She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. March 14, 2014. My heart hurts today. My heart hurts for loved ones with hearts broken by this broken world. My heart hurts for a much loved baby girl with a heart in need of physical healing. My heart hurts for family and friends, their hearts mourning and celebrating a kind gentleman. My grand-dad’s long time friend…. It’s so tempting to question God. Tempting to be angry. Tempting to lose faith, to not trust in Him. He leads us well. We donR...

She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. April 25, 2014. April 25, 2014. His fever and sickness left him weak and tired, crashed out on his bedroom floor unwilling to even change into pajamas. I can’t blame him. We’ve all been there, sick and worn. As it is, we are ditching (home)school today in favor of the five movies I checked out at the library yesterday. I’m drinking my fourth cup of coffee with some Hershey’s syrup added for the sake of my sanity. Sitting here t...Grandma’s h...

The Artist | Aspire 31
https://aspire31.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/the-artist
She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. September 8, 2014. My high school art teacher, an amazing lady, taught with joy and passion. I loved her class best of all. I really wanted to be an artist, but I greatly lacked that something that makes an artist. I was just a high school girl, trying so hard to just fit in and not stand out, who was afraid to be different. It’s hard to create beauty when you are trying to hide. So many times, the bible says “do not fear.” Right? Do you get that?

She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. March 22, 2014. March 22, 2014. It started to go on Monday and by Tuesday all I could do was whisper. This seems to happen to me, a lot. Laryngitis. It’s Saturday, and my voice still sounds like I gargled with gravel. Quieted all week, my words float around in my head. I sit at dinner and listen to my children and my husband talk, smiling at them and enjoying this odd sensation of being an observer. There’s only so much a magic eraser can do.

She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. January 30, 2015. January 30, 2015. I’m not the mom I wanted to be. I think she got lost somewhere along the way. I have four children, spaced evenly apart by 22 months, each time. When the youngest was born, I also had a one year old, a three year old, and a five year old. It’s okay. Take a deep breath. Your reaction is totally normal. It’s an overwhelming thought, right? I want to do more than just survive the day. I want to live each day. You d...

She looks well to the ways of her household… Prov. 31:27. What Do You Do? March 26, 2014.

Truth is, a lot of folks don’t see a lot of value in making a home. They just take it for granted, like it just happens. It’s sometimes easy to mistake something of great value for something worthless. Back in those early years, my defi...
