Mother of Seven + 2: For Those Who Are Praying

http://tashales.blogspot.com/2015/05/for-those-who-are-praying.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. For Those Who Are Praying. Physically, I am working on recovering from exhaustion. I still have a few nights a week when I struggle to sleep because my brain is trying to solve problems too big for me. I have fallen asleep while reading books or saying prayers with our little ones. Some days I have a hard time functioning because of the fatigue, but it is improving. Photo from freedigitalphotos.net. We love you all. Thank you for all the love you have poured out on us!

Mother of Seven + 2: God's Faithfulness through Brokeness

Monday, April 27, 2015. God's Faithfulness through Brokeness. The past four months have been the hardest in our lives. A couple of our boys are going through what we hope and pray is only a season of rebellion and finding themselves. I cannot share the depths of our pain or theirs, because I respect the privacy of our children. However, I can testify to what God has done when our world has been broken and shattered. God has walked beside me each step of the way. A family friend who lives miles away sent ...

Mother of Seven + 2: Planting Flowers

http://tashales.blogspot.com/2015/03/planting-flowers.html

Friday, March 27, 2015. In the midst of a storm. Plants are bent low. Flattened to the ground. Strewn in the puddles. Their beauty washed away. Sometimes rushes in torrents. You are on my heart. Praying for you all day as I am planting flowers and thinking of all your children.". Light breaks through the clouds. Peace enters my heart. Plants will lift their heads. New flowers will bloom. Enables fresh beauty to burst forth. Seeds God has given me. In need of tender care. And I have loved. Christ in me -.

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Confessions from a Mom about Mother's Day. I am going to be brutally honest here about Mother's Day. I don't like it much. Every year I have hopes and expectations. They get crushed within moments of getting out of bed. My mind started its fuming. I have to admit I had a temper tantrum. I decided right then and there I would get myself ready, and we would see how everyone else managed on their own. My hopes were squashed as she headed to the shower. 8:15 Children began sitting dow...
