been away for about 8 weeks, away from blogging, away from homeschooling, away from home, away from my normal life. That’s because I’m living…

    Foolish Arguments in Marriage

    Marriage Moment: Lessons Learned from Foolish Arguments In the midst of a recent argument with my Beloved, I kept thinking to myself, this is the dumbest argument we’ve ever had. I knew it in my heart, and yet, we continued to escalate until we were screaming at each other. I also knew that he certainly was not thinking the argument was of any value. However, we simply could not seem to stop. Such foolish arguments in marriage are common. There we were standing in our bedroom arguing about light bulbs. He had recently replaced the bulbs in our overhead light. On my side of the argument, the light was extremely white,…

    Marriage Moment, This Kiss

    Connecting with Your Husband Do you remember that moment when he first kissed you? You know, him, the guy your married to. Was it an unexpected, ‘Oh wow, I can’t believe he did that.‘ moment? Or was it an exciting, curl your toes and make you swoon kind of moments?   Regardless of how the first kiss happened, I imagine it’s ingrained in your memory. Girls are kind of like that. We remember details that don’t matter to anyone. Details like; where we were, what was happening around us, what we were wearing and how we felt.   Is that still how you feel now when you get, or give,…

I’ve gone to 5 conventions since I began homeschooling, I’ve gone with my husband to 3 of those. What I discovered is that it’s during that time when he is truly tuned in to my role as…

    5 Tips for Reconnecting Your Marriage

    During Difficult Times, Marriage Moment These past six months have been interesting for Beloved and I. He continues to be unemployed, yet the Lord continues to bless him with work. He is working freelance television and sports production work and when he isn’t doing that, he has been able to work as a day laborer for a local HVAC company. I am so proud that he is a man who will work, isn’t afraid to work and would rather work than collect unemployment which would be so much simpler. (2 Thessalonians 3:10).

    Being Loved by a Good Man

    A Good Man Loves Others Before Himself   I am married to a wonderful man. When I am asked about him, I tell people that he is a good man. It may seem like a simplistic answer, but it isn’t really.   A good man puts the needs of his wife and family above his own needs. A good man will seek to honor God. A good man will maintain his integrity even in the face of ridicule.   He’s such a good man, my husband. I am so very thankful that the Lord has blessed me with such a loving, caring, giving and wonderful man. When I read verses such as……
