What is Christmas to you? | The Possum's Grin
http://thepossumsgrin.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-is-christmas-to-you.html
The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. What is Christmas to you? Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Jesus- wrapped up in cloth and in hay with smiling parents. Isn't that sweet? No wonder so many people believe that Christ's birth was a fairytale. I mean sure you have those that believe in science and have done "research" and will argue that there is no savior.no heaven or more than one way to get there if such a place exists. I should say I did get it. Until I got it. Jesus was born in a cave, A NASTY dung filled goa...

The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. And so it begins. Sunday, January 12, 2014. Busy day. Loud day. The kind of day when everything runs together into one BIG mess. I didn't even realize how chaotic it really was until I stepped off the porch into complete silence. I don't even remember hearing a car passing by. (strange around here). Many times in my life I have been an Abraham. Taking control of the situation and not waiting on God, because I didn't trust Him. Please pray for us as our family begins our n...

The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Friday, December 20, 2013. There is a very long line tonight at the mall. Screaming children dressed in their best waiting for a chance to wish on the lap of the Jolly fat man. He never really does look Jolly, does he? The parents don't either. Oh, I've done it.more than once. We tend to skip the line nowadays. What I hope you won't find in our home this year is an overabundance of stuff. Why is it that tend to find "things" we NEED this time of the year? There is no line...

The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. When a kingdom woman begins her day, heaven, earth, and hell take notice. –KW. That is the first line in a book I am currently reading. I read it and closed the book. I did that because I wake up in the morning and drink coffee. I’m pretty sure no one notices except my husband…and that is because he brings me the coffee. He is so brave (and smart). If I had actually just read on for a page or two I might have already figured it out. It will b...

The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Friday, June 13, 2014. When we told my Daddy that we felt like God was leading my husband to become a pastor, he laughed. Like a deep gut laugh. Not because of my husbands inability to be obedient to God but because who he was married too. Did I ever tell you that I am JUST like my Daddy, except I have my (less than 5'2 foot tall) Mama's sass. No, this one is about yours truly. Blah. For YEARS I struggled with being a Pastor's wife. How in the world? I'm done praying for ...

The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. For you, my friend. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Have you ever witnessed the creation of a stained glass piece? The drawing, cutting, smoothing, and washing of the fragments before it is pieced together? What will become of all the broken pieces? It is not the onlooker that knows nor is it the masterpiece. Only one knows at this point. The creator, the artist. A thesaurus will define the word broken as: collapsed, crippled, crumbled. I wonder why my name isn't there?

http://thepossumsgrin.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Wednesday, July 9, 2014. On the news yesterday there was a 12 year old boy who has invented a "reminder" of sorts for parents of young children. It was to let them know to check in the back seat for their children as to not leave them there to perish in the heat of the car. In his innocence, I'm sure he has no idea that some leave the child inside on purpose. I can dwell on things. In this matter, it has caused lost sleep.nightmares, nausea. Know whose dream you're chasing.

Pumpkin | The Possum's Grin
http://thepossumsgrin.blogspot.com/2014/10/pumpkin.html
The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Saturday, October 25, 2014. This afternoon, my children and I were carving pumpkins. I secretly compete against them. As the inside became more and more empty I began to have a feeling of sadness. It reminded me of how empty I was inside before I came to Christ. How I had made so many bad choices and this ol world had cut holes all through me and gutted me.leaving me completely barren. I have felt like that pumpkin looked, strong on the outside.nothing on the inside.

Living in the "if" | The Possum's Grin
http://thepossumsgrin.blogspot.com/2014/03/living-in-if.html
The Ramblings of a Mama of Many. Living in the "if". Tuesday, March 11, 2014. This morning my devotional was about Gideon. AKA me. You know, when one can identify oneself with so many different people of the Bible it isn't always a good thing. BUT it can always be a growth thing. In Judges 6:12 The Bible tells us that the angel of the Lord appeared before Gideon. (Many scholars believe that this was pre incarnate Jesus). So Jesus says to Gideon "The Lord is with YOU, mighty warrior". If I get this job.
