Being a Mom and Wife is an amazing journey but it’s different then what I imagined. And there have been disappointments along the way. However, in the midst of it all God always gives me more than I ask for! I’m surprised by His ways and humbled. He meets me where I’m at…
As a mother we have days were we feel as if we are crazy. Our day doesn’t go as planned. Our kids are out of control. Were feeling like we get no help. If we want something done we have to do it ourselves. Yes! I know. But I promise you, you are normal. You…
