Blindfolded
I should have had my baby in the back of a car on a highway in the middle of rush hour, as it poured down rain and ice. My experience with the hospital when I gave birth to my only son was far less pleasant and fraught with mishaps. I hear about the wonderful, dreamlike experiences other women have had, and that was not mine. It was one mistake after another, and I was cut open for the birth of my angel. It was hell. Angels should never be delivered in such a place.

Duck, Duck, Greyduck
You are sitting in a circle talking and playing word games when one of the boys says, "Let's play duck, duck, greyduck, or goose. Your choice. Many had heard of it and even played it before. A few had never heard of it or played it and didn't know if they wanted to participate.

True Love Isn’t Perfect It’s Worth Working For
True Love Isn’t Perfect — It’s Worth Working For True love is not about finding someone who never makes mistakes. It is not about finding a relationship where everything is always easy, peaceful, and perfect. The truth is, no relationship is perfect. Every couple will have disagreements, misunderstandings, bad days, hurt feelings, and moments when they wonder if things are still worth fighting for.

My August in January
There are moments in life you know will come, yet you can’t prepare for them. Like seasons at their end, you know they come; you may even be anxious for them, but once they happen, you lament the past. You grieve what has gone by the wayside, even knowing it will return again, new.

My Parents Have One Son to Be Proud Of, and It's Not Me
At this point, I have written many times about how I have screwed up my life over and over, and how I am still now at a point of desperation and trying to climb up hill battles to fix myself and my life. Well, I have an older brother who, of course, has made his fair share of mistakes as well. However, unlike me, he generally does everything he is meant to do and then goes beyond that a little further.

I Was a Failure As a New Mom
At thirty-eight, I finally carried a baby to term. After three miscarriages, my dream came true. I owe it to some incredible physicians and to prayerful women. I held my baby in my arms the day I delivered via C-section, and I was in awe. It’s an amazing thing to hold a human being in your arms who grew inside you. I still can’t wrap my head around the concept. New Mom.

My Brain Tumor
I had been getting these mind-splitting headaches for a few days already. The thoughts ran through my mind because, of course, I am a worrier. Maybe there was something wrong with my eyes. I was having sensitivity issues. It could have been severe tension, though I was not feeling tense.

She is a Wilderness
Good morning everyone! I hope everybody had a fantastic week. I know mine was great. One of my favourite things about being a parent is the little moments. Sure the big moments are great too like the first steps, graduating Kindergarten, birthdays, and all the big things that we will remember. In my opinion, it is the little things that happen as a parent that stick with you the longest.

The Crown Between Them
The palace had never felt so quiet. For decades, it had been a place of ceremony, tradition, and carefully measured words. Every step mattered. Every glance carried meaning. But behind the polished doors and historic walls, it was still a home—one that had slowly grown divided.
