How Do I Forgive Myself?

I'm sure I can speak for more than just myself when I say that it is often more difficult to forgive myself than to forgive others.  I have specifically felt immense guilt over certain relationships that it has taken years for me to even try to forgive myself.  Even when I thought I had forgiven myself, I expected punishment from God.  I felt that anything that went wrong was a direct result of my sin.  Maybe you're one of those people who have a difficult time forgiving yourself or expect punishment.  Or maybe you know someone like that.  Share this…

FREE (Printable!) Gratitude Journal

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I felt it appropriate to finally post my FREE Gratitude Journal Printable. In the past few weeks, I've really been thinking a lot about thankfulness, and it's not just because of Thanksgiving coming up (well, maybe a little bit...). What really brought it to the forefront of my mind was the fact that, last week, the topic was brought to my attention on a few occasions (just in one day!).  Each day I read a few different devotions.  I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I feel like that's the only way anything sinks in during…

To Be Honest

To be honest...it's past my bedtime.  I'm tired.  But I am here at my in-laws watching Penn State v. Ohio State (well...I'm not really watching, but who's keeping track?) To be honest...I'm typing this entire post on my phone...eek. Right now I'm part of the latest Bloom book study on Let's All Be Brave by Annie Downs.  And while reading through I've come up with a list of sorts.  A list of things I need to evaluate.  I'm going to share my list with you today and later answer my questions for you. So here's the list.  I hope you…

Sometimes You Just Need a Day Off

For those working Momma's out there...sometimes...(and I hope you realize it) you just need a day off. If I share anything in common with any of the other working moms out there in the world, I could probably bet that many of you hate taking a day off. For some of you, it just means there's that much to catch up on when you get back to work. For others, it might mean that you're short on pay for a day. I have been both of those. The latter is a real issue whether you're a working mother or not;…

Sore Throats Soothers

I had every intention of writing last week, but alas, my plans were foiled once again. I hope all of you out there in the world had a better week than I did! My week started out with an infection, mid-way through I caught the stomach bug, and on Friday I picked up a sore throat...which I found out today is strep throat. Which I also found out today Rapunzel has...along with pinkeye. We are just a mess over here. I think I will be disinfecting my house soon. Although there are remedies that you can take at home (which…
