My girls call me Cute Lil Mom. It's a nickname that's stuck and I love it. I love my family and my faith and I'm passionate about both. Sometimes, as I sit and enjoy my coffee and my quiet time, words just want to spill out of me and I need some place to share them. So, here is my blog.

Why put these passages together? Beyond the OT types of Hannah … Continue reading God’s Children
Thinking Like Mother Mary
1 John 1:1-4 Today’s Reflection: All during Advent, I reflected in a new way on the woman who allowed herself to become the mother of my savior. How did she feel? What thoughts went through her mind and heart? I gained a new respect for her and as usual, she pointed again and again to her … Continue reading Thinking Like Mother Mary
What Would You Have Me Say?
Matthew Chapter 10:17-22The following post was one I wrote this morning as I prayed and pondered if I should step out into the world of blogs. Originally posted on IG and FB, but I thought I'd add it here, since it was what prompted me to open up my computer and try again.

Here We Go… Stepping Out in Faith
I've been wanting to do this thing for a while. My family has encouraged me to try it. Others have even recommended I should. I have been posting my thoughts on Instagram or Facebook. But, really, who am I kidding? I'm on IG and FB all the time. That's easy.But a blog? That's a whole … Continue reading Here We Go… Stepping Out in Faith
