How My handsome Rocked My Morning Routine

Ok, Ok, after writing that title it does now sound a little risque... but let me explain... After 2 moves in 2 years, a remolded almost under our belts, a recent hospital stay with our oldest, the passing of our Nana, keeping the promise that we would not let life pass us by as we remolded, we were let's just say, coming a little unraveled. This made mornings when we could not find socks, along with breakfast so frustrating for everyone, not just this mama! Also, trying to ge

Be the one that Loves Gathering

I always love how each week the Sunday school lesson ties right in with what the Lord has been revealing to my heart during the week. This week was on friendship. We had such Titus 2 women speaking to the class on what true friendship between women can look like. It takes work, forgiveness and can usher in so much healing of the brokenness that this world leaves us in. And not to mention a whole lot of laughs. One of the key elements in the book of Luke describing the beginni

Love the mess

As we talked of cleaning up before the week starts, My handsome and I agreed that these toys will stay right there ~ because if we have a time, anytime we will be back to play. I love this season! These moments where my heart is ok with a mess as sweet as this ~ I know is a working of the spirit within me. Because my flesh would have the need to pick it all up~ sometimes even while we are still playing. Can you relate? Am I the only one that can almost not function with thing

Enjoying Motherhood, Without an Enjoyable Mother ~ on Mother’s Day

There are so many different points of views from motherhood on Mother’s Day. Mother’s day can be joyful and heartbreaking for so many women out there. Let me share how it is both Joyful and hurtful to me. And how I choose Joy with a side of grace. In my college days, I had friends that had to call their mommas when they were going somewhere. Or they had to ask for permission or input from their parents to do something. If I am going to be real, I thought to myself, that they

Simply Good Guacamole ~ This Momma’s Go to snack

Simply Good Guacamole My middle son, Simeon, said yesterday, “Momma likes avocados, like bacon”~ We love some bacon in the Strother home! And I love avocados in my fridge! I will throw a slice or two on a sandwich or add to a salad. I would seriously put avocados on basically anything. It is my go to snack or lunch to whip up some simply good guacamole dip. *Don’t hear that I eat this healthy all the time~ Because my other “go-to snack” is cheese fries~ Confession~ I just m

Take time to..

Our hearts break for those that don’t make time to bring their families to worship the One, True King on a regular basis. We know the impact it can have in softening hearts and leading us and our families to look more like Jesus as we come to know Him more! May we have our hearts are broken over being the church~ That includes corporate worship and so much more that will make our joy full! Seek Acts chapter 2 and see how you are doing your part to be the Light! In a world tha

An open letter to my 3 sons,

Oh, Beloved son of mine! I sit and watch you fight the urge to have fun playing outside instead of studying. I see you take clocks, flashlights, anything that has moving parts and dismantle them to see how they work. I see you build great things from great ideas with your hands, and I know how smart and strong you really are! I know that studying and sitting behind a desk is not the easiest for you, but I pray you find your strength to do what is hard and find it brings great

5 things my heart learned in 2 Floods

As I sit and listen to trucks and equipment take away my neighbors stuff that once was a part of their home. I am reminded again that it is not the stuff lost that we grieve, it is the heartache of our friends that have to plow through this time of restoring something that once brought such comfort~ their home! In our sweet, little southern town of Windsor, NC, we have experienced 2 major floods in 2 weeks! The First there was a sense of awe from everyone in the town the seco
