the Family Project

wow this review is coming WAY WAY WAY after the fact. I have read books in the past year but somehow my Tyndale books kept getting lost in the mess known as life.
*** received this book from Tyndale for free for the purpose of reviewing it and the thoughts expressed are mine :) ***

This book is one that when I requested it I didn't think it would pertain to me as much as it would be a great teaching tool ( since many of my readers know I work along side my husband in his role of student pastor). Which I think in retrospect my attitude probably adjudicated how I would feel at the end too- and hope to re-read it soon in respect to my life and relationships.

This book/ curriculum is built to help you see who you are in Gods eyes and your direct purpose in the family unit you have. I have struggled as my husband and I have been married longer to see us as a valid family unit with the all too often comments of " you will understand when you start a family". So I am going to take my five minutes of fame, my blog to stand on a soap box for other "families" like mine. When two become one on the wedding day they join together two families to become one family, so from day one you and your husband are family :) (this again is where I will remind you that I myself am in need of a review of this book on my own life).

I would highly recommend this book for any age of Sunday school class/ bible study group because I think it helps each person see the reminder of their importance in a family role as well as the boundaries they must set and adhere in your role.

till the next review

Review: More Than Just Making It by Erin Odom

Image
{necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher.

{review: More than Just Making It}  Erin Odom is the woman behind the Humbled Homemaker website, and her book shows just as much of her warmth as her blog. Erin is open and honest and full of grace as she shares her experiences through her own financially frustrated seasons. One thing that I love is that each chapter is sprinkled with bible verses and quotes from other resources she had sought along her journey. Each chapter is an area of life where we get frustrated and specific resources for you to personally seek out if you are in that specific season ( there was one chapter than hit me so hard between the eyes that I had to put down the book and take care of business). Erin reminds us that there is NO SHAME in struggling, and that we are to be open to receive help as well as we offer it.

Life: What 8 Months Can Do

If you are a follower of my blog, you may remember a little posty poo I wrote back in April titled, "Life: Adoption, Foster Care and Us" (if not check it out) which was the first time I was sharing publicly that I was okay if we never had biological children and a peek into my giant bleeding heart for foster and adoption. Well little did I know that only one month later I would be sitting in a doctor's office being told, " Congratulations, no antibiotics for you- you are pregnant.

Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

Why do I ever think I know what God is planning and timing is for my life? God continues to remind this planner obsessed girl that His clock knows better than mine. I have had to lean on that more than anything 8 months after that blog. My husband and I are still praying/seeking/interviewing for guidance on where God has laid out for us next in ministry, and currently will be bri…

Life: Not The Mama

Image
I watched Dinosaurs as a kid, and actually do not remember much except I do remember the baby yelling, "Not the mama", which is about what I echo each time I am out and about with the children that I have nannied in my life. I am not a mama, yet but I do care for the children I teach, coach and care for as if they were my own. So every time I say no I am not the mama, I am saying- but their mamas trust me to infinity and beyond with their kids and I do not ever take that lightly. I was chatting with a fellow nanny today and we decided we will make a National Nanny Day 😂

I struggle with mothers day because it is rooted into me deep that I want to be a mama. I want to be a foster mama and be able to stand in the gap as other mamas are working on things. I want to be an adoptive mama and take care of sweet babies ( what ever their age may be) who do not have family. I want to be a secondary mama to any children who are struggling.

With this said, I also had some amazing moms …
