So many people now say social media is bad, and truthfully for children, it is bad. But for mentally healthy adults, social media can be a place of inspiration and a place to be challenged and even a place to grow in your faith. As a wife and homemaker, I answer to my husband for … Continue reading Curate Your Social Media

Faith Collages
I felt a little better today. I picked up, did some cleaning, got dinner going, and even wrote some poetry! My book is truly underway. I plan to self-publish next fall. I need to make the most of the days I feel ok. I never know when I'll get them. I have too much housework … Continue reading Faith Collages
The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
I was 18. It was the winter of my senior year of high school. I was sitting in my room hiding from the gray weather and my family. A voice spoke to me and said, "Go to the church," and told me to take my camera. I said no. It was cold, I didn't like … Continue reading The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
Church, Snow
We were supposed to be welcomed as members into our church today, but I vomited on the way. We were maybe 10 minutes from church when I started spewing and eventually couldn't swallow it down. I feel so bad. They were prepared to welcome us. Since then I have been resting. My dear husband made … Continue reading Church, Snow
Logos
I saw in an email from a seminary I have donated to that if you donate monthly, they will gift you the Logos Bible software. I'd heard of that before, so I decided to look into it. So far, I only have the free version on my phone, and I am amazed with it. So … Continue reading Logos
Doom Scrolling/Food
I've decided my social media habits need a major overhaul. Scrolling distracts me from housework. It also distracts me from reading books, which are much better for my mind than posts and memes. I don't want to get rid of my Facebook or Instagram. They're great for connecting with people, and one of my Instagrams … Continue reading Doom Scrolling/Food
The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Being a traditional wife, or trad wife, can be open a world of creative opportunity. My number one goal is to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also have a creative calling. I'm a poet who dabbles in nonfiction, short horror, and short science fiction. However, though literature was my mind's … Continue reading The Creative Calling and the Trad Wife
Thanksgiving
Our Thanksgiving has been wonderful. It was L's first Thanksgiving, and it was fun to share the day with her. C made an absolute feast for us, outdoing himself as always. Then, after we ate, C and A took naps while L and I painted. Now I'm reading a beautiful art book I got for … Continue reading Thanksgiving
New Church
We ended up trying a new church this morning because our church was shut for the Fall retreat we didn't go on. We went to a church far away, because it was the denomination we wanted, which is hard to find. When I tell you this church was wonderful, it lacked nothing. The service was … Continue reading New Church
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
