  Kids and Patience

  I screamed at my son this morning. Literally screamed at my five-year-old. To preface, he is at a stage where he demands everything. He refuses to say please and we are head to head when it comes to everything. My patience was wearing thin this morning. He screamed he wanted breakfast. I corrected him, and…

  Success

  An interesting topic came up yesterday with my sixteen-year-old son. To preface, he has a strained relationship with his father. I won’t go into details but it makes things difficult for both. With that said, my son mentioned how his dad considers himself successful but doesn’t think his dad is as successful as he thinks…

  Struggling with Discernment

  One of the important things I have always struggled with in my faith is discernment. Dictionary.com reveals the definition of discernment in the Christian context as the “perception in the absence of judgment to obtain spiritual guidance and understanding.” Honestly, I’m not 100% sure what that means. My context of discernment is figuring out what…

  Not as much of a Christian as other Christians…

  Have you ever attended a bible study, sat down, and had the thought, “I don’t feel like I belong?” Or have you been conversing with someone raised in a very conservative household and noticed how they speak about God and the Bible is very different from how you do? In my current study group, no…

  Social Anxiety

  I was invited to a bible study group a few weeks ago. I’ve always wanted to do one, just never taken advantage of the opportunity. I agreed without a second thought. The first week I was invited, I skipped out. The second week, I had a work function that ran over and I got home…

  Faith and Complaining

  My review at work was yesterday. There were 5 other people that were receiving a review in front of me. I was last. I spent the entire day agonizing over how it was going to go even though I have never had a bad review my anxiety gets the best of me. So, I had…

  Death & Grief

  I haven’t had much chance to finish my rough drafts in the last week. My husband’s grandfather passed away last night after being sick for a while. He had cancer and was in remission but it came back and took his body quickly. My husband was very close to him when he was younger and…

  Are the choices children make a reflection of the parents?

  My ex-husband and I have been very blessed with our co-parenting situation. We typically agree with most of the decisions regarding parenting the two children we have together (Yes, I have three but the third is with my current husband). Situations have recently arisen that made me ask a question, are the choices our children…

  End Game

  A question I have heard over the course of my relatively short life is if there is a God, why would He allow such terrible things to happen? So many people do not have faith because of this question. Most don’t want to hear the answer. Some genuinely just don’t know. I know I have…
