Sweet Mother Molasses: A Little Independence

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2010/06/little-independence.html

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. The whole point of parenting is to train your children to live without you.right? Hopefully, our kids will grow up and eventually be on their own, although my parents might tell you that children are never really on their own! But nonetheless, that is the goal and I'm just not completely sure I like it. I want to keep Hannah in a safe protected bubble under my watchful eye forever. And I don't see anything wrong with my way of thinking! Will she call again soon just to check in?

Sweet Mother Molasses: April 2009

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 24, 2009. The Birds, The Bees and The Ark. I love light bulb moments. You know those rare moments where all of sudden you finally get it, whatever it. Is Somehow in a blink of an eye, everything aligns perfectly, all the dots connect and aha, the light bulb comes on! My daughter had one of those bright glowing occasions yesterday morning. But she persisted with why. Why don't we live that long anymore? I had asked for the video to be sent home so that Hannah and I could view it together pri...

Sweet Mother Molasses: September 2009

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 7, 2009. Shaved Legs and Grown Up Stores. The last couple of months have included some major rites of passage for Hannah. And, I'm not all that thrilled with them! Hannah has been bugging me for over a year to start shaving her legs. I have resisted for a couple of reasons. First, she is my little girl! So I finally relented. This year is her first year in middle school and let me tell you that middle school is one very big deal! I went first, showing her how to hold the razor while exp...

Sweet Mother Molasses: December 2009

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 28, 2009. The White Stuff and A Stocking Surprise. Bing Crosby might have liked it, but a white Christmas is a big pain in the.well actually.it's a pain in everything! This morning I woke up and could barely move. I thought to myself, hmm. It feels like I have been exercising, of which I really don't do very often. Then it hit me, duh, I shoveled a snow packed driveway! Every muscle in my body hurts and the worst part.I didn't completely finish the job, I was saving that for today! I fin...

Friday, July 23, 2010. Don't Look Back - Coach John R. Wooden. The years have left their imprint. On my hands and on my face. Erect no longer is my walk. And slower is my pace. But there is no fear within my heart. Because I'm growing old,. I only wish I had more time. To further serve my Lord. When I've gone to Him in prayer. He has brought me inner peace,. And soon my cares and worries. And all other troubles cease. He has blessed me in so many ways,. He has never let me down. Forever in His loving care.

Sweet Mother Molasses: January 2010

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 11, 2010. Over the years I have tried several different ways to incorporate daily devotions into our lives, with little success. What could be better than actually reading the Bible? I absolutely love reading the story of Abraham and Sarah. Maybe I love their story because I am almost 45 and still secretly hope God will bring more children into my life. After all, Sarah was around 90 when her beloved Isaac was finally born! Clearly, He needs my help.right? UPDATE TO SINGLE MOM COOKS.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Discouraged, Frustrated, and a Little Green in the Eyes. I usually love checking my email. It's kind of like checking the mail box and hoping for a letter from an old friend or getting an unexpected party invitation. But, Sunday night sitting in my inbox was disappointment all bundled up in a nice, neat email! Finally, through a vision, Paul figured out God wanted them to go to Macedonia and preach. I'm all for going to Macedonia, just point me in the right direction! My frustrati...

Sweet Mother Molasses: The Single Mom and the Strong-Willed Child

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2010/08/single-mom-and-strong-willed-child.html

Tuesday, August 3, 2010. The Single Mom and the Strong-Willed Child. God is omniscient, all-knowing. It’s basic Christian theology. But if God knew I would be a single mom, I can’t for the life of me figure out why He would give me a strong-willed child. Single parents should have nice, easy, compliant children. This iron-willed trait made its debut early in the life of my daughter Hannah. When she was 2 years old she refused to stay in her car-seat. This didn’t just happen once. An unwanted divorce had ...

Sweet Mother Molasses: August 2009

http://sweetmothermolasses.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 6, 2009. Sometimes you just know it is a God thing! Without a doubt you know God is speaking to you, directing you and orchestrating people, places and events just to talk to you! This happened to me recently, but to be completely honest I wasn’t really all that crazy about what God was saying! My daughter and I are members of a large Southern Baptist church that is in major growth mode. Both of us have been feeling a little lost in the big sea of people. How can God use me here? The nex...
