Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: December 2010
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 1, 2010. On my birthday, which was just over a week ago, I stopped at the coffee cart down the street from my house, knowing they gave out free drinks for birthdays. I figured it would probably be the most amazing tasting beverage I had ever consumed, since I had been so terribly deprived for the last month. It was okay. Strange, I thought. I thought of this verse in Proverbs:. One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry, even what is bitter tastes sweet.". I'm a dr...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: The Bible's Next Top Model...?
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2011/10/bibles-next-top-model.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. The Bible's Next Top Model? Last week I was at the gym when a woman looked at me and said:. Look cute. I hate you.". I was slightly offended. Call me crazy, but I actually don't like it when people hate me. Now, I realize she may not actually hate me, but the feeling also wasn't warm and kind. What is it with us women that we think everything is a contest and we want to trip all the other girls running alongside us? Did you know that Esther was basically picked by the king in an...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: Pregnancy Blahs & Beautiful Things
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2012/06/pregnancy-blahs-beautiful-things.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Pregnancy Blahs and Beautiful Things. Right now, I have acid reflux burning a hole in my esophagus I'm pretty sure, even though I've eaten 14 tums and some Prilosec today. I also feel like someone is stabbing me with a letter opener where my round ligament connects to some bones down south. So.pretty much, I feel awesome. Self on the Shelf. Just log on to Facebook for a few minutes, and you should get a good dose of how easy it is for our attitudes to slip into the pit of pity&#...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: Work Minus Motivation = Monday?
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2011/10/work-minus-motivation-monday.html
Sunday, October 16, 2011. Work Minus Motivation = Monday? I really don't feel. Like writing tonight.What I feel like doing is grabbing a key lime pie martini and sitting in a bubble bath. Don't you love doing things when you lack motivation? How many times have you been to the gym where you were far more interested in making conversation with people than getting on the treadmill? 1 LOG OFF FACEBOOK - Women's Health says that "people average seven hours a month on the social site." Seven hours a month?

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: The Night of Endless Vomit (Oh no, she didn't!)
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2011/11/night-of-endless-vomit-oh-no-she-didnt.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. The Night of Endless Vomit (Oh no, she didn't! I witnessed a dad tonight who deserved a medal. I was sitting in Starbucks with my laptop when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw his 3 or 4 year old daughter start to throw up all over the floor. He calmly came to her side, tried to comfort her and then walked up to the counter and asked for a mop. I spent the rest of the evening scrubbing floors, children's butts, doing laundry, dishes, and trying not to yell at the dog anymore&#...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: Someone Find me a Tent - I want to Wear It!
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2012/03/someone-find-me-tent-i-want-to-wear-it.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Someone Find me a Tent - I want to Wear It! Just when I think I'm doing okay, God peels back another layer in my heart and reveals something else I need to work on. It's so easy to let days, weeks, months and years pass and just be good enough - after all, I'm faithful to my husband, patient with my kids most. Of the time, kind to my neighbors, involved at church, run a business with integrity.what else could I need to do? Anyway, I digress.back to the devotional. As I was readi...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: June 2011
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. Without fail, it seems that the best writing I produce stems from some event that has caused me pain. I guess you could call me a girl that learns the hard way. My Native American name would probably be: Shannan One Who Has Thick Skull. I know my dad has told my sisters at times "don't make the same mistake Shannan did! The next morning I was back at my frantic pace, only stopping briefly, on my way out the door to check my voice mail. Great-granddad had passed away. It's hard to k...

Rediscovering God: A Really Imperfect Mom's Journey: September 2011
http://godlysinglemom.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2011. The Spirit is Willing - The Flesh is Pitifully WEAK! It happened already. I almost caved. It is SO much easier to make commitments than it is to keep them! I even tried to get my best friend and my husband to give me an excuse to be off the hook. I'm so thankful for friends and a husband that are here to remind me why I made the commitment in the first place. Recently, a woman who is a mentor in my life, sent me this email in regards to the choices I make:. The problem is d...

Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Oh yes, work and family life. Work has been a major bummer lately. Call me crazy, but I don't feel inspired. Speaking of being responsible, I just realized that it's 9:45 and I was having so much fun re-decorating my blog that I sorta forgot to finish tucking the boys in after telling them they could keep reading until 9. Oops. Ha ha.}. If anyone wants to plan some playdates with us, the weather is looking good and we're ready! Come soon July 18th! Links to this post. I find mys...
