Chaos.

This is our second week without a full-time income. And I'm a planner. I like everything layed out in nice, neat lines. I'm going to come right out and say that I don't know how we're going to pay the bills. Prince Charming is starting a business, and it's a slow start, though he did get some side work the other day. The income we thought we'd have this month...well it hasn't come through and now we don't know when it will. My Etsy shop has been slow, and my hours were cut in half at work. Earning money with…

The Call

Okay, first of all I want to apologize to anyone who receives my email feed.  This system for scheduling posts is new, and I messed it up a few times trying to figure it out...and had no clue it would send each draft to you.  Hope you got to read the post anyway!  :) Secondly, today is kind of like "official announcement day." On Friday, my husband left his job at a warehouse to pursue a career helping non-profits with creating, updating, and/or maintaining their computers and other technology efforts.  He will also be serving individuals as well.  So we…

Right or Left?

Today's verse comes from Isaiah 30:21, which says: "Your Own ears will hear Him. Right behind you a voice will say, 'This is the way you should go,' whether to the right or to the left."

What does this verse mean to you?

Hi, My Name is Martha

Hospitality isn't my forte. I mean, I like to throw parties and all, and I throw at least one a year at Christmastime. I've planned birthday parties for my kids, I planned my dad's 50th, and I organized my 10-year high school reunion. And I've been told that my guests enjoy themselves (or that's what they say at least). But really I'm not a great hostess. Ask my mom. My sister and I are like night and day. Go over to my sister's house; her house might not be the most organised, but she'll drop everything to spend time with…

Uncle Tom’s List

Today I'm feeling a bit down.  Not on the outside of course, but there's just a damper on my heart that's bringing me down.  It's just that there was an accident this weekend, which killed a friend of my stepdaughters.  She was in high school.  While we weren't close to her family, as a mom, you just can't help but to feel sad.  For her family.  For the situation.  For the loss of potential.  For the loss of a vibrant life.  And I sit here wishing I could help but not knowing how.  There just aren't words. This all just…
